| CAN SMALLER AUSTRALIAN SHEPHERDS REALLY HERD? Not the best photos, but thought we would share some quick shots of our dogs at work around the farm... As you can see, Trystin' has her job down pretty well! She takes the goats to & from the barn. The photos below are of her gathering the goats and putting them back in the barn before supper-time. In spite of how well she does, we have not done any "formal" training and she has never worked in a livestock pen. What she does is real farm work -- She knows a few basic commands and just listens for my direction. They might laugh at us if we showed up at a herding dog trial, but she has made herself indispensable here! Shadrach watched our girls work and finally decided to get in on the act as well -- Jealous of all the praise we give the Aussie ladies, I suppose! (Click on the photos for larger views.) Have a tail-waggin' g'day! |
| We thought you might like to see some photos of one of our Shadrach daughters. This is RunAmok Roxy Stargazer! Roxy is a lovely red tri-color, and following closely in her momma's footsteps, she obviously commands "respect" from her family's livestock. Thank you to Donna and Mike for sharing these photos with us! |
| RunAmok pups tend to have strong instinct - even when first introduced to the goats! In most of the pictures below, the pups were only 7.5 weeks old! Strong instinct, good "drive", solid conformation, even temperaments... What more could you ask for? |
| To answer our original question: Yes, smaller Australian Shepherds and Miniature Aussies are more than capable of herding - goats, sheep, ducks, geese... even cattle! A properly bred Australian Shepherd has heart, savvy, and working ability -regardless of base size. |

| "Everything has been amazing! She has yet to have an accident, slept through the night, has been eating up all her food and is fitting in perfectly with our family. She is such a lover and we are enjoying every moment with her. Thanks for raising such a great dog! She will be very loved! Gina" |
