At Vaquero Australian Shepherds, we strive to produce sound, good looking working dogs. Our goal is to retain the integrity of the breed in its natural working ability and intelligence, while producing dogs suitable for the rancher as well as the family. While our primary focus is on working ability, we take pride in the versatility of the dogs that we have produced which have competed and excelled in the stock arena, agility, obedience, conformation and tracking.

The Miniature Australian Shepherd, North American Shepherd, North American Miniature Australian Shepherd, and/or Toy Australian Shepherd breeds are not recognized as a variety of Australian Shepherd by ASCA®. The club considers such dogs to be a distinct and separate breed and will not accept them into its registry.
 
"Our bylaws state that ASCA®'s purpose is: 'To encourage members and breeders to accept one breed standard for the Australian Shepherd as approved by the Club as the only standard of excellence by which Australian Shepherds shall be judged.' It is the mission of this club ASCA® and the mission of its members to preserve the breed rather than change it."
