HJ's Aussies

💥Mouse ~ HJ's Hidden Gem💥 •AKC/ASCA Eligible •OFA's : HIPS - Good ELBOWS - Normal "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 ☺️

✨ Quill ~ AKC ~ Clear Genetics✨ OFA: Hips: EXCELLENT Elbows: NORMAL 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. ❤️❤️ Quill's OFA Reports, Genetic Coat and Disease Testing, Pedigree, and Proof of Registration are shared in this Album. ☺️

This AKC® girl is a show stopper! 🤩 Her deep blue tones and rich, heavy copper, with minimal white and piercing blue eyes has made her the favorite of Families and Followers of HJ's. L.E. is our homegrown pup out of the Merit x Grizz, May 2022 Litter. Her stunningly good looks is equally matched with her disposition. She is very timid and shy of new people and prefers the company of her Daddy, Grizz, over any other. 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 took all of her traits and beauty to match Standing 23" and weighing 68#, 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 Leva and Rally. Her coat is extra thick and full of the waves we all love, with all that heavy copper to die for!

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!

Lily is our homegrown girl from the 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 23" 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 is paired with our Red Merle Sire, Coata, to produce very versatile, beautiful, large standards, with the perfect blend of both parents.

Briar is one of our AKC/ASCA Eligible minimal white blue merle Dams. She is a sister to our Red Tri Dam, Rivet. She is one of my smallest standards, weighing 30-35 pounds and roughly 18". She has a herding drive with amazing focus, recall and desire to please. She has been trained to wear the GoPro and help record content for our YouTube Channel alongside one of my former pups we took back, Callie. She is extremely intelligent and has great athletic skills and speed. She has become one of my most devoted females. Her litters are medium standards, with medium drive with working line aspects.

Merit is our gorgeous blue merle with the POPPIN' copper She is as intelligent as she is beautiful! She is gf to Grizz, and loved by all! This gal is short and stocky and puts that nice thick bone into her pups as well! We are always smiling at this girl, and her love of sleeping with the heavy snoring that comes along with it 😂 She is low drive, being the laziest Aussie here on the Farm 🫣🙃 She doesn't like strangers and is only partial to us, and shows us her heart to love and will to please. Her random bursts of joy with enthusiastic butt wiggles cracks us up. ❤️ She throws not only heavy copper on pups, but an amazing temperament to boot! AKC, blue eye gene, heavy copper, rich deep merling, heavy on the fluff and loaded full of personality! She's as good as they get!

Oakley is a black bi, natural bobbed tail, BET, AKC® Sire at HJ's Aussies. He is NOT red factored. His pups are Black based Bi Merle's and Black Bis, with the majority of his pups having blue eyes; or one blue, one brown. He is the clown of our family, ALWAYS showing off and trying to get a laugh out of us. 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. ⭐❤️

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!

Ryder is a bi blue merle, with minimal white. Of all my dogs, she is the only one that doesn't get "worked up" and stays calm no matter what the situation. 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!! 😉🤩

Clover Hill Can't Take My Eyes Away ~ "Rivet" is our Minimal White Red Tri, Genetically cleared through Parentage Dam here at HJ's Aussies. She is entirely a Daddy's Girl, and can be found most evenings trying to lounge in the recliner with Poppsy. Lol She and her Sister, Briar, are my smallest Standards, averaging 35 pounds and standing roughly 19". She is medium to high drive 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 sticks very close by our sides on the hikes. She prefers lounging in the house over being outside and loves her crate.

Coata is our gorgeous AKC/ASCA solidly built, larger Standard Sire here at HJ's Aussies. Standing at 23" he and Grizz are 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!

Grizz is our gorgeous AKC/ASCAR 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 80 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.
