Istari Aussies
Breeders / Posted 2 months ago by Andrea Hoffmann
My goal is to produce Aussies who can work stock. I like a biddable dog who wants to work with me when necessary, but who learns the tasks and can work independently.
I want a dog confident enough to work tough stock, savvy enough to work lambs.
My goal is to produce working Aussies who are good farm/ranch dogs and can be successful trained by anyone as chore or trial dogs. I aim to produce biddable dogs who have the ability to work anything from lambs (and ducks) to cattle. However I do not have many litters. My foundation is Twin Oaks/Windsong (HOF PCH WTCH ATCH Twin Oaks Rowan CDX RTDs DNA-VP).
All of my breeding dogs are OFA-ed (hips and elbows) and eyes checked, plus DNA-ed for parentage verification before their first litter. I have a small farm with sheep and ducks, and use my dogs daily for chores (particularly as the sheep are escape artists)
