"Finn is an extremely confident, biddable, rock-solid dog who loves everyone and everything. Finn truly has a temperament to die for, and makes us laugh constantly. He is quite the clown. He can go into any situation without issues or any signs of fear. He lives to please which is also what makes him such a perfect partner in sports and life. He's a workaholic and will work for me all day, never giving up, but is very resilient if he makes a mistake and is willing to try over and over again. He settles fabulously when it is time. The best thing about him is that not only is Finn successful in all he does but he truly loves all of it and has so much fun no matter what he is doing while always smiling in the process. (Agility, barn hunt, dock diving, scent work, frisbee, fastcat, etc). In conformation he achieved all his majors in ASCA, and is finished in both IABCA and UKC. Finn is the smartest dog I’ve ever known. He loves to learn and understands everything you say to him. He learns things instantaneously and is a pleasure to train and live with. He carries moderate coat and has moderate bone. Finn has a lovely extremely efficient balanced side gait and converges well in the front. He has beautiful balanced angles with a very strong top line, good shoulders with nice layback and length of neck and a lovely headpiece and ear set. He has a very athletic lean muscular body built for sports. He’s a bomb proof dog with high drive and is a very stable dog with all the biddability, drive, intelligence and desire you could ever ask for while also being hilarious and with a great off switch. He has sired 6 litters with the 6th born November of 2021, and 3 of the pups from that litter went for service dog placements. He seems to pass a lot of his brains, confidence, and work ethic on to his offspring as the older ones are all excelling in multiple venues already and the younger ones are learning things at rapid rates."

About Us
Aussies are part of the family!
We brought home our first aussies in 1995 straight off a working cattle ranch. While the breed has changed a bit since then our aussies now are the direct descendants of those original cattle dogs.
Champions of Versatility
We have done quite a bit of showing in the past in 4-H, AKC and ASCA and are proud that so many youth have done well with our dogs. They still have enough of the old time sense to make excellent versatility and farm dogs in addition to excelling at all kinds of performance events. Our lines have produced everything from service dogs to working farm dogs to Agility Trial Champions and the #1 Ranked Aussie at Dock Dogs Worlds in 2016.
Health Tested
Our aussies have both Hips and Elbows certified clear by the OFA and eyes are cleared by a certified veterinary opthamolgist as well as genetic testing to ensure they are clear of common hereditary eye problems and the MDR1 drug sensitivity gene.
