Our Australian Shepherds
UKC BIS mRBIS GrCHE Sky Creek Go Forth Have No Fear CD RN URO3 CGC TKI
Renegade is the total package - handsome, loyal, biddable, goofy, loveable and will excitedly accept pets from anyone. He’s a favorite for spectators at dog shows as he will happily clean anyone’s face and lean into their ear scratches. He has a promising future in the obedience/rally ring and we will hope to finish his AKC Championship, as well as his UKC Grand Championship. My son has been using him for Jr Showmanship. He loves water and we hope to explore dock diving in the future, as well! Owned by Kaity Sevits

Ironwood’s Everyone Loves Queso
And it’s true! Everyone loves this charmer! Queso is out of Cinch x Stella - a full sibling to our beloved Laredo. Just like her sister, I don’t think Aussie’s get any more laid back and chill. She’s always up for an adventure, but ever since puppyhood, this girl requires almost nothing to be happy except a little bit of petting and cuddling. She is a beautiful mover and moderate.

JJ’s One Stellar Kowgirl
Stella is another very classy Aussie girl. She is fairly stout, medium-heavy in bone and body yet maintains extremely feminine features. She is very intelligent and always watches and observes before taking action. She is extremely low maintenance but looks forward to our adventures through the pastures and hikes. Moderate-heavy bone and body, medium drive, low-medium energy. Owned by Janine Sevits

UKC CH Ironwood’s Bringing In The Cavvy CD RA URO2 SPOT-ON
Cavvy is a red tri daughter of our Dale Evans and outside male UKC CH IntCh NaBa IntBa HnrBa Sky Creek Captain America CGCA TKN. She is not lacking in personality and shows great promise in many venues. She’s got plenty of drive, very attentive, astute learner, could be part fish and has the nose of a hound! She is the salon favorite amongst my employees at my dog grooming salon. While she is a bit weary of strangers, give her some space and time and she’ll lay on the charm as she does with everyone.

Retired at Ironwood Ridge
JKS Rusty Ole Chassie
Chassie earned her retirement after 4 litters. If it were up to her, she would have had 20 more. She is a very motherly and protective dogs and still is to her human kiddos and any puppies other mamas will allow her to love on. She is a drivey girl, has all kinds of work ethic, but loves to cuddle on the couch or in bed at the end of the day. We are forever grateful to her loyal companionship and everything else she has given and continues to give to our family!
IWR Dottie’s Western Delite
Dottie had a couple beautiful litters of wonderful babies but ultimately, motherhood was not her thing. With her best interest in mind, we decided to retire Miss Dottie and while we miss her dearly, she is living the life every dog dreams of with the Laughlin Family in Arizona!
Ironwood’s Queen of the West
Dale Evans will go down in history as the sweetest dog ever. Daughter of Dallas and Cinch, she was everything we wanted in an Aussie. Loyal to the core, intelligent and thoughtful, always up for an adventure but at the end of the day, happy with a couch to lay on. Dale is retired with Kaity’s brother and sister in law in Oklahoma with another Ironwood Ridge Aussie, Rocky.
Ironwood’s Pardon the Rust
Bird is one of our homegrown beauties. She was produced in our last Chassie x Concho litter in 2018. While extremely lovable and cuddly, this girl is fun & gritty. She’ll go from couch potato to taking on the bulls with tenacity, just to return to her couch as soon as the job is done. She is wickedly athletic, full of stamina loyal to the core and eager to please. She is living a well-deserved retirement with a family local to us and has begun her performance career, as well as showing in Altered Conformation in UKC. She recently won a Best in Show Altered!
JJ’s Loretta Kountry Kowgirl
Loretta is classyand yet the biggest goofball that ever existed in dog form. She is all about having a good time! She bounces and bucks, falls to the ground and jumps back up again. Her enthusiasm for life is unfaltering. She is loyal, loves to be with her people and is always up for an adventure. She is living with her favorite human and owner, Janine Sevits, in her retirement.
Always in our Hearts…
UKC GrCH Ironwood’s Don’t Let Her Go
Lara (or Laredo) is a beautiful girl out of Stella & Cinch. She earned her name when she turned about 6 weeks old - Janine and I looked at each other before we started the selection process and said “we can’t let her go!” We tragically lost her at just shy of 18 months to a very rare cancer. In her short life, she accomplished so much and helped me achieve goals I never knew I had. She was also the first dog my son took around the ring in UKC Juniors PeeWee - she always took care of him.
JJ’s Concho River Cowboy
Gone entirely too soon, we will miss this goofball everyday. He stamped his puppies with his lovable aloofness, athletic ability and gentle soul. RIP Concho <3
Double J’s Rowdy Lady
Gracie has raised some of the kindest, most gentle and loyal puppies in her time. She was a great mama dog but she spent the last several of her years to focus on her main role around here - bossin’. She was definitely the boss lady around here and kept all the animals (and sometimes people) in line! We loved her enthusiasm for life and work. Fun story - When she was about 4 years old, she got her bottom front teeth kicked out by a horse. They were wired back in by the vet only to get kicked out by a cow the very next day. Needless to say, she didn’t have very many teeth. Thank you for 13 amazing years, Gracie! Rest easy <3
JJ’s Dallas Kowgirl
Dallas was quite the companion, working dog and family member. The Sevits Family felt robbed as she passed at just 9 years old from complications with a tick borne illness that became much too advanced for veterinary staff and our hearts to handle. Dallas loved her family, especially her two little human girls, Claira and Evie. She is sorely missed by anyone that knew her. We know watching the gates of heaven, just like she watched the gates on the farm. RIP Dallas
JJ Cinch Em Up Cowboy
The Ironwood Ridge Family said goodbye to our most beloved Cinch Summer 2024 at 14.5 years old. Our hearts will never be the same without him around. He was truly a gentleman of a dog - he protected his family fiercly but was welcoming to any friendly face. He was quick to perform his favorite tricks for adoring fans. He will be sorely missed on our horse rides. Any cowgirl and cowboy knows how good those dogs are; the ones that will cross any mountain alongside you, swim through any river to keep up. Cinch was that kind of loyalty. We know he is reuinited with his one true love, Gracie, in heaven. You gave so many families a piece of you in their puppies. We are proud to have several daughters, granddaughters and great granddaughters still our program to carry on your legacy. RIP, our dear Cinch. 2010-2014
