Sassy and Hiccup 7/29/2025 | Arena Valley Acres

Sassy

Sassy has been amazing! This is her first litter and she has been an outstanding mother. She is a happy, happy, bouncy dog. Sassy never has a bad day. Sassy weighs 35 lbs.

Sassy and Hiccup had their first litter on 7/29/2025. There are ten puppies, five girls and five boys to choose from. The puppies should weigh around 20 to 35lbs

Hiccup

Hiccup is an ASDR Toy Australian Shepherd. He runs on the large size of the Toy standards and would be considered a small mini Aussie. Hiccup has the most wonderful temperament; his antics and goofy personality make me laugh daily.

Updates

Time has gotten away from me. The puppies are thriving! They are 7 weeks old and getting ready to go to their new homes. (we still have a few available). The last few weeks have been spent working on climbing stairs, manners, recall, noise stimuli, introduction to cats, children, big dogs, car rides, visiting the vet for a health check and much more.

This pretty sable girl is the smallest puppy in the litter. She has a very calm temperament and likes to watch the world around her but is playful. She likes to chatter back at me when I am talking with her. She is an absolute doll.

The smallest male in the litter. He is a sable phantom and has wonderful markings. His temperament is a lot like his sister who looks like him, calm and sweet.

Female Four: Red Tri, $1750, Reserved, Dillion, Brentwood, CA.

Right now this pretty girls eyes are blue. I am not sure they will stay that color and may change to a amber green. She has a stunning deep chocolate coat with copper highlights and white tipped toes. I love her playful temperament and how she likes to hang out with me for cuddles.
