AKC/ASCA Australian Shepherd Breeder in Southeast Missouri.

18/01/2025

Marco is an almost 6-month-old Australian Shepherd looking for his next big adventure! He’s active, extremely food and toy motivated, with excellent handler focus. Marco is social and friendly, enjoying kids and other dogs. He’s potty trained, crate trained, and rides quietly in the car.

His sire is GCH MACH3 PACH Dune, and his dam has titles in agility, dock diving, Fast CAT, and more. Both parents are fully health tested, and Marco has had his eyes cleared by a veterinary ophthalmologist, is cleared by my vet, and is fully vaccinated, including rabies.

We’d love for Marco to go to a performance home where his potential can truly shine, but an active companion home may also be considered. Ideally, his new owner would be open to a co-own arrangement so he could remain intact for conformation showing and possible future breeding, though finding the right home is most important.

If Marco sounds like the perfect match for you, reach out to learn more!
Please consider sharing!

Marco is looking for his perfect partner! 🐾✨ He’s smart, sweet, and bursting with potential for all kinds of fun. 🎾🍖 With his incredible food and toy drive, Marco is ready to shine in agility, dock diving, fast CAT, or almost any sport you’re passionate about. 🏅🌊🐕

While I’d love a co-own situation (happy to chat about details), the most important thing is finding Marco the right home—one where he’ll get the love, attention, and activity he thrives on. ❤️🏡

Marco has a big heart and an even bigger zest for life. 💕⚡ If you’re ready to add a fun-loving, eager-to-learn Aussie to your family, reach out! 📩🐕‍🦺 I’d love to tell you more about this amazing boy and see if he’s the match you’ve been waiting for. 🌟

“Goodbye, 2024. Hello, 2025.”

As 2024 draws to a close, we’re taking a moment to reflect on a year filled with challenges, milestones, and joy. From welcoming new litters to celebrating the achievements of our dogs, it’s been a year of growth and gratitude.

To the puppy families who’ve joined the Ausdauer family, thank you for opening your hearts and homes. Watching our pups thrive in your care is one of the greatest rewards of this journey.

To our own dogs, who’ve given their all in the ring, on the field, and at home, you are the heart of everything we do. Every title earned, every milestone achieved, and every snuggle shared has reminded us why we love this breed so deeply.

And to our community of friends, supporters, and fellow dog lovers, your encouragement means the world. Whether it was a kind word, a shared laugh, or a helpful tip, you’ve made this year brighter.

As we step into 2025, we’re looking forward to new adventures, goals, and of course, more puppy kisses. We’re excited to continue sharing this journey with all of you.

Here’s to a new year full of wagging tails, happy hearts, and endless possibilities! 🐾

Marco is looking for a performance home! He was held back by me as his bite bounced around a bit, but it has settled into a perfect tight scissors, so a co-own may be an option. Official post with updated photos coming soon!

🎉✨ 2024: A Year of Growth, Planning, and All the Dogs ✨🎉

This year was full of planning, dreaming, and realizing that there’s just never enough time in the day 🕰️.

I raised my first all-boy litter and felt incredibly confident in my puppy-raising process, knowing I gave each of them the best possible start! 🐾💙 Despite wanting a girl so badly (and swearing I wasn’t keeping a boy 🙃), I somehow ended up with two of them here with me. Life sure has a way of surprising you! 😅

*Hops had a stellar Year Two of Life!* 🌟
- In just a few weekends this spring, she earned her BCAT 🐾💨.
- After some early confidence-building in dock diving, she found her groove and smashed it out of the park! 🏅💦 She earned her DJ title in NADD early in the season and her LC-N in ASCA.
- At our *first-ever* ASCA Nationals (!!! 🥳), she went above and beyond, earning her LD-N!
- This fall and winter, we’ve been diving into agility training, and while there’s still lots to learn, she’s showing so much potential. 🐕‍🦺💨

Looking Ahead & Winter Goals:
While agility training continues and we wait for spring events to pick back up, I’m considering adding some trick dog titles for Hops and the boys. 🪄🐶 It feels like a fun way to stay busy while we work on building skills for the future! 🐾

Fast CAT events are on the calendar for spring 🌷🐾, and we’ll keep chipping away at agility with plans to compete when we’re ready. Conformation classes are still on my radar, but I’ve got to track some down first (my local ones are in a teeny tiny room it's just not suitable for us)!

Puppy Plans:
Cersei is hopefully about to wrap up her final litter 🐶💖, and after that, we’re planning on taking a break from puppies for a few years while we work on training, competing, and titling, (fingers crossed for Hops puppies down the road!). Oh, and we’re maybe considering adding a new girl at some point, but that’s a “we’ll see” situation. 😜🐾

Puppy Owners & New Connections:
This year, I’ve been so lucky to have incredible puppy owners join the Ausdauer family! We welcomed our first repeat puppy buyer (such an honor 🥹) and placed puppies in three amazing new homes. 🏡🐶

I’m also so proud of my previous puppy owners and the amazing journeys their dogs are on. Whether excelling in their roles, training for new adventures, or just being the best companions, these pups are thriving in their own ways. 💕 It’s been wonderful to see updates, cheer them on, and support their growth—and I’ll always be here for them in the future!

2024 has been a whirlwind, but it’s been full of progress, joy, and plenty of dog hair 😂. Here’s to another year of learning, growing, and enjoying this crazy, amazing dog life. 🐾❤️ Bring on 2025!

Marco 🌊 Is Looking for a Performance Home!

Marco is a bold and clever boy with fantastic food and toy drive, a touch of spice, and a zest for life. He’s eager to work, loves to learn, and has the potential to shine in agility, obedience, rally, nosework, or other dog sports.

We’re looking for a co-own performance home within a few hours of us. While it’s uncertain if Marco will be suitable for the conformation ring, we would love to partner with someone who is open to working with us on this journey. If he doesn’t turn out for the show ring, he can be neutered, and we will happily sign off for him to continue thriving in his performance career.

Please reach out for more information!

🚨 Meet Marco! 🚨 This smart, eager pup is searching for his perfect co-own home 🏡. Marco is a superstar 🌟—he sleeps quietly through the night in his crate, goes in like a champ for meals 🍽️, and is potty trained as long as he’s taken out appropriately 🚪🐾.

He’s ready to shine with someone who wants to dive into the world of dog sports! 🐕💨 Whether it’s agility, rally, obedience, conformation, dock diving, or scent work—Marco’s your guy. He’d love a partner who’s excited to train, compete, and have a blast doing it 🏆🎉.

Like Mother, Like Daughter 🐾✨

✨ The Folk Games Boys: Pickle’s Next Big Adventure! ✨

Our boy Pickle has been set off on his exciting journey for a few weeks now, and we couldn’t be more thrilled! 🫶🏼 Not only is he keeping his adorable name (yay for our first puppy to do so that we haven’t kept!), but he’ll also be making memories with his new family under his registered name, Ausdauer’s In A Pickle. He’s been settling in great at his new home, just like I knew he would.

From exploring scentwork to (hopefully!) circling his way through the conformation ring, Pickle has so much ahead. We’re so proud of him and beyond excited to see all he accomplishes with his amazing family by his side.

Here’s to Pickle, his loving family, and all the incredible adventures awaiting them! 🌟

🌟 Hops Makes a Splash at the ASCA National Specialty!
Ausdauer’s Hazy Little Thing LC-N BCAT —our very own Hops—earned her LD-N (Launch Deluxe Novice) title in spectacular style at the 50th ASCA National Specialty in Grand Island, Nebraska!

With a new personal best of 15’ 6” on the first day and another personal best of 16’ 3” on the second day, she not only exceeded our expectations but also earned first place and additional placements, and qualified for the bonus round! It was only her second time competing on a mobile dock, her first time at an event this big, and she performed better than I could have ever asked. 💙

On top of it all, she got plenty of compliments on how stinkin’ cute she is—which just made my heart so happy! 🥰 Proud doesn’t even begin to cover it. Way to go, Hops!

Stash is Looking for Her Perfect Forever Home

Stash, our spirited and unique girl, is tentatively available for a very special match. She has some specific needs to ensure her new home is just right for her.

About Stash:

• Energy & Drive: She has an intense ball and fetch drive and would thrive with someone who enjoys interactive play. She knows several commands, including sit, down, and “about” (to circle around your legs for another round of fetch).
• Personality: Stash is deeply loyal and dependent on her person. She needs a calm, predictable environment to help her feel secure.
• No Children: After a few scary experiences, Stash would be happiest in a home without children. She would do best with a single woman or a couple who understand her sensitivities.
• Privacy & Space: Due to some boundary reactivity created by my neighbors dogs, Stash would do best in a home where she doesn’t share a fence line with neighbors’ dogs.

• She’s already spayed, so this placement is for a non-breeding, companion-pet only home.

If you think you might be the right match for Stash and can provide a structured, calm environment, please reach out. We’d love to talk about her needs and see if she could be the perfect fit for you! You will have to come meet her, first, and then secondly, take her on a trial basis.

I’m not the breeder who needs you to shout my name from the rooftops or tag me in every post. I don’t need public validation or unwavering support. My puppies and dogs speak for themselves, and all I ask is for you to trust me and love your dog wholeheartedly. I’m here to support you and your dog in any way I can, without being overbearing or trying to control every aspect of your journey.

Life happens, and eventually, things will go wrong. When they do, know that I am still here, committed to both of you. I pour my heart and soul into each breeding, meticulously planning and hoping to create the best dogs possible. But there are no perfect dogs, and as a breeder, I can’t predict the future—though sometimes I wish I could. Being labeled as a “bad breeder” is one of my greatest fears, especially if I am blamed for something beyond my control.

The internet can make it easy to believe that any issue you see in your dog is genetic. For example, one of my own dogs had a leg injury. When I asked her surgeon if it was genetic, he said there might be a genetic factor. Yet this injury has never been seen in her pedigree, despite that line being bred and cross repeated multiple times. She was just the unlucky one, with a random injury. Jumping off a 6+ foot staircase at full speed onto solid ground probably had more to do with it than anything genetic.

Sometimes things happen that are truly outside our control, and I know that no Google search will ever cover all the complexities involved. As pet owners, we do our best, but sometimes things go wrong even with the best care and management. Just as I don’t blame owners for unexpected issues, I hope for the same understanding on my end.

We’re all learning, growing, and caring deeply for these dogs. Blame doesn’t help anyone; it’s our shared dedication and love for these dogs that matters most.

Pickle! 🐾 This boy is such a blast! 🎉 I haven’t entered any of the preshows since I’ve been busy figuring out the logistics for the dock. Pickle wasn’t entered in anything either, as I didn’t expect to still have him at this point. But guess what? He’s still here and looking for his forever home! 🏡❤️ #AvailableDog #ForeverHomeNeeded #PickleTheAussie #FunBoy #DockDivingLife

Pickle & Marco Playing: Saucer Swing

🌟 Puppy Development on the Saucer Swing!🌟 At Ausdauer, our puppies are getting valuable experience on the hanging, moving saucer swing. Here’s why it’s so important: •Balance & Coordination: The swing helps puppies develop essential physical skills as they navigate the wobbly surface. •Confidence: Tackling the swing boosts their confidence, preparing them to face new challenges. •Problem-Solving: The puppies learn to think through how to stabilize themselves—a key mental skill. •Sensory Exposure: The motion desensitizes them to different surfaces, making them more adaptable. •Social Interaction: When shared, the swing enhances their social skills with littermates. These activities are part of our commitment to raising well-rounded, confident dogs ready for their future homes. 🐾

Sleepy Boys! 💤 These little champs have been handling vacuum sounds like pros! 🧹 I've been vacuuming with them in the room, and they've taken it all in stride. They've also been introduced to the dremel sound the past two days and haven't batted an eye. Today, they experienced the hair dryer on a low setting—both the noise and a gentle blow across their backs. Plus, we did “sponge baths” this morning after their meal. Early exposure to grooming is key! 🛁 Once the puppies hit 4 weeks, we’ll start the full bath and grooming process at least once a week (usually more because puppies love to get dirty). This is to set them up for success, even though we only have them for a short period. Weekly grooming is essential: brushing with a comb to get down to the skin and trimming nails. This routine should continue after they go to their new homes—it's necessary and makes life easier in the long run, avoiding any grooming battles. ✂️ Stay tuned: They might outgrow this box by the end of the week, and if they do, we'll make it bigger! I'm also planning to set up the swing by this weekend. I'll be keeping an eye on the weather to see when they can go outside for the first time. 🌞🐾 More adventures to come! 🐶
