Australian Shepherd
About Shadow
Shadow is a standard size, blue merle Australian Shepherd female with one blue eye and one brown eye. She gets lots of complements on how pretty she is. Shadow is on the smaller side of standard, standing at only 18 inches tall. Most of her puppies have grown to be between 18 and 20 inches at the withers. She is the calmest dog ever. She rarely barks and is never in a hurry. She's great around farm animals and all of the chickens on our chicken farm. She will herd when commanded, but prefers to watch and gently guide animals to where they need to be. She enjoys working around the farm and is always by her human's side at all times. She is ready to go every morning. When not working, she thinks she's a lap dog. She will do anything for a treat and hugs. Shadow is the best mother of any dog we've ever had. She's attentive, sweet, gentle, and protective. We couldn't ask for anything else out of her. She is also trained as a service dog and does well in just about every situation from busy shopping centers to college lecture halls. Shadow is dual AKC/ASCA registered, genetically-tested, and has her DNA on file with the ASCA.

About Lucky
Lucky is a standard size, red tri, Australian Shepherd. He is a family dog through and through. He loves his people, especially his little humans. His favorite thing in the world is butt scratches and never-ending pets on the head. He is very athletic. He's great at catching frisbees, playing in water, and maneuvering obstacles. But when he's not running everyone ragged, he enjoys being his 8-year old human brother's pillow and keeping his owner warm while working underneath old classic cars. That's why his favorite place to be is in the shop. Lucky has a lot of experience herding chickens and no chicken gets out of their enclosures when he's on watch. Lucky is dual AKC/ASCA registered, genetically-tested, and has his DNA on file with the ASCA.
