Our puppies include red merle, blue merle, black tri-color, and red tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?

Litter and program updates
Kristina D.
Litter update on 30 June •…We're 4 weeks old and what have we been up to? Oh all the fun! We had experienced water on our little tiny paws for the first time. We are eating three to four meals a day. Mama has already started weaning us. We're hearing lots of new sounds. For example, fire engines parades, thunderstorms, fireworks and also wonderful classical music. We have almost all our teeth! Today we are having meaty bones! We go on field trips to different parts of the house and we start running as soon as we have all the open space. We are soliciting human attention constantly. We learned how to take a treat from your hand. We love to snuggle and be picked up. Grandma Summer visited us and we really enjoyed that. She's super playful and we can't wait to have her play with us all the time. Even though we are littermates, we all have very different personalities and sometimes some of us are sleepy and then the other times someone wants to play and then pounces on the sleepy one and then all chaos ensues! We also found our voices! We will come to kissy sounds or whistling and we get very excited about it.

Australian Shepherd
About Dublin
Dublin is a copy/paste of her dad, Potter! She has the same "I can go anywhere and do anything" temperament and is an amazing companion and performance dog. We love that Dublin has a serious side to her when it comes to working. She is all business until her job is done whether herding, putting her sheep up in the evening, dock diving, or scent work! She also has a nice "off switch" when needed. Having this balance is a priority in our program and having it at a young age is awesome! In the pool she is the clean up girl! If any toy is left floating she, without being told, jumps in to retrieve it!

About Potter
Potter is the perfect companion! He can do it all. If you want to take him with you to a cookout, you can. He loves children. He enjoys frisbee or ball and will always be ready to play! Potter grew up for his first 6mo of life in Washington state, he was around children, farm animals and many other dogs. He is easy to snuggle and loves his belly rubbed. He's smart and loves swimming, really all water sports! Potter is still working on his AKC Championship and holds titles in Dock diving, Hyrdodash, Barnhunt, Trick dog and more. He has had all his health tests completed along with a full DNA profile.

Verified owner · Aug. 2024
We are so in love with our happy & healthy pup! Working with Kristina was an amazing experience - we never doubted her care for her dogs or integrity of her breeding. She remained a great resource for us as we adjusted to having Millie home and I know I can still reach out to her to this day with any questions. Aussies are a very special breed. Kristina will be sure to help you decide if one is right for you. I especially appreciated being matched with a pup based on our lifestyle rather than the dog’s physical appearance. This is so much more important and helps ensure a match that will last for years to come. Thank you Kristina for our best girl!
