About Forge

Breeding

Forge was produced by Masters Midwest Australian Shepherds (MMA) in Missouri, USA. We welcomed Forge at a year and half of age, and can’t wait to see what he adds to our program!

Structure

Forge has a lovely structure. He has excellent angulation, in particular turn of stifle which is often lacking in the breed. He has excellent reach and drive, a full coat, and masculine head.

Color

Forge is a blue merle bicolor, with minimal white. He has one copy of dominant black (solid / bicolor) on the K-locus, so can produce puppies without tan points with any bitch he is put to. He generally produces puppies with little / moderate white.

Personality

Forge has a loving and goofy temperament, and we are undertaking assistance dog work with him. He is calm in all environments and focused on his handler. When not working he is a clown and loves to play! He has an excellent off-switch, settling perfectly out and about or at home.

Activities

Forge is a clean slate! He has not taken part in any activities before coming to us and we are excited to let try him at a range of performance sports to see what he enjoys.
We will likely begin with rally obedience, FastCat and some light conformation shows with him over the next year.
