So proud of Saffron (Krews & Rey) for earning her Master Dock Diving title and jumping a whopping 23.9ft! She turns 2yo in September!

And Binks for earning her Senior Dock Diving title yesterday!

Their owners have done such a wonderful job working with these girls to find an outlet that lets them shine! ✨💦

Finn is always ready to help on butcher days - he’s the most efficient at bringing the birds to me to catch and cage to bring them over.

Of course he also enjoys being rewarded with fresh chicken heads/necks.

We had big hopes for our program this year.

However, plans change because we do not want to contribute to the rise in puppies with genetic issues. Unfortunately Rogue failed her OFA elbows. Her hips came back as rated GOOD but having bilaterally failing elbows means she does not qualify as a breeding dog.

That said, we will not be having any puppies this year. We have 4 young dogs who will have their OFA finals completed next year but we are not going to make any plans at this time.

Rogue has been an incredible dog to raise and demo in front of thousands all over the country. She’s capable, biddable and determined to finish every job she starts. Our hearts are saddened to not keep a pup back from her but we value producing healthy puppies first and foremost.

Thank you for your support! ❤️

Is your dog “ignoring” you—or is there something else going on?

In training, a cue is just a signal that tells your dog what behaviour will be reinforced—very different from a command, which implies obedience or punishment for not complying.

Understanding the difference can completely change how effective your training is.

DM me your training questions—I love helping dog owners decode what's really going on.

Maturity - a huge reason why we request that pups from our program wait u til at least 18 months of age to alter.

Snips, on the right, will turn one year old next month. Her mother, Rey, on the left, will turn five this summer. Allowing their bodies to fill out and properly mature with all of their hormones helps so much with the overall health of the dog.

It was fun to see this mother/daughter comparison at the water bucket this morning.

About Us

We are a married couple located in Dunn, North Carolina with our four Australian Shepherds. We have both always had a love and passion for dogs and a dream to raise our own some day. Josh and Wyatt were already a team when Jordyn joined the picture. Shortly after, we added Piper to our little family with the plan in mind to breed when she was older.

​Wyatt has had his hips, elbows, and eyes certified for breeding as he is both AKC and CKC registered. Wyatt is also clear on his genetic health panel though a carrier for Intestinal Cobalamin Malabsorption. The puppies have a 50% of being a carrier but will not have this deficiency. Unfortunately none of our puppies will be eligible for AKC registration as Piper is CKC only and wasn't eligible. All puppies are vet checked and certified before leaving our home.

​It is important to us that all puppies we help produce are well-socialized and given proper de-worming and shots before they leave for their new homes at the minimum age of eight weeks old. Proper potty-training and general "respect" training are kick-started while the pups grow in their first two months of life with us though this does NOT mean they are "bullet proof" in that training. These puppies will have medium-high energy and require a lot of time and energy as they grow into mature adults.

​We love our dogs like family and will only allow buyers who will cherish these pups the same way we do. They will be well socialized, up to date on vaccines and well-fed before they are ready to leave our hands and go to their new homes.
