Australian Shepherds

November 11, 2025

Welcoming new life to the farm is always something special — but this upcoming Australian Shepherd litter means even more to us. Ali and Aubrey embody the foundation of our program: healthy, stable, intelligent dogs who shine both on the farm and in the show ring.

We are thrilled to share that Ali and Aubrey are expecting a litter soon here at Queen City Farm in Falmouth, Kentucky!

Meet the Parents

Aubrey — The Heart Dog & Proven Stud

Aubrey is the kind of dog who lives to make his people happy. He’s athletic, eager to learn, and thrives when he has a job — whether that’s training, tricks, or joining you on whatever adventure the day brings. He has incredible enthusiasm and confidence in new environments, but his favorite place will always be right by your side. His deep love for people and joyful attitude are what make him such a special partner.

Ali — Sweet, Snuggly, and Eager to Please

Ali is a gentle soul who prefers being close to her family over the spotlight. She’s thoughtful, steady, and loves a quiet afternoon at home just as much as a walk on the farm. Her affectionate nature and strong bond with her people make her a wonderful companion. This will be her second litter, and we are so excited to see her shine as a nurturing mom.

Both parents are:

  • Fully health tested (OFA + genetic panel, CHIC certified)
  • Conformationally correct to standard
  • Titled in UKC and AKC
  • Social, confident, and family-friendly

We are committed to ethical Australian Shepherd breeding (read about our first show dog, Lyra, here!) — prioritizing temperament and structure that support lifelong health and versatility.

What to Expect From This Litter

This carefully planned pairing is expected to produce:

  • Confident, social puppies who adapt well to new environments
  • Well-structured dogs suitable for a long life of health, whether it is daily hikes or doing barn chores
  • Energetic, biddable partners for active families

Color possibilities include black tri and red tri — no merles in this cross.

Raised With Intention and Purpose

Our puppies benefit from a thoughtful, development-focused start:

  • Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS)
  • Early Scent Introduction (ESI)
  • Puppy Culture protocols
  • Age-appropriate socialization and enrichment
  • Exposure to daily farm life and real-world surfaces
  • Foundation of crate training and confidence-building

A good dog doesn’t just happen — they are thoughtfully bred and intentionally raised.
