Dovehawk Australian Shepherds

Dovehawk Australian Shepherds, Australian shepherds in Navarre, FL, serve Santa Rosa County and the Gulf Coast near Pensacola.

Built on years of experience, the program follows American Kennel Club guidelines and maintains active registration for all breeding dogs. Each adult is screened for hip and elbow dysplasia as well as annual eye exams to support long-term health. Puppies are born and raised indoors in a family setting, where they join normal household activities and learn early social cues.

From the moment they open their eyes, litters receive gentle handling, basic leash training, and supervised outdoor play on five fenced acres. Founder Kimberly Cecil emphasizes the working heritage of the breed by including basic herding exercises and calm interactions with children and other pets. Local owners appreciate the stable temperaments, sharp learning drive, and versatility that show in both home life and farm work.
