HC Hawkeye "Hawk"
ABCA #542166
DOB: 7/11/2023
Red and White Male
Rough Coat
Weight: 38lbs
Hawk is a working bred male that shows a ton of drive and grit. Loves to work stock! Both parents work cattle and his sire both does ranch work and trials. He has a goofy, playful personality and is a joy to be with. He loves to snuggle too which I love. I have high hopes that he is going to be a great producer of both working and sport prospects. We looked for quite a while for a male that checked all of our boxes. Thor has put up a very high bar to meet over the last decade plus. I think he will be an excellent cross on our Thor daughters.
He is clear for the Border Collie panel and will have his OFAs done in July.

(RETIRED from breeding.) Tae is probably our strongest working female. She has a ton of ability, natural outrun, and will work all day if you let her. She also is an absolute sweetheart who loves everyone she meets, especially babies and toddlers. She searches them out and melts with their “rough love”. Tae and Thor pups are medium to high drive and have made incredible herding dogs, sport dogs - especially agility and dock diving, and many best friends. We have two Thor x Tae pups in our home and they are wonderful! We couldn't imagine our lives without them!

Louise is our lowest drive female. She still has good natural herding ability, but she really just wants to be a part of whatever it is we are doing. She prefers to work the sheep/goats and also likes to herd the cats 🐈 🐈⬛ (who just ignore her) and chickens. She loves people and snuggles. Loves adventures but also happy to lay around if we are just home. Gets along well with other dogs. A favorite of everyone she meets with her sweet spirit. Her pups with Thor are thriving in a variety of dog sports, as a little bit softer herding dogs for owners that don't want as much drive and grit, goose control, service and therapy dogs, adventure buddies and active family companions.

Daisy is such a fun girl who has our highest toy drive. She loves working on agility and picks up on things so quickly! She also loves the frisbee! She is a busy girl that just wants to be a part of whatever it is we are doing. She will work any of the livestock, big or small, and her favorite spot in the car is the passenger seat if empty so she can watch the road.
