***Union Jack #1 MASCA Mini Aussie 2017 and # 8 MASCA Mini Aussie 2016*** Union Jack is a GORGEOUS son of Jack Jr (74 Ranch Head N To Vegas) out of Chatter (CH 74 Ranch Talk N Up A Storm). We loved him clear back when he looked so cute in the Chewy box and we love him even more now. He was Reserve Winner's Dog his first show out at barely 6 months old. Then at 8 months old he got Best of Winners, show 1, and WON the Specialty Show with a Best of Breed and Best of Winners. He also took Best Male Head Type that day and helped 74 Ranch Mini Aussies win Brood Bitch and Breeder's Showcase! This was all done at the WOWMASC show in Cheyenne, Wy October 22nd under Judges Sharon Elkins and Jean Pero. This boy has a SUPER personality - knows no strangers, loved agility from the day he 'sampled' it, loves to herd but has a great controlled, sweet personality.
A few months later Jack has gone on to get several Best in Shows at the ICE show in Colorado Dec 8-9. Some of the judge's comments included: "Outstanding Breed Type", "Level Topline", "Solid excellent temperament", "excellent side gait", "beautiful young dog", "good smooth shoulder with nice depth", "strong rear", "nice reach and drive" and "impressive".

He has amazing copper, large bones for a mini and gentle brown eyes. He was purchased from Fullerton's Toy Aussies in Nebraska. His parents are toys (13 3/4") but he will end up a small mini. We look forward to crossing him on our girls in the future!
