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. Please read below then scroll down to our planning breedings section....

"All of our dogs are owned as family members and are cherished from the time they come to us. Some go to guardian homes within our own trusted families from time to time, but rarely. We own all of our babies (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. 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 and health. We also offer lifetime health guarantee in our contract with no catches. This is because we thoroughly test our dams and sires and ensure no debilitating diseases that could affect their quality of life (and yours). Full Panel test result, extensive pedigrees, and temperament qualities are available on each dog's profile. 

Sadly, but not often, we do have to rehome dogs from our program who do not meet our standards in health or temperament. I never want our families or other breeders to have to go through what we have been through when buying puppies. We have had great experiences and also not so great experiences. Unfortunately many people put profit before the best interest of the dog. That is NOT our story.

We also believe that God gave us animals to us to bring us joy while we are still on this earth and as a reminder of the unconditional love that he has for us. God has a purpose for all of his creation. I believe dog's are meant to be with people. Therefore, we do not discriminate against anyone who wants a dog as a beloved and blessed companion. Love of this animal and trust in God conquers any worry you may have. Turn all of that over to The Lord.

We do simply ask that if you have any condition that may inhibit your ability to care for your puppy by yourself, that you would find assistance or consider an alternative for your pup. We believe that people are good and love brings out the very best in others willing to help. We will also always take back a puppy no questions asked during the lifetime of the puppy. You also have our FOREVER support.

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. NOTE: We will have a gender preference, but not all families will be guaranteed that gender. Please check out our content on instagram and facebook.

Toy Aussies - 2025 Skip to My Rue Litter

We have added a breeding for 2025! Dually registered with AKC/ASDR "

Heath Testing is currently underway for Rue girl who came to HFA from New Market. She is clear by parentage, but we still conduct our own health testing (Full Panel and NAD). She has already had a beautiful litter of pups with amazing temperaments and pretty as can be, so this would be her second breeding. She is a unique harlequin merle, with an amazing calm and sweet demeanor, and we already adore her. She is highly obedient and biddable. She found her place with us immediately and is such a soft and loving soul. She is currently showing in conformation! Shadow will be the sire. A PERFECT pairing indeed. She has amazing conformation and a very traditional Aussie look with a long fluffier silky coat. Shadow is minimal white black tri with a long flatter silky and shiny coat! With this pairing we will have lots of variation of coat coloration and beautiful texttile. It will be super fun to see the outcome and how beautiful 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 (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. 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. Rue is also very intuitive to your needs. We held Shadow back for our program because of his temperament and unique characteristics. He will complement any female we pair him with but his paring with Rue will be super special! He will also be future paired with a female that we hold back from one of Mickey and Delilah's litters. Additionally, he will be paired with Winter (a minimal white blue merle) projected for 2027.  So he will be the star of our little show over here and this will be our first 2nd line generational breeding. These babies could be small, medium or large. Possibly 11" - 15" weighing 10 - 22 pounds (est). If they hit 15", you can also show with AKC. They will likely be the perfect companion, fearless, completely suitable for emotional support, 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 completely and be an obedient, beautiful, and loyal family dog, a pup from this litter is your best bet. These pups are also canidates for working livestock which we usually don't promote with out toys. With that said, this littler will be docked.  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.

Current Waitlist: 4 (FULL)

(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 HOUNDINI LITTER

2027 “HOUNDINI LITTER” ASDR 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 PawPrints (sire). Both parents are clear of everything under the moon. 

These babies should be between 12 to 14 inches (est) and between 9 and 20 pounds (est).

Based on parents' temperaments, these pups will be amazing. Both parents have very similar temperaments and will compliment each other very nicely. Meadow is a very friendly and nurturing little dog. She is highly intelligent. Her intelligence ranks up there with our Border Collies. She has a very unique, almost human-like personality in the ways she interacts with you through a range of vocalizations. Neither parents' are excessive barkers, but Meadow does "talk" to you which is incredibly cute. She is very focused and listens to every word you say, turning her head from side to side, then she will make a noise back as if she is having conversation with you. She also "smiles". Who doesn't love a smiling dog! She is one of the most obedient dogs we have, along with River. Meadow is medium drive, so these pups will have a higher energy level and likely will enjoy partaking in games of fetch, chase, tricks, obedience, and agility well into adulthood. Meadow is natural care taker. She is very observant of human and dog emotion. This is a very unique and highly treasured personality trait that not every dog has. Many dogs that have this trait, go onto becoming service, emotional support, or therapy dogs, especially those as obedient as Meadow and River combined. Both River and Meadow are fearless. They are outgoing, loyal, and eager to please. They are both very family and people oriented dogs. As for conformation, Meadow has an excellent build, great head, nice eye set, great ears and an even gate. River is finer boned and leggy, which gives him more of an agile edge. Meadow is also "leggier". Their pups could easily excel as trick dogs or in agility. Both parents have flatter coats (less fluff). Their offspring will have a diverse coloration of red and hazel or blue eyes with or without ticking. They will be VERY pretty puppies with BIG personality. If you are seeking a playful, confident, people loving, mellow tempered, high spirited puppy, with an amazing balance of "Aussiness", a pup from this litter will be your best bet. These puppies are likely to always have a 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.

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. These puppies are likely to always have a 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 - 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. We are only opening 3 spots due to the smaller size of the female (she could have less pups). 

For size pups should be between 10 and 12" and under 12 pounds (most likely under 10 pounds) est. 

Shadow is full panel clear, including NAD. 

Winter is still undergoing HFA's health testing, even though cleared by parentage.
