Hammer Aussies meets or exceeds our community standards in these areas:

Australian Shepherd
About Truck
Truck is a very handsome stud dog. We couldn't be more proud to own him. He has the most mild temperament too. You would never even know he was an intact male... He is our kids guardian dog on the far. Wherever they go he is right by their side. He is very loving and sweet and kind with other dogs. He is the best family dog a family could have and I know he will pass that on to his offspring. He is super smart and always eager to please us. His conformation is perfection for the breed.
