Hammer Aussies
Meet the breeder
I'm Derek & Amanda H., the breeder behind Hammer Aussies located in Oregon. We’re a small family breeder that cares about preserving the breed. Our dogs are a part of our family and are used on our ranch.
Q. & A. with Derek & Amanda
Why did you start breeding?
Both my husband and I got our first Aussie as young adults and we both fell in love with the breed. That love grew into us learning to breed and raise puppies to have the opportunity to share these lovely dogs with other families.What makes your program special?
We’re small, and put a lot of thought and care into our breeding dogs. They aren’t just breeding dogs, but they’re also our pets and family. They go with us on family trips and are used on the ranch. They get the best care in all aspects. We care about and prioritize our breeding dogs disposition as much as health and conformation.

Parent dogs
Truck, dad
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.
