High Hills Aussies And Havanese

High Hills Aussies and Havanese, run by Nathan Pelkey, raises Australian shepherds and Havanese in Unity, Maine, a small town in the Waldo County region of central Maine, roughly an hour from Bangor.

The program's focus is on producing family companion dogs with sound temperament, good conformation, and long-term health. Both breeds are raised in the home environment alongside the family, with socialization from people of all ages built into daily life. Puppies from High Hills are placed as companions only and are not sold with breeding rights.

Health testing is a central part of the program for both breeds. Parent dogs are evaluated through OFA for hips and elbows, CERF for eye clearances, and Paw Print Genetics for DNA testing, with dogs that do not meet standards removed from the breeding program. High Hills is also certified through AKC's H.E.A.R.T. program, which recognizes breeders who follow recommended health testing protocols. Families interested in an Australian shepherd breeder in Maine or a Havanese from a health-tested program will find that the emphasis here is on longevity and temperament over volume. Prospective owners are asked to complete an application before being matched with a puppy.
