Please review the process for obtaining a pup from Hoffman Forest Acres on our Client Questionnaire page and to be added to our waitlist upon approval. There is currently no cost to be added to our waitlist. Once approved, you will be notified and added to our contact list. Once a litter is available based on your specifications, we will contact you to move forward. 

"All of our dogs are owned as family members and are cherished from the time they come to us. Some may go to guardian homes with our own trusted families from time to time, but rarely. We own all of our dogs (males and females) so that we are able to make breeding decisions based on traits and temperaments that compliment each of the pairings we decide on while raising the dog. It is true that waitlists are becoming a thing of the past, since dogs are always "available" from some higher volume breeders, (but ours) will definitely be worth every second of the wait. You will have longevity, personality, unconditional love and health. We also offer lifetime health guarantee in our contract with no catches. This is because we thoroughly test our dams and sires to ensure no debilitating diseases with our puppies' that could affect their quality of life (and yours). Genetic test results, extensive pedigrees, and temperament descriptions are available on each dog's profile. You can also view our dogs on social media via the various content we post raising, training, and loving our dogs and showing off their temperaments and unique traits that make them special.

We do believe that God gave us dogs to bring us joy to us while we are still on this earth, and they are a reminder of His unconditional love. God has a purpose for all of his creation, too. I believe that today's dog's purpose is people. What a beautiful gift to us, that these animals, have grown to love us so. So then they are to be cherished and cared for."

Planned

BORDER COLLIES - 2025 SOUP MIX LITTER

2025 “SOUP MIX” ABCA BORDER COLLIE LITTER is currently being planned. These babies could be small to mini Border Collies (the smaller they are the better agility prospect they have!) . Oakley and Odie have been full panel health tested via PawPrints genetics, GenSol (for NAD) and Embark and clear. Odie is a CEA carrier only, not affected. 

These pups should be smaller, mini size. Estimating between 18 and 30 pounds. 

Based on BOTH parents' temperaments, these dogs will be extremely agile, fearless, obedient, energetic with a medium herding drive, very biddable and very eager to please with excellent off switches. They will easily learn tricks, tasks, and partake in any activity with you. They would make amazing agility prospects, and will most likely be on the smaller side. They will be naturally people friendly and gentle with children or smaller dogs at play. Oakley is one of the smartest dog's I have ever owned. She is clever and has a sense of humor. I compare her intelligence to that of a 4 year old child. Seriously. The dog is a genius! If you are seeking an active family oriented collie for companionship, agility or sport, a pup from this litter would be your best bet. If you don't make the waitlist for this breeding, you will be placed on the next breeding. 3 spots still available for this breeding. 

It is imperative to join our waitlist if you are interested, so that we can make breeding decisions based on demand for our pups.

Toy/Mini Aussies - 2025 Skip to My Rue Litter

2025 Skip to My Rue Litter ~ Dually registered with AKC/ASDR

Heath Testing is currently underway for Gracelyn Rue girl who came to HFA from New Market. She is full panel tested and clear (MDR1 Carrier) via Canine Health Check. We are still awaiting her Embark results (for coi and pairing analysis) and her GenSol (NAD testing results) but I have no concerns. Shadow, who is pairing with her, is also full panel tested and clear of everything. She has already had a beautiful litter of pups, so this would be her second breeding later in the year. She is a blue merle with a harlequin look with a long silky straighter coat. She has amazing conformation and a very traditional Aussie look. She is very charming and easy going. She is highly obedient and biddable. She has learned her way around HFA (Including Tricks) very quickly. She is one of the best tempered dogs, not one ounce of fear or aggression. This dear is such a soft and loving soul. She loves all of the other Aussies we own and enjoys playing with kids and not shy of strangers. She is a "family" dog, being that she does not favor one person over the other. It was a blessing to have found such a wonderful girl for our program with such an amazing temperament, and that opportunity not to pass us! 

Rue is currently showing in conformation to compete for her championship titles! She will likely show later this spring before her second breeding. After a temperament analysis of both parents' traits, Shadow is A PERFECT pairing for her.  Shadow is minimal white black tri with a long flashy and silky straight coat! With this pairing we will have lots of variation of coat color as well. I love the long silky coat traits as they are SO easy to maintain and shedding seems to be less. Shadow is an extremely laid back boy. He is a lap dog. Anytime anyone sits down, he goes straight to the lap! Shadow is VERY affectionate, loyal, and eager to please (as is Rue). He is fearless and is the ultimate companion. He wants to be wherever his favorite people are at all times. He loves people and animals of all kinds. He also enjoys and excels at agility and tricks and enjoys playing (especially in water). He is brilliant to say the least. When he was a baby, he was the first at everything. The first to waddle, the first to open his eyes, and the first to seek human interaction. He is very intuitive and sensitive to human emotion. We held Shadow back for our program because of his temperament and unique characteristics. He scored as "the perfect dog" on his Volhard Puppy Aptitude Test (PAT), which he has turned out to be just that! He will complement any female we pair him with but this paring with Rue will be VERY special!

We will be holding a puppy back from this litter as well (a third generation HFA Male) which will be future paired to a female that we hold back from one of Mickey and Delilah's breedings. SO EXCITED!! 

These babies could be small, medium or large toys. Possibly 11" - 15" weighing 10 - 22 pounds (est). If they hit 15" in height, you can also show with AKC, if you would rather do so, with full registration rights. This litter will be both AKC and ASDR registered. They will likely be the perfect companions, fearless, completely suitable for emotional support, service animal work, for people of all ages, travel or any activity/endeavor you plan for them! If you want a very sweet puppy who will adore you and your family and be an obedient, obedient, obedient (did I say obedient?), easy to train, and loyal 'family' dog... a pup from this litter is your best bet. These pups (if larger) could also be canidates for working livestock which we usually don't promote with our toys, but Rue is higher drive and exhibits a stronger herding instinct. Shadow is medium drive. With that said, this littler will be docked, unless otherwise requested to leave the tail in tact.  If you don't make the waitlist for this breeding, you will be placed on the next breeding. 3 spots still available for this breeding. Remaining pups after waitlist picks will be listed.

TOY AUSSIES - 2026 MAGICAL LOVE LITTER

2026 “MAGICAL LOVE LITTER” ASDR/AKC TOY AUSSIES is currently being planned.

These pups come from champion bloodlines. Our parent dogs compete in show with champion titles or earning champion titles prior to breeding. 

Both parents have been full panel tested via GenSol (for NAD) and via Embark and both are clear. Delilah is a NAD carrier only, not affected.

These babies could be smaller toys between 11 to 13 inches (est) and between 7 to 18 pounds (est).

Based on parents' temperaments, these pups will be amazing. Just. amazing. Delilah is the perfect dog, in every way. She is highly intelligent, fearless, people oriented, eager to please, extremely affectionate, VERY focused, endearing, and silly. She gets along with people and animals alike. She loves to love you and to please you. She has a big heart, and loves to be spoiled and coddled. She is a little drama queen. She expects to be treated as if she is a child (and yes, we are guilty of spoling her to this extent!). She is lower energy, but ready for any activity you have planned for her. She is one of the best dogs I have ever owned. She stole my heart completely with her phenomenal human-like personality. She excels with tricks and self occupies very well. She LOVES to dance. Girls' got some moves! Check her out on our social media pages. As for conformation, she is perfect. Perfect ear set, nice almond eyes, great bone, great muscle, great balance, beautiful coat, perfect bite, and her gate is amazing. In her very first show ever (at 12 weeks of age), she won best in class, best female, and best of breed.. If we didn't have to leave the show early, she could have easily won best in show. Hopefully next time!! We have decided that Mickey will be her sire. We very carefully selected him based on generations of proven temperament within his bloodlines. Mickey's traits will compliment Delilah to a t. He is robust, eager to please from a very young age, very people friendly and outgoing, very playful and affectionate. He will have great conformation just like his parents'. Great head, muscle density, bone, bite, and eye set. He is already displaying a symmetrical gate and remarkable balance as a puppy. He, too, will excel in show. If you are looking for a very well rounded Aussie, with a traditional look in a smaller package, a pup from this litter will be your best bet. I also expect this litter to have a low herding/prey drive and just the right amount of energy. The personality of this litter will simply be magical. 0 spots available for this breeding. If you don't make the waitlist for this breeding, you will be contacted and placed on the next or a different breeding of your choice.

(Note, you can still specify an interest in this breeding as some people could pass on a pup (if for instance the gender they want is not available, deciding not to wait this long, or the dam has more than 4 puppies). This pairing will also occur again, after Delilah recovers fully and is cleared by the vet.

TOY AUSSIES - 2026 or 2027 ROYALTY LITTER

2026 “ROYALTY LITTER” ASDR/AKC TOY AUSSIES is currently being planned.

These pups come from champion bloodlines. Our parent dogs compete in show with champion titles or earning champion titles prior to breeding. 

Both parents have been full panel tested via GenSol (for NAD) and via Embark. Both parents are clear of everything, including NAD. Testing via PawPrints Genetics will also be conducted prior to the first pairing.

These babies could range from small to larger toys between 11 to 15 inches (est) and between 9 and 25 pounds (est).

Based on parents' temperaments, these pups will be little characters to say the very least. Cassie is a very loving and gentle dog, great with other dogs/animals and young children. She is highly intelligent, easy to train, obedient and very eager to please, extremely affectionate, and calm. She loves to be babied. Like her full sister (Delilah), she is focused and absolutely endearing, but she is far more observant and less curious. Her loyalty is through the roof, far beyond that of any dog I have ever owned. Cassie is definitely a "shepherd's shadow". She also self occupies very well, as long as she is by your side. She is VERY ONE PERSON oriented. She picks one person in her family (me!) to give most of her affection and loyalty to, which is a trait common to the Aussie breed -- however, some Aussies display this trait more than others. She possesses more of this trait than any of our other dogs. She loves to go anywhere I go, including traveling. She is a great little travel companion, even if its just up the road to the local Tractor Supply Co or an hour away to the farm.

As for conformation, she is perfect. Perfect ear set, nice almond eyes, great bone, great muscle, great balance, beautiful coat, perfect bite, and her gate is amazing. In her very first show with her previous owner, she earned the title of an International Puppy Champion through the International Canine Kennel Club. She does come from international lines. She has a lot of confidence in her walk as well. We currently believe River will compliment her very well, as he is extremely outgoing and people oriented. River is also very loyal and polite. River has a silly and adorable personality, and is also very eager to please. River is very curious, and has a lot of confidence. If you are looking for an extremely loyal life companion and want a dog to accompany "you" day-to-day with a calm and gentle demeanor that loves to be babied and coddled, a pup from this litter is your best bet. Pups from this breeding could be excellent candidates for service or emotional support for their human. These puppies are likely to always have a forever puppy-face with big puppy dog eyes, even as adults. :)  If you don't make the waitlist for this breeding, you will be notified and placed on the next breeding. 4 spots still available for this breeding.

BORDER COLLIES - 2026 or 2027 LITTLE STARS LITTER

2026 “LITTLE STARS” ABCA BORDER COLLIE LITTER is currently being planned. These collies should be smaller to medium in size. Kallie and Odie have been full panel health tested via Embark and GenSol (NAD) and clear. Odie is a CEA carrier only, not affected. 

These pups should be smaller, mini size. Estimating between 20 and 35 pounds. 

Based on parents' temperaments, these dogs will be agile, athletic, fearless, obedient, energetic with a high herding drive, biddable, polite, playful, and very eager to please. They will easily learn tricks, tasks, and partake in any activity with you. They will excel with herding, agility, and obedience and will have a higher drive. They will be naturally people friendly and gentle, but may favor one person in the family. Odie balances this because he favors anyone who wants to interact with him. Kallie and Odie are both very affectionate. Kallie likes to watch everything you do and wait for commands. She is clever and also has a sense of humor. One of her favorite games is hide and seek with our daughters. She also tries to herd everything, even the other Collies. I compare her intelligence to that of a 3 year old child. Kallie loves people and is very sensitive to human emotion. We are planning for her to go into a therapy dog program after her training is complete. If you are seeking a tentative, loyal, family oriented, motivated and playful dog for companionship or work/herding, a pup from this litter would be your best bet. If you don't make the waitlist for this breeding, you will be notified and placed on the next breeding. 6 spots are still available for this breeding.

TOY AUSSIES Winter Wonder Litter - Late 2027

This breeding will include our very own, Shadow as the sire, paired with a minimal white blue merle female Winter. Shadow is minimal white black tri with a long silky and shiny coat! Winter has a long fluffy and silky coat. With this pairing we will have lots of variation with coat coloration and minimal white. It will be super fun to see the outcome and how beautiful and wonderful these babies will be! Shadow is an extremely laid back boy. He is a lap dog. Anytime anyone sits down, he goes straight to the lap! Shadow is VERY affectionate, loyal, and eager to please. He is fearless and is the ultimate companion. He wants to be wherever his favorite people are at all times. He loves people and animals of all kinds. Winter is very much the same as shadow and will complement him nicely. Shadow and Winter enjoy and excels at agility and tricks and enjoys playing. He is brilliant to say the least. When he was a baby, he was the first at everything. The first to waddle, the first to open his eyes, and the first to seek human interaction. He is very intuitive. We held Shadow back for our program because of his temperament and unique characteristics. He will complement any female we pair him with! He will be future paired with a female that we hold back from one of Mickey and Delilah's litters. Additionally, he will be bred with Winter -- she is a fabulous laid back dog with a genuinely soft demeanor. She seeks attention from you as if there is no tomorrow. I have NEVER see a dog this calm before. She simply lays on the table at the vet's, not bothered one bit, not shaking at all, and completely content while getting shots, stool samples, exams, and even grooming starting at just 9 weeks of age. At home she is lively, playful and exbibits no fear what so ever. She is curious. She loves the company of the other dogs and gets along with them remarkably well. They also love to play with her (especially chase me games). She is going to be super special and I am so excited to see her grow up and to share that experience with others on our social media platforms. You will simply be amazed by her beauty. She has it all. Looks and personality (and temperament). Waitlist is open for this breeding. 

For size pups should be between 10 and 13" and under 15 pounds est. 

Both parents are full panel clear, including NAD. Very low COI. Highly diverse lines.
