Tinker Bell is the result of many years planning, searching, and waiting for the perfect working line pup to add to our family. A huge part of my goals as a breeder includes maintaining strong herding instinct and working drive in our MAS / Mini Aussies. There are some really spectacular bloodlines that have already been brought into minis that maintains this standard. But unfortunately, there are not that many left who are not fairly closely related or heavily line bred due to the limited availability of those dog in the mini gene pool. In order to ensure our programs genetics are not being bottlenecked, it has long been my goal to bring in a pure, working line, Australian Shepherd female to our program so we can ensure those treasured lines, with superior drive and instinct, remain close up in our dogs genetics without heavily inbreeding to maintain it. This will take some of the pressure off future pairings as well, since bringing in a fresh line means we can revisit some of the tried and true, more common herding line minis that are already available. I have long wished for the perfect puppy to come along from a true working line breeder. After carefully selecting a breeder who works their dogs on their cattle ranch daily, and whose lines combine several HOF kennels, providing proven high drive working instinct, I am finally very grateful for the opportunity to welcome Tinker Bell into our family from the Boyd Ranch program in Texas. Her pedigree is filled from top to bottom with gritty, real life working dogs, with multiple generations of HOF and WTCH titles. I'm so excited for this girl to start her sports career, but in the meantime, we have lots of fun puppy adventures and growing up to do!
