Meet the dogs...
Our dogs come from established Australian Shepherd working lines, including Hart II, Slash V, Twin Oaks, and Andrews. Kathy's first Aussie was by one of Norm Andrews' dogs (from Slash V and Hangin' Tree bloodlines) and sparked her love for the breed. Our current dogs and breeding program reflect the qualities of that first dog -- brains, heart, dignity, athleticism, and innate stock sense. We choose breeding pairs that possess these traits and strive to produce pups that are useful partners for their owners. To date, our pups are on farms and ranches in Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, Colorado, Missouri, and Montana.
