We invite you to explore and look around. We take great pride in our Australian Shepherd and Havanese dogs and in the quality of the puppies we produce. We thoroughly health test all of our parent dogs to ensure your puppy has the best chance at a long and healthy life. We are certified through AKC's H.E.A.R.T. program ensuring we are doing the recommended health testing. On most of our dogs we have done additional testing over and above the recommendations to give our puppies the best chance to live long, healthy, and happy lives.
Our family all love our dogs and receive great joy and fulfillment out of providing homes with wonderful, healthy, and happy companions. We raise our dogs in our home with lots of love and socialization from all ages. You will not go wrong with a High Hills Aussie or Havanese Puppy! We are located in New England in the town of Unity, in the great state of Maine! Come and visit us and see what makes High Hills Puppies so great.

OUR PROCESS
We start with the highest quality Australian Shepherd and Havanese dogs from thoroughly health tested parents. Before we breed our dogs we do complete health testing on them...OFA-Hips, Elbows, and Eyes and DNA testing. On the Havanese we add OFA-Patelas and Heart screening. If the pups do not pass we spay or neuter them and do not use them for breeding.
Step 1
Application
We have every potential puppy family fill out an application to make sure that our puppies are going to good homes ready for a new pup.
STEP 2
Deposit
We require a $500 non-refundable deposit to reserve a spot on a litter. Puppies are chosen in order of deposits and gender preference.
STEP 3
Wait
It is a process sometimes waiting for a breeding or litter to be born. We let you know updates as they come and keep you in the loop.
STEP 4
Watch
Once the puppies are born and you confirm you want a pup out of the current litter. We will keep you updated with photos and videos once a week.

STEP 5
Pick Out and Pick Up
At 6-8 weeks we have everyone select their puppy in order. At 8 weeks they are ready to go home. This allows us to evaluate the puppies and you to see the personality and temperament. We also take them to the vet for a health checkup a few days before going home.
*Warning*
Some Breeders are claiming to health test their dogs. Genetic testing is just the minimal and does not protect you from very costly vet bills in the future. If you want a puppy from truly health tested parents look for OFA Hips, Elbows, Eyes and DNA/Genetic testing. Hip Displaysia, Elbow Displaysia, and Genetic Eye Problems like Cataracts are lifelong and dibilitating problems. They often require expensive surgeries and your pup will have a long life of pain and discomfort or potential blindness. We do our best to minimize the risk your pup will have any of these concerns. Testing is the only way to be sure your pup has the best chance of a long and healthy life.

Hear from some of our puppy owners!
He's a Wonderful Boy!
This in Hank (Cane from the New Year’s litter) - he’s a wonderful boy, smart, great tempered, and all-around a good boy! Not quite ready for another yet, but someone will be very lucky to have Iris!
Love Bug
Flurry is the sweetest angel and love bug. And she clearly gets her beautiful face from her momma ❤️
Bundle of Joy
In typical Aussie fashion, Finley is very much a people person and has stole the heart of all of us. He is a 12 week bundle of joy....and a bit of work. But we are having a great time with him. He is fully potty trained, does very well with sit, wait, down and most importanly comes on command..jpeg)
In Love
Thank you so much for allowing us to spend time with Blaze at your home and helping us with the process. You are wonderful people and we appreciate everything. We are already in love with him
Wonderful Temperament!
Chaga definitely has wonderful temperament. So calm, unbelievable at his age. So confident, nothing scares him, no problem with fireworks, caccum and loud noise. So quiet. Doesn’t bark at a new place. He is able to go anywhere we go. He is like an old soul in a young body😁
Sweet Boy!
Hands down the best pups! It’s hard to believe a year ago we were bringing home our sweet boy, River!
