OUR DOGS

We breed Australian Shepherds and  Border Collies

 

The Australian Shepherd, commonly known as an Aussie, is a breed of dog that was developed on ranches in the western United States.

For many years, Aussies have been valued by stockmen for their versatility and trainability. They have a similar look to the popular English Shepherd and Border Collie breeds. While they continue to work as stockdogs and compete in herding trials, the breed has earned recognition in other roles due to their trainability and eagerness to please, and are highly regarded for their skills in obedience. Like all working breeds, the Aussie has considerable energy and drive, and usually needs a job to do. It often excels at dog sports such as dog agility, flyball, and frisbee. They are also highly successful search and rescue dogs, disaster dogs, detection dogs, guide, service, and therapy dogs and obviously are the perfect family dog!

 

As everyone knows the Border Collie is said to be the most intelligent breed of dog, they are herding dogs developed in the English-Scottish border region for herding livestock, especially sheep. Border Collies are typically extremely energetic, acrobatic, intelligent and athletic, they frequently compete with great success in dog sports, in addition to their success in sheepdog trials but again make the most perfect pets as long as you have the time and energy they need dedicated to them.
