Frying Pan Ranch Australian Shepherds

After a long search, we were able to find this handsome gentleman in Montana at a ranch that shares our emphasis on authentic Australian Shepherd lineages. Even as a puppy, his rockstar personality has assured us he was worth the wait. Gus has a quiet confidence about him and is a friend to all, human and animal. One look into his dreamy blue eyes will sweep you off your feet. His willingness to learn, desire to please and stocky build make Gus an ideal working and family dog. He has proven himself by siring litters with remarkable versatility and adaptability. We are thrilled to welcome Gus into our "herd" through our partnership with Loutzenhiser Cattle Company. Gus' pedigree is heavily influenced by two Hall of Fame Kennels: Twin Oaks and Windmill and he directly descends from 8 Hall of Fame Dogs.

Opal is a female Australian Shepherd. Carefully selected as a great representative of her breed, Dr. Lora decided to make her part of their program. Dr. Lora has passed Good Dog’s screening process, which involved a review of their breeding practices, environment, and the mental and physical health of their dogs.

Decker represents the 4th generation of solid Frying Pan Ranch breeding choices and it shows. He is calm, gentle, affectionate and exceptionally cuddly while maintaining the herding instinct and intelligence we strive for. He has inherited the stocky bone and flashy coat of his father, Rooney and well as the balance and athletic build of his mother, Quincy. We are expecting his first litter of pups in 2024.

Named after an influential Red Angus cow, AbiGrace is a welcome addition to the ranch. With cow sense and an abundance of sass, Abi lives life to the fullest, working hard, playing hard, and loving hard. Although gaining her trust takes some effort, once you're part of her circle, she's a great cuddle and eager to please. Her watchful eye and protective instincts keep unwanted critters at bay, and even as a puppy, Abi fearlessly explored and adventured on her own. She gets along well with other ranch dogs, but is just as content being independent and doing her own thing. Abi's smaller frame and stocky build, combined with her dark red coat and flashy copper trim, make her a standout on the ranch. We're excited to announce that her first litter is expected in 2023.
