Australian Shepherds

family dogs of the highest quality possible

A LONG history in Dogs

Both Matt and Penny have a long history in breeding, showing, hunting, racing, and campaigning their dogs. Matt bred field bred Springer Spaniels in the 80's and 90's. Penny showed her Alaskan Malamutes under the 'POLESTAR' prefix across the USA & Canada over the same period with many Champions & Specialty winners to her credit. Showing dogs lends an appreciation for quality conformation and temperament. Hunting with field dogs forms an appreciation for function. Penny & Matt also raced their Alaskan sled dogs in the 90's with many top wins & placings. Truly, a love of dogs has been a part of their combined history. And our Australian Shepherds are bred with the same love and thoughtful attention to detail. We feel strongly that families shouldn't have to pay top prices for a family pet of the highest quality. We breed with families in mind!

The Moms

Our 35-40 lb girls are amazing, well mannered and fun female Aussies with a flair for life! They are great in the house, and will snooze at night while the family enjoys a peaceful evening. If you go outside, they are right there at your heels. Both have a strong herding instinct and have great conformation, nice coats, and lots of bone. Handsome and functional, we feel they are a great representation of the breed.

The Dad

Rusty is a gorgeous 50 lb Red Tri with beautiful copper cheeks. He loves his family, is fun loving, and lives to follow Matt around the farm. He is gentle with the puppies, and just the right amount of protective of his people. He loves people and his puppies are usually playful with gorgeous heads, tight feet, substantial bone, & plush coat. He really compliments the girls! And he's an amazing family pet.

Milli

Cajun is our farm greeter. She is a petite 40 lb female and has lovely coat and conformation. She is a generous, playful girl, but so well behaved you barely notice she is there! Cajun is now spayed and enjoying life as a couch potato.
Milli is our most outgoing girl. She and Rusty are BFF's and play and torment each other.   She's very clever, and a gorgeous blue eyed red merle!  Big bone, lovely coat, & pretty blue eyes. Milli's pups always have lots of coat and bone, gorgeous!
Bibi is a wonderful, bratty, snuggly girl. Bibi means' BB (Bad Baby) because she was such a pest when she was little. But so cute, you can't help but snuggle her. Bibi is Registered & never lets the others forget.

A SYMPHONY OF COLORS

Australian Shepherds are never boring! They come in a variety of colors. Have a look at these beauties, who are modelling their colors for you.  Every one of these dogs is owned, or was bred by us.  We love our Aussie colors! It’s hard to own only ONE Aussie!

FRIENDS FOR LIFE

Meet Buddy.  We miss this dog every day.  He was a gorgeous Red Tri  with minimal white.  He was the best dog we ever owned. He passed away in 2019 at age 16 yrs.  RIP Bud. We miss you.

TWO & A HALF WEEKS

I’m starting to be able to tell them apart. Gosh, they are super sweet and very affectionate and great with being handled. Rusty and Milli throw amazing puppies!

FOUR WEEKS EXACTLY

Ok, now they’re getting fun. And getting out! This morning I came down to two puppies sleeping in the living room on the sheepskin, the little monkeys. They’re a bundle of fun, for sure! Just remember that it’s very difficult to tell the puppies apart. The Red Tris are even harder, but we have it mostly sorted. I may not have every photo down pat, because sometimes you need to see the paws to tell them apart! It’s a bit crazy, actually. They are super sweet kids.

FIVE WEEKS

Time for their first glamor shots! Wrangling puppies is a full time job, so it’s a good excuse to stay home and cuddle with the little furballs. It’s hard to pick the one I like best. They’re all really, really high quality puppies.  Rusty and Milli never disappoint. I also managed to get the RED TRI boys straight, so go by the numbers on these images, as some of the 4-week pictures aren’t right.

Still looking for his family—RTM #6

It sounds weird giving them numbers, but I want people to come up with their own names for my babies. This little guy is such an intelligent boy. He literally watches everything you do. He wants to be with you, and I have to say, he’s the one I always find myself picking up and squeezing like the Charmin commercial. He just loves it. Great conformation, nice coat and bone – there’s nothing to fault.This was a super consistent litter, and he’s as amazing as his brothers. If you want a puppy to hang on your every word, he’s it. 

Still looking for his family—RTM #4

This little guy has really nice copper points and a nice coat. He’s inquisitive without being obnoxious, and he’s just like his dad. He and puppy number one were like twins, but one had a right sleeve and one had a left sleeve. He’s absolutely ready to snuggle on your lap and watch TV.
