About Amble
✨HJ's Takin' It All In Stride ~"Amble"✨ •AKC®/ASCA Eligible 🩻OFA: HIPS: Fair ✅ ELBOWS: Normal ✅ 👩🏻🔬🧬GENETIC TRAIT AND DISEASE RESULTS POSTED! Oh Amble!! I just love you 🥹❤️ My "Bestest Boy" (yes, all my boys are my bestest! 😉) Amble is one of two pups that we held back from Briar and Grizz's 04-30-24 Litter. He and his sister, Saga, were added to our lineup now that their OFA's have been completed. He is one of our upcoming Sires and Dams that will be producing smaller Aussies that will range 25-40 pounds and stands ~16-17 inches. Amble is 45 pounds and stands at 18 inches. I cannot express the words to describe just how GOOD this boy is! 🙌🏻 I have ZERO regrets about keeping this boy. NONE. Trust your gut! This is one of the areas that you don't want to have any regrets about in wishing you had held back a puppy in your litter... Too many look at females and disregard males out of misconceptions or just being straight up wrong about the amazing temperaments and dispositions that they may possess. Ruling out a male because you worry they "may mark" is putting a limit to the potential to have one of the most outstanding Aussies you will EVER. OWN. Period.👏🏻 If I see a male possessing qualities that surpass a female that on paper would be a perfect keeper for my Program, I make room for that male and adjust my Program around that boy. Families miss out completely on male pups if they avoid them thinking they are harder to train, not as "smart", or will hump your leg on a whim. 🤦🏻♀️ This breed is not gender specific in who will be your "It" dog. I have males here who have it more put together and can out perform, are easier to train, and run circles in every aspect around more than half of my females. It frustrates me just as much to see males passed over based on their gender as it does to see Tris and Bis passed over for Merles. 😑 I'm thankful for my awesome boys, MY BESTEST BOYS!...and especially this fella ❤️ Amble is medium drive with amazing athletic ability. I call him Tigger, because he can jump like he is a spring, higher than any of my others! He is impressive to watch as we run over our course and he takes jumps with such ease (straight up at that 😂) He is light on his feet, gliding on air when he runs, and almost has Mouse and Saga beat on speed. 😊 He is his Father's son, being one of the gentlest males I have! He and I bonded day one, and I knew he was mine and I was his. Grizz has made me some of the BEST ALL AROUND PUPPIES IN MY PROGRAM. Amble is the perfect representation of what Grizz stamps into his pups. As is his half brother and new Sire, Quill. He is biddable, is not dominant or assertive with my other males and dogs, wants to be everyone's best friend, and thinks the world only revolves because I am in it!🥺 Amble has been a mentor to puppies on the farm from the time he was 9 months old, and continues to nurture all of our babies born on the Farm. ❤️ We are extremely excited to share this boy with all of you, and continue the lines that make HJ's dogs so amazing!

About Lore
✨HJ's UnTold Story ~ "Lore" ✨ AKC® 🩻OFA: HIPS: Good ✅ ELBOWS: Normal ✅ •NBT 👩🏻🔬🧬GENETIC TRAIT AND DISEASE RESULTS POSTED! Lore is our home grown, Black Bi Dam out of our Sire, Oakley, and now retired Dam, Journee. She has been raised up here on the Farm and has proven to be one of our most agile and intelligent girls in the Pack! She has the goofy, silly side of her Dad with the brains and agility of her Mom 💗 She is a medium sized standard, weighing 55 pounds and standing 21 inches. She has a longer body than her Dad, who is shorter and stockier in build, but has his coat instead of the curly coat of her Momma. 😊She is medium drive and energy, with a love for all things agility and climbing (just like her Mom 🥰) She is always happy go lucky with just the right amount of confidence to not be stubborn or overly independent, yet isn't overwhelming or demanding to be the center of attention. She is eager to please, loving and affectionate, and can be content just being with us, not doing anything or going full bar working in the woods and on the property. She was extremely ornery as a puppy, and would outsmart me most days and taught me more than I taught HER 😂 She loves being brushed more than being petted, even grabbing my hand to let me know she wants to be brushed. 😁She likes to pick up toys or random items lying around and carries them to us to get our attention so we will make a fuss 🤭 She is the epitome of all things Oakley - meaning full of personality and goofy clowning around antics, while possessing the intelligence and critical thinking of her Mom. We are thrilled to be able to keep Oakley and Journee's lineage going through her! She is paired with Quill, (HJ's Beacon In the Dark) who is out of our Grizz x Merit. They produced well rounded, highly versatile, intelligent, biddable, conformational correct pups that will be the perfect additions to any family❤️

About Coata
✨HJ's Coat of Arms~"Coata"✨ •AKC®/ASCA® 🩻OFA's: HIPS - Excellent ✅ ELBOWS - Normal ✅ 🧬👩🏻🔬GENETIC TRAIT AND DISEASE RESULTS POSTED! Coats is another one of our larger Sire's here at HJ's Aussies. Standing at 23", he and Grizz are two of the largest Aussies in our Program. He may be big, but he is a GENTLE giant! He loves to greet guests and thinks he is a lap dog. He's a favorite of many that have come to our home, with his outstanding good looks and being extremely friendly and social. He is medium to high drive, with a strong prey drive. He is always patrolling the property and chasing squirrels up trees. He has produced phenomenal pups with our Dams- Lily, and Rivet. His puppies are as outgoing and as social as he is, not to mention equally as gorgeous!

About Grizz
✨HJ's Rigged Out Red Bear~Grizz✨ •AKC®/ASCA® 🩻OFA's: HIPS - Excellent ✅ ELBOWS - Normal ✅ 🧬👩🏻🔬GENETIC TRAIT AND DISEASE RESULTS POSTED! Grizz is our minimal white, deep liver Red Bi primary Stud here at HJ's. He has produced some of our most popular and gorgeous puppies, with his amazing gentleness and strong devotion to "Mom" being a strong trait passed on to his offspring. This boy is huge! Standing at almost 24" and roughly 75 pounds. But don't let his size fool you! He is my gentle giant of a baby, and has been my heart dog from day one! His massive size is equally matched by his massive heart.

About Leva
✨HJ's Leave a Mark~"Leva"✨ •AKC®/ASCA Eligible 🩻OFA's: HIPS - Excellent ✅ ELBOWS - Normal ✅ 🧬👩🏻🔬GENETIC TRAIT AND DISEASE RESULTS POSTED! Leva is our homegrown girl from the Briggs x Grizz, March 2022 Litter. This girl is THICK! She has the body and build like her Daddy, Grizz, standing 24" and weighing 75 pounds. She is a mix of both of her parents, in that she is gentle and submissive (she could take any of these guys down if she wanted but would never even think about doing that) like Grizz, but can be a little timid and reserved like her Momma to new people, and environments. She is such a sweet natured and laid back dog that if it weren't for her size I would forget that she were in the room with me! Lol She is low to medium drive like her Dad, and doesn't get worked up about anything. Her markings always have her looking like she's got the "Joker Grin" going on...which fits her pleasant disposition to a T! She towers over most of my other females, making them look like minis in comparison, with a massive head and blocky build. If you love large Aussies? She's the total package!

About Rivet
✨Clover Hill Can't Take My Eyes Away ~"Rivet"✨ •AKC®/ASCA Eligible 🩻OFA's: HIPS - Fair ✅ ELBOWS - Normal ✅ 🧬👩🏻🔬GENETIC TRAIT AND DISEASE RESULTS POSTED! Rivet is our Minimal White Red Tri, Genetically cleared through Parentage Dam here at HJ's Aussies. She is entirely a Momma's Girl, and is always right by my side on our pack hikes. 🙂 She and her Sister, Briar, are my smallest Aussies, averaging 35 pounds and standing roughly 19". She is medium high working line with a strong scent drive. She is very leery of strangers and prefers her family over socializing with guests. She has a very gentle disposition and super quiet! She and her daughter, Halo, can easily sneak up on you without your knowing it! 🤣 She prefers lounging in the house where she can keep a close eye on me, and loves her crate!

About Ryder
✨HJ's Majestic Ryder~"Ryder"✨ •AKC® 🧬👩🏻🔬GENETIC TRAIT AND DISEASE RESULTS POSTED! Ryder is a bi blue merle, with minimal white. Of all my dogs, she is the only one that doesn't get overly "worked up" and stays calm no matter what the situation. She is quiet, but silly! She will grin at me when she knows she's done something she shouldn't have, and is an amazing mother to ALL puppies we have on the Farm! She is athletic and jumps fences with ease! She is extremely gentle, very affectionate, and is not overly energetic. ☺️ She is low to medium drive, making her ideal for producing family friendly puppies that will be content being with their family just chilling on the couch. Not to mention she's GORGEOUS!! 😉🤩 She just had her last litter, and will be officially retired this Fall 🍁

About Lily
✨HJ's Enduring Legacy ~Lily✨ •AKC®/ASCA Eligible 🩻OFA's: HIPS - Excellent ✅ ELBOWS - Normal ✅ 🧬👩🏻🔬GENETIC TRAIT AND DISEASE RESULTS POSTED! Lily is our homegrown girl from our Briggs x Grizz, March 2022 Litter. This girl has the best of both lines, with ★Boyd's Ranch, Pincie Creek, Certik Bertik, Hangin Tree and FairOaks to name a few! She was formerly placed but was returned and is now enjoying life as a permanent member of the HJ's pack. She is as sweet natured as she looks! She has a more timid and reserved disposition and will submit instantly if she feels she has offended. She is long and tall like her parents, with a nice wavy coat like Dad. Standing at 22" and weighing 65 pounds, she is one of our larger Standard Dams. She only gets after her sister, Leva, from the same litter, but immediately stops when corrected. She loves being a pampered house dog and always comes back and "checks in" on me during our hikes. We have loved having her back in the pack, and look forward to future endeavors together. She was paired with our Sire, Relic, to produce very versatile, biddable and beautiful pups that even make for amazing ESA prospects, that are the perfect blend of both parents.

About Teddy
"Teddy" ~ 4Feathers Treadin' Dreams at HJ's AKC®/ASCA Eligible 🩻OFA's: HIPS - Excellent ✅ ELBOWS - Normal ✅ 🧬👩🏻🔬GENETIC TRAIT AND DISEASE RESULTS POSTED! Teddy is our Sire, direct from 4Feathers. He has delegated himself to be my personal bodyguard and is always found lurking in the background, watching over me at all times on our pack hikes 😁 He is extremely loving and devoted with amazing recall. He is my shortest male here at the Farm, but has assumed a leadership position with his guardian role over me and my family. He is social, outgoing, curious, and has just the right amount of drive to not be highstrung. He likes light agility but his preference is chasing and tracking. His herding drive is medium, which works well for us as we do not move livestock on a daily basis. He is roughly 20" and weighs 45 pounds. His coat is moderate, and when in, gives him a much larger appearance than he is. ❤️ He is paired with L.E. and Leva, and will be a Sire on future litters from my upcoming females 🙂

About Quill
✨ Quill ~ AKC ~ Clear Genetics✨ • AKC® 🩻OFA's: HIPS - Excellent ✅ ELBOWS - Normal ✅ 🧬👩🏻🔬GENETIC TRAIT AND DISEASE RESULTS POSTED! Quill is our homegrown boy from our ✨Merit x Grizz, 12/26/23 Litter✨ He was originally placed to a family that requested we raise and train him past the puppy stage. Once it was the suitable time for him to go, they decided they did not want him. Their loss? Became one of the biggest gains I've had here in my Program! 🏆 I kept this boy under wraps. 😁 After seeing how he was developing, I chose to work on basic agility and continued his training. After I realized what an amazing boy he was, I chose NOT to open him up for consideration to the public. Instead, we waited and prayed for his OFA evaluations to go the way we hoped. 🙌🏻 🙏🏻 To say we were ecstatic with his results after the year we had last year, was an understatement! 😅😂❤️ He passed with flying colors!! 🎉 A Little About Quill: This boy is his Daddy, Grizz, through and through! 🥹❤️ (For those of you who have a Grizz baby, you will understand this completely!) He is not as big as his Daddy, but took all of that giant heart, and packed it into a more suitable, breed standard size ☺️😉 He is ~65 pounds (thicker in the winter 🧥🙃) and stands 21". He is my love bug. A gentle boy that literally holds my hand with his mouth when I walk, and has grabbed my sleeves and pulled to keep me from leaving 😂❤️ He is medium drive and energy, with the perfect blend of versatility to be athletic (per the vid) with just enough herding aspects to not be overly driven. He is not timid, skittish, or reserved but is also not overbearing. He is not dominant, but will also stand up for himself. He is submissive to me and my family, without trying to assert himself over anyone or the other dogs. He focuses intently on me and only cares about what I'm doing, not the others around him. He will try to resource guard his food from the other dogs, but immediately stops when corrected. He is biddable, eager to please, loves his Momma, and would sit in my lap permanently if I would let him. 😂 He has a gorgeous, thick, full coat; and a tiny brown "chip" in his blue eye that melts my heart when he looks at me 🥹 I have loved raising this boy, and cannot wait to share him with all of you, so you can grow to love him like we do! 🥹🥰 (Some of you have loved him all along 😉) We are so excited to be adding him to our breeding lineup this year!! 👏🏻👏🏻☺️ We will announce his upcoming pairing(s), to the Page. ❤️❤️ His first litter was with Lore, and they did not disappoint! Quill's OFA Reports, Genetic Coat and Disease Testing, Pedigree, and Proof of Registration are shared in this Album. ☺️

About Mouse
💥Mouse ~ HJ's Hidden Gem💥 •AKC®/ASCA Eligible 🩻OFA's : HIPS - Good✅ ELBOWS - Normal✅ 🧬👩🏻🔬GENETIC TRAIT AND DISEASE RESULTS POSTED! •NBT "Mouse", our homegrown pup out of our beloved Amp, and now retired, Briggs ❤️ This petite black beauty is lovingly nicknamed, "Black Fox", by our oldest son 🥰 She was the smallest of her litter, hence the name "Mouse" 🥰😁 She is one of the most athletic of our pack, with outstanding agility skills and speed that is unmatched 🏃🏻♀️💨 She is an independent gal that is first to run ahead of the pack on our hikes, yet is also first to return when her name is called. 😁 She is one of our smaller kids here, standing at 18" and weighing 35 pounds. She inherited her Daddy's coat, along with that natural stack that makes your heart skip 🥹 (his pics are located in the Albums on our FB Page) She was passed over and not chosen from her litter, and has spent her days on the Farm enjoying learning basic agility, tossing my flower pots around like they are herding balls 🫣🤣(past video shared to the Page), being spoiled by the boys, chasing critters on our hikes, and wiggling that rump 100 mph 😂❤️ She is loving but not overbearing, independent but not elusive. She is not overly interested in strangers and just ignores their presence. She is not dominant but stands up for herself if picked on. She gets along great with the pack, and adapts to new situations without shutting down. Gradual and calm introductions, with a few Slim Jim's and she's good to go!! 😁 We offered her to the public after getting her past the puppy stage, and when no interest was expressed we opted to hold onto her after her Dad passed away, in hopes she would be able to continue his legacy here on the Farm. 🙏🏻 To say we were thrilled that she passed her Evals, is an understatement! 😃🎉👏🏻 May this be a testament that sometimes the pups that the public turns away and dismisses, grow into "hidden gems" 😉😍 We are looking forward to raising future lil Amp's all over again, through her and her niece, Henny. 🥹❤️ Her Pedigree, OFA Reports, and Proof of Registration are shared in this post, under her Album. Her Disease and Coat Testing results are pending, and will be posted once they are available. (You can view her parents' Test Results, OFA Reports, and Pedigrees in their Albums on our FB Page) Mouse will be paired with our boy, Relic, on her next heat cycle ☺️

He is a "momma's boy" and is never too far from my side. 😊 He prefers to play over fighting for dominance, and will be found on the bottom of an all female wrestling pile up CONSTANTLY. 😂 He is VERY ornery and playful, but not destructive...super friendly and gentle as well. Highly social and the life of the party. Extremely intelligent and intuitive. He is almost human in the way he interacts and engages with us ❤️ His puppies have been some of the most popular of all of our litters 🙂 This fella is the total package. ⭐❤️

She is a happy go lucky girl who gets a full case of the wiggles when she is excited and happy. She is short in length and stocky like her Momma, Merit, and takes all of her traits and beauty to match! Standing 21" and weighing 60#, she is thick in all the right places! She avoids chaos and prefers to be by herself rather than in a pack. She is not dominant and likes to wrestle her Mom and puppies.

About Relic
✨Relic ~ HJ's Esteemed Remnant✨ AKC® 🩻OFA's: HIPS - Excellent ✅ ELBOWS - Normal ✅ 🧬👩🏻🔬GENETIC TRAIT AND DISEASE RESULTS POSTED! Relic is our homegrown boy out of our now retired Bleu, to Miss Rivet ❤️ He is a minimal Blue Merle, with minimal white, standing ~21" now that he has reached maturity, and weighs 55 pounds. His beauty is equally matched by his amazing temperament and disposition! 😍 I almost let this boy slip through my hands! He was open to the public and was still available for placement at 7 weeks of age. The thought of letting the only piece of Bleu go from the Farm was too much to bear, so we removed him from consideration, and the rest is history! 😃☺️ He has all of the qualities of his Daddy - with that gentle, OLD SOUL, loving temperament that makes your heart melt 🥹🫠 He has not been as interested in Agility, but has tolerated light training for a high value reward and being told he is the bestest boy 😁 He prefers being at my feet waiting to be petted, being groomed and playing chase along the fence with the girls on the other side 🙂 He is medium drive with medium energy (he rarely gets worked up about anything and stays calm under most every situation) and doesn't know a stranger 🥰☺️ We are so excited for him to take over the role his Daddy held for years, and to continue Bleu's legacy ongoing ❤️ He will be paired with Lily, and Mouse (pending her Disease Testing deems them compatible) on each of their next heat cycles 😃 His Pedigree, Disease and Coat Testing, OFA's, and proof of Registration are shared in this post for his Album ✅

About Nuggs
This beautiful Blue-Eyed, Minimal White Black Tri Dam comes all the way from Idaho! She was worth every minute of that long drive to get her! She's short and sweet, with a loving low-key disposition. She is low to medium drive, with just enough grit to get after it when she needs to! She is laid back and doesn't try to be the center of attention. She will approach strangers but doesn't overly concern herself with them and just focuses on her family. She is ALWAYS as close to the kids as possible when we are all outside, and will be right by their side at all times as as if she is watching over them. This very quiet, laid back girl is one of my most versatile Aussies. She is not dominant but doesn't let herself get run over by the other girls either. She is a smaller Aussie, standing at 19" and weighing 45 pounds. Pups are expected to be small to mid sized standards. Her frame is nice and solid, not overly thick boned but also not petite like working lines typically can be. Her Coat is Moderate with the perfect amount of feathers. 🥰 She is one of my best all around girls here at the Farm!
