Gemfire Australian Shepherds

Fayte is a sweet boy with a correct reserved temperament and a working mind that consistently amazes me with his ability to figure things out. He is smart as a whip and sometimes that backfires - staying ahead of him is a task! He spent the first half of 2025 with a handler getting some show training and miles under him, and I'm excited to bring him out for 2026! Fayte has not been bred and is only getting started in his show career. He has had clear eye exams and his DNA panel. Hips and elbows are pending, he is NOT standing at this time.

Phoenyx is an amazing boy, with a phenomenal temperament. He handles every situation confidently, and always with a smile! He has that big happy Aussie grin that looks up at you as if to say, “Wasn’t that fun?!” He is always ready to go, but never in a hurry - he’s perfectly content to bed rot an entire season of Paw Patrol with his kiddo, and he takes payment in cookies please. 😂 When it’s time to work he’s all business, focused and attentive. He excels as a service dog and is frequently in public as a breed ambassador. He loves everybody equally, unless you have cookies, then YOU are his favorite. Typical boy, the quickest way to his heart is his stomach! 🤣 He would give you the keys to the car, and plug home into the GPS for you if he thought he would get a steak out of it! 👀🤦🏻‍♀️ Phoenyx is available and standing at stud to approved dams, located in Indiana.

Sa’Fyre is a lovely snuggle bug with a sweet disposition. She is quiet and calm, preferring to hang out with her people. She’s an equal opportunity student, and she works for either cookies or a good scratch behind the ears! She’s no-nonsense and likes to be right (hey, the dog!) 😂 She’s got a lot of herding instinct and was used frequently to keep the chickens where they belonged when I still had birds. She loves dock diving, and will hopefully be completing some jumps this summer! She will also be completing some other titles this summer after she is done with puppies, including her CGC and TKN. She is excellent in public both on and off leash, and is also frequently seen in public as a breed ambassador! I am excited to get her into some events and see how she does!

Draco is my foundation male, and while sadly he is no longer with us, his progeny live on here, happy and healthy! I am proud to have him as the cornerstone of my program! Draco is one of the most loving, happy and enthusiastic boys that I have ever had the pleasure of living with. He is exuberant, pushy, and drivey, with a decent off switch that you sometimes have to go looking for. 🤣🫣 He is steady and calm on sheep and ducks, but agility defeats him, because - don’t you see all those FANS OUT THERE CHEERING FOR HIM?! THEY ARE IMPORTANT!! 🤣🤣 He preferred to say hi to everyone and never knew a stranger! He loved the dock, and was affectionally dubbed the “Duck Dog” because we always found him in his water bowl! 😂 While Draco is no longer with us, I have many frozen breedings available on him, so he remains listed as active! He is available at stud to approved dams via frozen breeding ONLY!

Phoebe is one of the most gentle, laid back girls you will ever come across. She declared herself my SDiT at about 6 weeks old, and there was no looking back. There was never any question of whether she was staying, she made that plain.🥹 She is the last remaining dog in my house that was raised by Taz. She shadowed him, like she knew she had to learn it all and FAST. By the time he was gone when she was only 6 months old, she was already fully tasking, and by 9 months was public access. She was a natural. She has been shown in AKC conformation and has several very nice reserves to majors in extremely limited showing. She is also trained and almost ready to compete for her rally, obedience, and agility novice titles. She has been held back due to a lack of available classes and trials in our previous area, but I am very excited to be back in an area where we can start working on those titles instead of just training for them!🤪 Not only is she beautiful and intelligent, she is calm, handler focused, has an excellent off switch, and she has high food drive with medium toy drive and medium energy. She is extremely praise-driven, and has no problem switching tasks.🤩 When she’s not in work mode, she’s a goofy, silly snuggle bug who prefers to lounge in the bed and trip you on your way to the bathroom. She firmly believes that personal space is overrated! 🤣 Phoebe is incredible with kids, cats, other dogs, she gets along with everything and everyone. 🥰

Taz was my amazing do it all and go everywhere dog. He is one of my two foundation males, and has contributed immensely to my program, but most importantly he was my best friend. Sadly, I lost him in March of 2021, just before his 11th birthday, due to complications from mast c3ll tumors. Taz did everything - rally, obedience, herding, conformation, agility, and he was my public access service dog for over half of his life. He has produced offspring and grand offspring that have gone on to multiple titles in multiple divisions, as well as multiple service and therapy dogs. I am so incredibly proud of the legacy he has left behind. While Taz may no longer be with us, I do have several frozen breedings saved on him, which is why he is still listed as an active stud dog.

Winifred, fondly known as “Winnie”, is one of those one-owner dogs. You know the one, where the owner just gushes about this amazing dog that they have, and then you get to meet it, and you think it’s absolutely nothing like described. 😅 One of those “either the dog is bipolar or the owner is delusional” type of situations. Well, I’m here to introduce you to them both! 🥳 For me, Winnie is hands down in the top 3 most invaluable dogs in my house. She is calm and quiet, laying around in bed or on the couch, or on the floor, just chilling. Kids screaming, cat walking past, tv blaring, other dogs stomping all around her, and she’s impervious. Ignores it all like she’s the Queen of Chaos with her nose in the air. Then a car door closes in the driveway and it’s not one she recognizes, so she’s immediately the first up sounding the alarm, lighting the bat signal, and preparing for DefCon5. 😂 She will protect her home, her kids, her kitty, her Chaos from all comers! 🤦🏻‍♀️ Put her in the kennel and bring her out on leash? Totally fine. This is normal. In public? Impeccable manners. Snobbish to the extreme. Will turn her back on lesser individuals. Refuses to make eye contact. Not fearful, but arrogant. Peasants are beneath her. For mom? She play bows, gives tiny baby whisper woofs, loves to play fetch, will swim for hours, and has the silliest, quirky personality. You just have to be part of the “in crowd” to get to meet that side of her. 🥰
