Hickory
Hickory is a stunning black tri bundle with a tricolor coat already hinting at the classic Miniature Australian Shepherd beauty he'll grow into! This little guy comes from fantastic mini parents. He's still in his earliest weeks, which means you'll get to experience all those precious puppy milestones as he discovers the world around him. Imagine him bounding across your backyard, herding imaginary sheep with the signature Aussie intensity, or curling up beside you after a day of play and exploration. Hickory comes with ASDR registration papers, his tail docked, and his dew claws removed. He is ready to become your loyal companion and bring endless joy to your home!
***Dogs may change color naturally as they mature due to many factors such as genetics, hair type, losing puppy fur and changing to the adult coat, pigmentation, hormonal changes, seasonal changes, shaving, etc. Color changes are expected and can occur quickly and at any time. We cannot guarantee a dog's permanent coat color for these reasons.
