Our Dogs
We hand-pick our breeding dogs not just for pedigrees, but for personality, health, and versatility. Every dog we keep or bring into our program has proven themselves as:
Steady, easy-going companions
Confident around kids, other dogs, cats, and horses
Athletic enough for hiking, agility, or farm life, but biddable enough to relax at home
Each dog has been health tested and comes from pedigrees we’ve researched thoroughly for both structure and temperament.
Chief (Fetch Me a Noble Legacy)
Chief is the definition of an easy-going companion. He’s the kind of dog you can bring to the farm for the weekend with hardly any training, and you can still trust him to stay close, be respectful, and fit right in. Affectionate and sweet, Chief loves nothing more than being around people—he’s always following close behind you, making sure he doesn’t miss a moment with his family.
One of his favorite pastimes is water play—whether it’s a swimming pool, stock tank, or muddy puddle, Chief will happily leap in multiple times a day. With a medium drive, he’s active and athletic, enjoying long runs along the fenceline with the horses, but he has the steadiness to ignore opportunities to chase or nip at the horses, goats, or kittens he lives alongside.
Chief is double registered with AKC (Miniature American Shepherd) and ASDR, considered toy size, and he brings both reliable temperament and versatility to our program.
Millie (Rustic Lace Pressure Cooked)
Millie is truly one of those once-in-a-lifetime dogs. She has a personality that shines—confident, observant, and intelligent—making her an absolute joy to live and work with. Millie is non-reactive and patient, bringing a calm steadiness to every situation, while her smarts mean she’s quick to figure things out and adapt.
She’s the kind of dog who’s curious enough to explore on her own, but thoughtful enough to circle back and check in. Athletic and agile outdoors, Millie can keep up with any adventure, yet she also settles beautifully in the house. Affectionate without being pushy, she has just the right balance of sweetness and respect for your space.
Adaptable and easygoing, Millie gets along with everyone she meets—dogs, people, and animals alike. She is AKC registered, considered mini in size, and comes from a show line focused on both conformation and personality. Millie brings together the best of brains, beauty, and heart, and we are thrilled to have her as part of our foundation program.
Luna (Trailside’s Lunar Eclipse)
Luna is a 25-pound, registered ASDR Mini Australian Shepherd with a beautifully sturdy, balanced build and the softest, most affectionate presence. She is fully health tested and full-panel clear, making her a strong and responsible addition to our breeding program and a wonderful representation of the kind of dogs we strive to produce.
What truly sets Luna apart is her temperament. She is a big, floppy, goofy lap dog at heart — always ready to melt into your arms, snuggle close, or follow you from room to room. She loves to play, adores being with her people, and has an easygoing, go-with-the-flow personality that lets her fit seamlessly into whatever everyone else is doing, whether that’s lounging on the couch or heading outside for fun.
Luna also brings a youthful, bubbly spirit that perfectly balances her calm sweetness. She enjoys exploring the world and engaging with her family without being overwhelming or chaotic. With her stockier build, warm heart, and wonderfully stable temperament, Luna represents everything we value in our program — and the kind of foundation dog whose puppies will grow into confident, affectionate, and well-rounded companions.
