Dovehawk Australian Shepherds

Dovehawk Australian Shepherds, based in Navarre, Florida, breeds health-tested, AKC and ASCA registered Australian shepherds with a focus on versatility and preservation of the breed standard. Kimberly Cecil, who operates the program alongside her family, approaches the work as a preservation breeder, meaning each pairing is made with the goal of maintaining type, soundness, and temperament in line with what the breed standard calls for.

Health testing is a central part of the program. Dogs are evaluated through OFA for hips and elbows, undergo CAER eye exams, and are tested for MDR-1, CEA, HSF4, and other genetic markers through panels from Paw Print Genetics and Embark. Breeding stock also carries ASCA DNA-VP verification.

The kennel has produced titled dogs across multiple registries, including UKC, AKC, and ASCA, with competition wins earned in conformation. Puppy placements are based primarily on temperament and energy level relative to the prospective home, rather than on color or sex preferences alone. Located in the Florida Panhandle, about 30 miles east of Pensacola, Dovehawk is a source for Australian shepherd puppies in Florida bred from dogs with documented health clearances and competitive titles.
