🧬 WHY THIS PAIRING?

Ivy is one of those dogs who makes everything feel a little more relaxed. She's calm, steady, and naturally comfortable in her surroundings, with a quiet affection that makes you want to keep reaching for her. Her favorite greeting comes with a little Silverside signature move - when you go to pet her, she swings her butt right in beside you for parallel parking pets. 🌿

 

Spartan brings his famously gentle confidence, intelligence, devotion, and incredible ability to settle. He's happiest wherever his people are, whether that's out exploring or simply curled up beside them at the end of the day.

 

Together, we love the balance these two bring. Ivy's steadiness and Spartan's confidence create the foundation for puppies we expect to be affectionate, adaptable, biddable, and comfortable switching between adventure mode and couch mode. These are the kinds of Aussies we hope will grow into dogs that fit naturally into their family's everyday life.

🌱 THE SILVERSIDE DIFFERENCE

Some Aussies walk into a room and immediately announce themselves. Ivy is a little different - she simply settles in and makes herself at home. That calm, steady presence is exactly what we love about her, and pairing her with Spartan gives us the opportunity to build on those qualities while adding his confidence, intelligence, and versatility.

 

We're looking for puppies that aren't just beautiful, but easy to live with, connected to their people, confident in the world around them, and happy to participate in whatever family life brings.

 

Because at Silverside, our favorite kind of Aussie isn't necessarily the busiest or flashiest dog in the room. It's the one who can hike the trail, learn something new, greet their people with a whole-body wiggle, and then happily park themselves beside you when the day is done. That's the kind of companion we're hoping Ivy & Spartan will create.
