Australian Shepherds

....a farmers best friend

Puppies

Here at Highhope, we strive to produce the best working dogs, as well as a companion.

I was first introduced to the Australian Shepherds in 1996, while I was working for our veterinarian. I purchased a black tri female, 12 weeks old, I named "Aussie". Within 2 weeks of Aussie going with me to the barn, she started in helping load the calves into the trailer. From then on it was just Aussie and myself getting the cattle loaded and sometimes out in the pasture gathering up a cow and a newborn calf if something was wrong after the cow calved. Aussies's time was short lived, however, she was one of the best, and she convinced me that an Austrailian Shepherd was the only working dog to have.

If you are interested in a working stock dog or just a companion, an Australian Shepherd is the best of both. They are very intelligent, hard working, and loyal to their owner.
