Australian Shepherd Parent Pack: Bella, Maverick & Ranger
Puppy Pack #1 was bred by Bella and Ranger — a mostly merle and blue-eyed litter of Australian Shepherd puppies. Puppy Packs #2 & #3 were bred by Bella and Maverick, and we can't wait to see how cute this last litter will be!
Our Australian Shepherd parent pack lives in Panama City Beach, FL and is only 4 blocks away from St. Andrew's Bay, which means our pups get plenty of exercise at the beach and in our large backyard.
The three of them play very well together, although their personalities can be distinguishable at times, they are all extremely active and love to play fetch with balls and sticks, and love a good tug-of-war time with one another or the humans.
BELLA
Bella is a red bi-color, AKA and ASDR-registered female with a smooth medium-long coat and light brown eyes. She was born on February 21, 2019 to a litter of 7 females and 4 males. She does not have her tail docked, which means she did not qualify for AKC registration, even though her DNA tests show she is a pure-bred Australian Shepherd. Bella is the smartest of my 3 Aussies, probably because she's the oldest. She was extremely easy to train, and I'm still able to teach her new tricks at almost 4 years old. She is very protective of me, will alert me by barking if anyone gets near our house, but will make friends with any human or dog.
RANGER
Walker Texas Ranger is a blue merle w/ tan markings and dark brown eyes, and was born on February 2, 2021. He was the sire of Bella's first litter, born on February 3, 2022 — a mostly blue-eyed and merle litter. He is not registered, we were unable to obtain official registration papers from his breeder. However, we've applied for a hardship registration with ASDR, as his DNA test came back showing pure Australian Shepherd, as we expected. He is a big momma's boy, hardly every leaving my side, he love to cuddle up. His agility is impeccable and has been easy to train and teach new exercises.
MAVERICK
Dallas Maverick is a red merle w/ tan markings and light blue eyes, and was born on August 20, 2021. He is the sire of Bella's second litter born on September 6, 2022 and her third and final litter due on April 5, 2023. He is AKC and ASDR dual registered as a pure bred Australian Shepherd. Mav is the youngest of my Aussies, and still has puppy energy and playful disposition. He's been learning new tricks lately, now that his energy is starting to become more focused. He's been sweet with his puppies when allowed around them by Bella — and even plays with them and lets him crawl on them.
