What a blessing and privilege it is to be exhausted by something you get and love to do. Ive found my purpose and when I finally lay down at night, exhausted, I know it was a great fulfilling day. 💙

The first puppy from our 🦘Down Under🐢 litter goes home today. Always a bittersweet time but I know a fulfilled life full of adventure and love awaits her!

These girls have hit the ground running after a short summer hiatus!

SunSeekers And Then There Were Three JS-O RS-O GS-O RN RA "Tres" got to experience Elite courses for the first time and they clearly suited her fancy! Racking up
3 Gambler's Q's, 1 Jumpers Q at 6.34 yards per second and 2 1/2 Regular Q's!
Tres has an incredible work ethic, always enthusiastic to do something and doesn't hold back and now with her maturity she is getting ready to hit her stride and really shine! Her owner, Becky, has done a wonderful job of training Tres in multiple venues and Im forever grateful she is apart of the SunSeeker Family.

Tres is from our 2022 Inspire Litter

Nothing is more expensive than a missed opportunity, so take one that could change your life!

🪶This high caliber puppy will be staying and continuing his training with me until the end of July but afterwards he will be ready for a Teammate to take the podium with!
Limited registration only, I rarely sell to breeding homes. 🪶

-----------------------------
"Kookaburra" is an exceptional individual with so much to offer, and oozes potential! Extremely drivey, biddable, immensely food and toy motivated and a VERY easy going boy who adores people and loves other dogs. He is a confident puppy, nice off switch but ready to go when you are!
- He has been exposed to exremely loud noises such as thunder, fireworks, heavy machinery and construction noises. He has seen multiple people, dogs, been in pack settings, by himself, exposed to crate training, car rides, problem solving tasks, general manners, bathing/drying/grooming, leash training, car rides to new locations, litterboxed trained and currently working on housebreaking as well as rally/heeling. Training will continue as long as he is here.
- Everything I ask of this puppy is easy, no fuss, excited to participate but isnt so handler focused that hes glued to your hip. A very nice balanced combination!
- His pedigree has over 30 HOF dogs in it with his sire being a working trial champion, ASCA/AKC champion, has rally titles and has produced offspring who have won at the National level. His sire is OFA Good/Normal, full dentition/scissor bite, eyes clear, MDR1 Carrier.
His dam is major pointed, went BOSP at a National preshow, finished her international agility novice title in one weekend, was reserve High In Trial Rally novice(behind her maternal half brother) at the 2023 ASCA Nationals, multiple perfect rally scores with 1st places, multiple agility Qs with first places and the dams littermates are absolutely exquisite individuals who have finished their breed championships and are excelling in multiple performance venues. If you know me, you know I want to see those consistent high scores and high Q rate! All of which this dam line is doing. His dam is OFA Excellent/Normal, scissor bite/full dentition, eyes cleared and clean panel.

Kookaburra has shown the characteristics, personality and structure to surpass that of his pedigree. Don't pass up the opportunity to have a dog that WILL take you to the top but most importantly that he finds a home where he will be loved and adored like he is here.

A huge congratulations to Sunseekers No Money In The Morning CD BN RE ACT2 ACT2J CGCA TKI ASCA RN RNX RA "Prim" for completing 2 new titles in the past month!

This girl is having an amazing career under the talented training of her owner Amanda and at just 3 years old the future looks incredibly bright! 💙🎊

Prim is from our 2022 BIS RBIS MBISS GCHS HOF CH Ashton x CH RTCH ATCH Ariat litter and is very closely related to our current 2025 litter.

Weve been having too much fun with these cuties! Heres our formal Introduction of our "Down Under" Litter:

Turtles - Blue Merle Female
Kangaroo - Red Tri Male
Kookaburra- Black Tri Male
Quokka- Red Merle Female

They are officially 8 days old and growing quickly! ENS and ESI have started and we will continue to add Puppy Culture, Advidog, and my own techniques as they grow.

No they dont have a lick of Australian lines in them but I wanted to do a unique theme and what better than one paying a tribute to a family I have incredible respect for?
I've been influenced by very few people in my life but there is one family that has greatly influenced who Iam, The Irwins. Not just Steve but Terri and their children as well. They have been vital for shedding light on a number of species, educating and keeping the next generation excited about conservation.

Stay tuned to watch them grow!

Our 2025 litter has arrived!

So far, mom and babies are doing great and while they are so cute at this age, we can't wait to watch these little ones grow. 💙

🎂 Happy 3rd Birthday to our Ashton x Ariat "Inspire" litter!!! 🎂

Three years ago I welcomed my first litter into the world and they have been nothing short of incredible! Producing my first Best of Breed Puppy AND Best Opposite Puppy winner at the National level(2023 ASCA Nationals Greater Atlanta PreShow), first class wins at the National, first bred by champion, first Best Opposite special win, first internationally titled agility dog, first high in trial winner, first bred by on the road to ATCH, first altered wins, first altered BOS, first Excellent rated hips, and a ridiculous amount of agility, rally and dock diving titles. Excelling in the AKC, ASCA, USDAA and UKI rings. It goes without saying just how proud I'am of each one of these dogs and their just as incredible owners, whom I not only consider friends but family. 💙 Thank you for loving them as much as I do!

Cupcakes and presents later but for now, a nice morning run!

Thank you everyone for the puppy vibes! We are excited to hopefully welcome our 🐨🐙🐊"Down Under"🐢🦎🐋 litter mid May!
A lot of potential in these little ones!

Feel free to reach out with inquires! Special consideration for our past puppy owners and performance homes. 💙

Back in February I got to celebrate a huge milestone as a breeder and that was finishing my first bred by champion!
Ignite finished his ASCA Championship with 3, 5 point majors, including a Best Opposite and Best of Winners! What a thrill to finish a dog from my first litter under highly respected judges. Even more exciting is how versatile this dog is, with the following weekend Ignite thrived on the UKI Agility courses going 3/4(off course was my fault) with 3 firsts! Not stopping there from January to mid March Ignite went from novice to Elite level agility, finishing almost 9 titles and is now on the road to his agility championship!

Ferrero had his first taste of an agility trial at the February UKI trial and got his first Q! He had some spectacular moments but being a young dog he needed to learn to rate the jumpes better. A little practice and just a few weeks later Ferrero had the BEST day and ran completely clean, going 5/5 with 5 first places and earning his first agility title(novice jumpers)!! Iam SO proud of the noodle boy!

Electra only got to partake in 2 trials due to her coming in heat but she sure made a great impact and finished her novice jumpers, novice gamblers and novice regular titles! She also got a reserve winners to the 5pt major back in February! An exciting future ahead for this girl!

05/04/2025

I think it's time to brag on our bred bys again!
I'm way behind as most of these achievements where earned in February/March but we are still so incredibly proud of these Teams!!

- SunSeekers Hot Tamale "Molly" earned her novice jumpers(NAJ), novice Regular(NA) and open regular titles(OA) with multiple firsts and placements! Molly was a favorite of mine and it was tough letting her go. Seeing her thrive with Sandy has made it so much easier. Congratulations ladies!

- SunSeekers No Money In the Morning RN RI RE BN CD ACT1 ACT2 ACTJ CGCA TKA "Prim" Absolutely dominated her first AKC Master rally run. Scoring a perfect 100 and winning the class of over 40 master dogs! She followed that up with impressive scores in Excellent and Advanced. The following Sunday she scored a perfect 300, 100 in Masters, 100 in Excellent and 100 in Advanced! Missing High Triple by just a few seconds. Prim was also invited to the AKC Rally Invitational! Very impressive!
Prims agility career is just starting but she was the number one Australian Shepherd in the Freshman division of the AKC Agility League and 2nd place 20 inch. Way to go Prim and Amanda!

SunSeekers Gonna Steal Your Heart NA NAJ RS-N JS-N "Bandit" Finished his Open FAST(OF) title with a Q1st, finished his ASCA jumper open (JS-O) title with a 1st and 2nd, and finished his gambler novice title(GS-N) with a Q1st. In USDAA Bandit finished his starter jumper title and got his second starter snooker(SS) leg with a Q2nd! This boy competes in all the agility venues and is doing so well with his owner Kathryn. Congratulations Bandit and Kathryn!

SunSeekers And Then There Where Three JS-N GS-N "Tres"
This girl thrives off of being kept busy. In early February Tres earned two 2nd places and 1 first place in her agility runs finishing her jumper and gambler novice titles! one of her Jumpers runs was an impressive 16.19 seconds, traveling 6.55 yards per second(no Q, knocked bar)! That's quick, bar or no bar! Mid March Tres had a Q1st in her Regular Open run and a gamblers and Jumpers Q! To top it off she also competed in rally that same day and got a 195 in her first off leash advance rally run! This firecracker is going places! Congratulations Tres and Becky!!

ASCA Altered Pointed SunSeekers Can You Hear Me Now LC-N LD-N LF-N "Echo"
Is making her presence known in the altered ring! In February Echo went WB AND Best Opposite under judge Phillip Peart! She was also awarded reserve winners under PBJ Katelyn Scott Peart and AKC judge John Lucas! Echo also finished her rally novice(RN) title at this same show! The following weekend Echo picked up a few qualifying runs in agility and in March Echo picked up 2 more reserve winners! Congratulations to her owner Laura and thank you for letting me show her in conformation!

ASCA Major Pointed SunSeekers Resistance Is Futile RN RAX GS-N JS-N-OP RS-N JSA-N "Surge"
Has been training hard and made his debut in obedience. Earning a 194 (a verbal command cost them 3 pts) his first time out! Furthermore, Surge finished his Regular standard title(RS-N), and his outstanding performance Jumpers noise title! Surge has been with Jacquie for less than a year and Iam so proud of the team they have become! Jacquie is very similar to me in regards to training and our philosophy of "perfection is relative but we can be the best version of ourselves" and we train until we reach that.

SunSeekers Dont You Wish "Envy"
This life of the party firecracker competed in her first rally trial in early February and got 2 qualifying runs towards her title!

It has been a FABULOUS past two months and we still have more to share! If I have forgotten anyone or forgotten a title, please message me. I can't keep up with all of your success! 😂 The website: www.sunseekeraussies.com will soon be updated!
