The Girls
The girls in the breeding program are all intentional, whether it be from intelligence, athletic ability, pedigree, testing, and of course, I personally think they are strikingly beautiful, they each contribute here personally for me and they are what I want to put into the Australian Shepherd world. They are two or older before they start to produce and have one to five litters, then retired. They are paired with the male I believe will contribute the most to them, not just random breeding. All of my age-appropriate females are taking "In Between for Her" vitamins. My pregnant females take "Prenatal" vitamins and the females who have delivered puppies "Postnatal" vitamins. Their diet consists of a nutritional dry dogfood full access, while pregnant, each have their own special diet to ensure they are getting what they need most.

4Feathers red rouge...rouge, Red Merle, AKC/ASCA REG CLEAR GENetics, 19 1/2" in height and 45# in weight. Rouge was produced by Katie book @ Iq Farms, she is a Maggie/ rowdy cross. her cross has all the ingredients we Aussie folks want, crownpoint, slash v, misretta and many other great lines. C4 Courts Chaney, the c4 matriarch is her paternal grandmother. she is as loyal as they come, where i am, she is.
This girl will have one more litter (be her 3rd) and she will be retired early 2027, as she is my personal everyday go to girl.
Iq's Gone Rogue @ 4Feathers... ROGUE, Red Merle, AKC/ASCA Registered, 18" in height, 40# in weight, test pending, is a full sister to Rouge and will replace her in the lineup. Polar opposites in dispositions, Rogue is more focused at the task at hand, vs me solely, same drive. Love Love Love this line. They are not for the weak hearted, they are incredibly intelligent, they are incredibly driven and they are incredibly outstanding at WHATEVER they do. Saying that however, does not imply they are simply "working, high drive aussies", I can't have HOT dogs here, due to other livestock, but they have to stay intellectually stimulated and have a release. In those cases, it could mean any arena you enter in life, even just for the adventurous family that likes to hike, swim etc. Their heart is with their person, and will do absolutely whatever to make them happy.
4Feathers Miley...MILEY, Blue Merle AKC/ASCA REG CLEAR GENETICS, 20" in height, 52# in weight. Miley is a Stella/Rowdy offspring, produced here at 4Feathers. She is a fierce girl, just like her mom, with the lovebug side to humans like her dad.

Mittens Fancy @ 4Feathers... FANCY, Red Tri, AKC/ ASCA registered, clear genetics, 19"in height, 45# in weight. Fancy came to me from an outside breeder. She is a own daughter of Ruger as to why she had to come to 4Feathers...I will never have enough Ruger girls in my opinion. Fancy will possibly have one more litter and retire 2027.
