Astro, dad
Australian Shepherd
About Astro
My bubbly, happy go lucky boy ❤️ Astro is out of the Czech Republic and we couldn’t be more excited to see how he matures - so far he has fit seamlessly into our program and has settled beautifully into his guardian home. Nothing can keep this boy down, he loves to love, a good game of tug of war and to be with his people.

We couldn’t be happier with this girl! She’s more of your typical Aussie - driven, athletic, focused (especially if there’s food involved) and LOVES her people. She has moved to a guardian who she absolutely adores and fit seamlessly into their home.

This girl is a super chill teddy bear, she just wants her butt scratched and to be loved on as much as possible.

She has a solid pedigree filled with programs we love which is why I picked her and I am so happy we did!
