*Working Aussie Pups Available!*
Located 50 miles south of Nashville, TN.
Litter: Boone (Sire) is from Randy Kidd out of Kidd's Rosie Red and a Dog named Ky. Lady (Dam) is out of a Slash V bred Female and Mike Clark's MC Cash Agent. Both Dogs have multiple HOF dogs in their breeding and several would be recognized and appreciated by those that follow pedigrees. Boone and Lady do not have a great deal of faults and really compliment each others strength and weaknesses. We are looking forward to seeing how these pups perform.
Six pups were born on November 22, 2025 (2 males and 4 females). We are retaining two pups, so we will have 4 available. All pups have been socialized, and are showing a good amount of confidence and some early drive. This is Lady's second litter and pups from the first litter are said to be showing a lot of promise in multiple types of work.
Character: Both dogs are great partners and an indispensable part of our family. Both Boone and Lady have a lot of drive, are one person dogs, a little leery of strangers, and loyal to a fault. They are protective without being aggressive, both have good minds and are easy and a joy to be around. For us balance is important and both dogs have the ability to transition from work to an afternoon of playing ball with the kids without hesitation. They are irreplaceable on and off the farm.
Boone's Working description: Boone is a trustworthy, confident, loose eyed dog that hits both head and heel. He grips low on the heel but has moved up a little bit over the last few years on sheep. He has a strong grip when threatened and will turn most stock when needed. He has a good sense of balance and pressure and will give stock the appropriate amount of space and time to transition when being worked. He will work from and off balance and understands why. He drives, but longer cross drives take a lot of engagement to keep correct. In the open field, he has a clean workable outrun. He squares off nicely, stays out but will slice a little on the back side on longer runs (if you let him). He will move back out if asked. He will gather blind and unassisted at a distance, but consistent clean outruns do seem to fall apart after 150-200 yards. Although Boone isn't a fast worker, he has a natural stock awareness and tends to be where he needs to be. I would consider Boone a 90% dog on taking commands. Fortunately, most of the other 10% is when I am telling him something wrong to do.
Lady's Working Description: Lady has become my companion dog and does not (formally) work on the farm. She is extremely athletic and has a great deal of natural talent with lots of drive and desire to work. She is the type of dog that will go all day and into tomorrow and then make you feel guilty for stopping. She is more of an upright dog with a good amount of focus on stock. She has a strong natural sense to gather. On stock, she has a lot of confidence, no fear and works through pressure. Off of stock, she doesn't take a lot of pressure but doesn't need it to get results.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Australian Shepherd Puppies
About Australian Shepherd Puppies
What are Australian Shepherds known for?
Australian Shepherds are a beautiful breed with merle coats, high energy, and and an obsession with being close to their families. These dogs are wonderful family companions, but be prepared to keep them active and occupied to avoid having a sad, destructive Aussie. Full-grown, they typically weigh 40-65 pounds and stand 18-23 inches tall.
Do Australian Shepherds do well in a busy household?
Australian Shepherds are generally excellent with children of all ages. Australian Shepherds are great companion for kids and other pets, especially if they’re socialized as puppies. These dogs can be happy in warm or cool climates, but they need plenty of space to run and play and should have their primary living space indoors. They're moderate barkers — they'll alert you when something's up but aren't excessive.
Do Australian Shepherds need a lot of physical activity?
Aussies need a lot of high-energy activities and mental stimulation to keep them happy. They’re the perfect exercise buddies, especially for families that like being outdoors. Take your Australian Shepherd for a run, hike, or a long play session in a big backyard to keep their hearts soaring and their minds sharp. Overall, their exercise needs are very high.
Are Australian Shepherds high-maintenance when it comes to grooming?
The Australian Shepherd has a dense undercoat and outer coat with medium to long hair that’s straight or slightly wavy. Aussies’ fur is short and soft on their head and legs, with a thick mane around the neck. These dogs can be black, red, red merle (dark patches on a light background), or blue merle, and some may have white markings or tan points too. Grooming-wise, this breed is low-maintenance.
Do Australian Shepherds need a big yard?
Australian Shepherds are best suited for a home with a yard, though they can adapt to apartment life with enough exercise. These dogs can be happy in warm or cool climates, but they need plenty of space to run and play and should have their primary living space indoors. They are highly trainable and eager to learn.
Puppy Buyer's FAQ

Visit or Video Call the Breeder
Visit in person if possible, or request a live video call to meet the puppy, see its living conditions, and meet the mom. Ask to see where the dogs eat, sleep, and play.
Get a Vet Exam Immediately
Have a vet examine the puppy within two days of bringing it home, even if it seems healthy.
Request Complete Health Records
Ask for vaccination records, deworming history, and vet exam results. For purebreds, ask for parent health clearances.
Get Everything in Writing
Written contract with health guarantees, return/refund policy, and spay/neuter terms. Verbal promises are unenforceable.
Use Secure Payment Methods
Pay with a credit card or another traceable method that offers buyer protection. Avoid wire transfers, crypto, or gift cards, which are difficult to recover.
Verify Breeder Credentials
Check USDA license, state breeder license, breed club memberships, and reviews. Ask for buyer references.
Know What to Look For
A trustworthy breeder welcomes visits, specializes in one or two breeds, prices fairly, and gives you time to decide without pressure.
Know Your State's Laws
Some states have lemon laws; others rely on contract law. Know your rights before you buy.
