H3 Aussies
Meet the breeder
I'm Jennifer C., the breeder behind H3 Aussies located in Rusk, TX. Our farm would not operate as efficiently without our Aussies by our side. They're easily trainable, loyal, and have great stamina making them the best working dog. We know how crucial they are to our lives and want to provide the same opportunity to fellow farmers and working homes.
Q. & A. with Jennifer
Why did you start breeding?
After we got to experience all of the amazing qualities Australian Shepherds possess, we decided to provide that to others. We knew there were other working homes out there who could benefit from one of our Aussies and who were wanting to add a dog to the family so we decided to be that source. It has been such a joy and an adventure to experience raising puppies and finding their forever families!What makes your program special?
It is very important to us that we preserve the working history Aussies were bred for. In addition to their high drives, we make sure they adhere to breed standards and have the ideal temperament for a family and loving home. Our puppies are exposed to other species, young children, and farm equipment from a very young age making them able and ready to succeed in farm life and in the home.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

She makes sprinting ahead to turn a cow look effortless. Honey will work both ends but prefers heels. She compliments Gus perfectly creating a nice balance when working together. When she isn't working, she loves to watch over our children and our flock of laying hens. She will mother anything she gets a chance too including allowing the occasional barn kitten to nurse! She is more vary of strangers and is a one person type dog. She also has a great off switch and loves to cuddle on the couch with the kids & watch cartoons.

Australian Shepherd
About Gus
Gus is everything we have ever looked for in a dog and more. He is exceptionally sound minded and doesn't have an ounce of "back-down" when it comes to working a salty cow. He is quick and steadfast on cattle. He works with amazing natural ability and instincts needing little direction. He will work both ends but prefers to work heads. Gus's duties are not limited to working cattle. He also patrols the farm and has protected our cattle from numerous coyotes. He is a relentless guardian of all of the critters here including our children, chickens and the occasional newborn litter of barn kittens. He does steal the occasional fresh laid egg when he can. Gus is the all around perfect farm dog. He can turn off and relax in the house. He is always respectful of anything the belongs to "mom". He is the type of dog you can talk to like a human and he understands almost all of what you tell him. Gus' health testing includes the following: OFA Hips Good Clear for CEA, CD, CMR1, DM, HC, MDR1, prcd-PRA, Intestinal Cobalamin Malabsorption (aussie type) Carrier for Intestinal Cobalamin Malabsorption (border collie type)
Great health testing
