From the moment he was born, Scorpion stood out as the clear pick male from our Toga × Gemma litter, carrying the unmistakable hallmarks of both parents. We are endlessly grateful to Gemma's owner, Serena Ford of Hazelridge Aussies, for entrusting us with Gemma for this special cross and for her commitment to loving, raising, and supporting this promising young dog. Scorpion is everything we hoped for in this pairing and so much more.
He is the full package of structure, type, and personality. Scorpion boasts a classic Aussie headpiece, a solid and correct topline, and an impressive, ground-covering side gait that catches your eye the moment he steps into motion. His expression is one of his best features, with soft, sweet eyes that perfectly complement his goofy, lovable personality that always finds a way to make you laugh.
Scorpion earned his AKC Championship in limited showing, finishing before his second birthday with a major from the Bred-By Exhibitor class under respected judge Eva Berg. His success in the breed ring has only reinforced what we saw in him from the day he was born, and we couldn't be more proud of everything he has accomplished in such a short time.
Outside of the conformation ring, Scorpion has truly found his passion in performance events. Under the training and guidance of Carrie Klaiber of Gatehouse Mastiffs, he has flourished across multiple venues, earning titles in barn hunt, coursing, and more. Of all his activities, dock diving has quickly become his favorite, where his enthusiasm, athleticism, and sheer joy are on full display every time he hits the water. True to his Mortal Kombat-inspired name, Scorpion brings a "flawless victory" attitude to everything he does. His versatility, drive, and love for work exemplify the kind of dual-purpose Australian Shepherd we strive to produce.
Now back home in Maryland with his owner, Serena Ford of Hazelridge Aussies, Scorpion will be completing his final health testing before beginning his stud career. He will be available to approved, health-tested bitches via natural service, fresh chilled semen, or frozen semen.
Looking ahead, we are excited to watch Scorpion and Serena continue exploring a wide variety of performance sports together while also leaving the door open for a return to the conformation ring to pursue his Grand Championship. We are incredibly proud of Scorpion and grateful to Serena for her partnership, dedication, and friendship. We look forward to seeing all that this special boy accomplishes in the years to come.
