and engage in a variety of competition venues.
Temperament:
Loyal, driven, and outgoing to be content among an active,
dedicated, loving family.

at ensuring our puppies live long, healthy lives.

"First and foremost, the Australian Shepherd is a true working stockdog,
and anything that detracts from his usefulness as such is undesirable.
The most important breed characteristics are overall moderation in size and bone,
balance with correct proportions, and sound movement."
