Australian Shepherds of 3/W Farms

"Gypsy" is a second generation raised 3/W pup. "Gypsy" is incredibly sweet and docile and has been the best companion dog for us. We stay so busy on the farm and pretty much work outside ALL DAY LONG, Gypsy is right there with us and I just LOVE taking a break and she crawls right up in my lap and makes all right in the world, lol! I can't express how sweet and kind she is and what is truly amazing is how she puts that gentleness in her pups. Just like her, Gypsy's pups are so respectful and quiet, I get nothing but wonderful feedback on all her pups but the Grandma was the same way, her name is "Millie" now retired, she retired with a friend of ours and Grandma Millie is the same way, a velcro dog! It's really neat to see the personalities shine through from generation to generation but then again, both my husband and I were raised with Aussies, and been raising them over 35 years and not once have we had a bad aussies, they are just an Incredible breed and Gypsy is the epitome of the breed in looks and personality!

Meet Missy — 3/W Farms Cup of Cappuccino Missy is truly everything we look for in an Australian Shepherd, and she represents so much of what we have worked to establish here at 3/W Farms. Missy is third generation on her Dam's side, which is something we take tremendous pride in. Having generations of our own bloodlines allows us to know so much more than simply what we see in the dog standing in front of us. We know her lineage, her family’s health history, genetic background, temperaments, and the wonderful qualities that have been passed down through generations. There is something incredibly rewarding about raising a dog whose family history you know so well. We have had the opportunity to watch these bloodlines develop over the years, and that gives us a level of familiarity and confidence in our breeding decisions that means so much to our program. Missy is such a beautiful example of the Australian Shepherd breed, both inside and out. She carries herself in the most beautiful manner. There is an elegance about her, a quiet confidence and natural grace that makes her so special. She has such a lovely presence without ever needing to be demanding or overbearing. But as beautiful as she is on the outside, her temperament is what we love most about her. Missy has the sweetest, kindest disposition. She is incredibly friendly, affectionate, and enjoys being around people. She absolutely adores our family and wants nothing more than to be included in whatever we are doing. Whether we are working around the farm, tending to the animals, spending time outside, or simply relaxing, Missy is right there beside us. She doesn’t need to be the center of attention. She is perfectly content just being part of our day and knowing she is close to the people she loves. That is one of the qualities I treasure most about Australian Shepherds....their unwavering loyalty and the incredible bond they develop with their families. Missy embodies that beautifully. To us, Missy is so much more than a beautiful Australian Shepherd. She represents generations of careful breeding, thoughtful decisions, and the temperament qualities we have worked so hard to preserve. We don’t breed simply for beautiful markings or pretty puppies. We breed for the entire dog..... health, genetics, temperament, intelligence, and the ability to be a wonderful lifelong companion. Missy is a beautiful reflection of those priorities, and we couldn’t be more proud to have her as part of our family and our breeding program. She is everything we love about this breed, wrapped up in one incredibly special girl.

"Stryker" is such a good boy and absolutely GORGEOUS! Stryker has that kind, submissive personality about him and is so respectful. Even though he gets used as a breeder, he never gets distracted by the girls and always stays focused on us, in fact, we have to encourage him to show them attention, lol. He's such a gentle natured dog and puts that sweetness in his pups. Stryker is your typical aussie where he will never ever leave your property (or your side) we always call them our "Gentle Gaurdians!" We travel a lot to horse shows so gone many weekends in a month. We have the luxury of living very rural so all the dogs can be out while we are gone on our 30 acre property. We never ever have to worry about any one of them straying, they all hold vigil and just wait patiently until we get back and it's always "Stryker" that's the first to greet us. Stryker loves working with us on the farm and goes from lot to lot, step for step helping us check fences, feed horses, water all the outside livestock and turn them in and out. When cleaning stalls, instead of going off doing his thing he goes stall to stall with us. It just shows his loyalty and devotion to us but I've never had an Aussie that wasn't deeply bound to you. Stryker is so impressive in looks, loyalty and kindness that it's an easy pick when we decide who to cross with some of our girls. You will love seeing his qualities shine through in any one of his pups!! Stryker is one special dog!!

"Stitch" is second generation 3/W pup and what a GORGEOUS boy he is! "Stitch" is our fun loving, ball catching, dock diving, water loving boy that is our shadow (but all our aussies are!) We have a horse training facility so we work outside all day long. Stitch is always right there with us step for step helping us, he don't miss anything and never leaves our side. Stitch is such a kind boy and greets everyone that comes visits the place and most of the time will hog the attention and sit right in your lap, he has such a funny and cute personality and just LOVE how loyal he is. The minute he loses sight of us he has his nose to the ground and will find us. This is an aussie trait, they are 100% your shadow and incredibly devoted! We breed for temperament and purpose and Stitch is just like his Daddy, "Tucker".....they aren't high energy and have great "off switches" and total snuggle bears and couch potatoes when inside. We have held back Stitch babies to continue his line, he is everything you could possibly want in an Aussie and proud to continue his lineage.
