Built on a solid foundation of sound temperament, beauty & good health!
When we started raising Australian Shepherds in 2010 the world was a very different place. The breed was not well known & certainly Aussies were not commonly found in family homes as pets. The Aussie was mainly found on ranches or in show homes & was, in my opinion a hidden gem of a breed. Through the years the breed has gained in popularity & now you will see Aussies everywhere you go whether in town or the country. This versatile breed is also very complex and lines can vary greatly in temperament, energy & activity. We have focused over the last 3 generations on keeping only dogs for our future program that are well rounded, sound, loving & easy to live with Aussies! With the bonus of being beautiful & full of personality which we feel started with our gorgeous foundation dogs on this page. They can excel in any situation or home from the ranch to the city to the competition venue. We strive to maintain our consistent look & personality in our dogs & share those puppies with wonderful families who want these traits! Raising Australian Shepherds started out for us as a fun hobby that over the years has become our family business that we are so blessed by every day.
