Bruni is our pick puppy from the Toga × Midna litter, named after the fire spirit from Disney’s Frozen II. From the start, he reminded us so much of his sire in both structure and expression, while carrying the drive, athleticism, and heart of his dam.

Bruni’s show career took off quickly. At his very first AKC show he earned Reserve Winners Dog to a four-point major, followed by Winners Dog for his first points just one weekend later. In only two months of limited showing, he accumulated 14 points including a major win from the puppy classes and a second-place finish in a large class of 20 at the USASA National Specialty. He completed his AKC Championship in style under Judge Ms. Jan Paulk, entirely from the puppy classes.

Since then, Bruni has continued to make us proud both in and out of the ring. In 2026, he made the first cut of males at the USASA National Specialty under Judge Patricia Trotter, handled by Jessica Plourde. He is now being campaigned in AKC by professional handlers Karen & Sam Mammano, and we look forward to watching their continued success together. In just their first few weekends as a team, Bruni has already earned multiple Best of Breed wins and finished his Grand Championship!

Outside the conformation ring, Bruni has proven to be an exceptional all-around Aussie, earning an impressive list of titles across multiple venues including Rally Novice (RN), Open Agility (OA), Novice Agility Jumper (NAJ), Coursing Ability (CA), Fast CAT (BCAT), Barn Hunt Novice (RATN), Dock Diving Junior (DJ), Canine Good Citizen Advanced & Urban (CGCA, CGCU), Trick Dog Novice (TKN), Virtual Home Manners Puppy (VHMP), and Fit Dog Bronze (FITB).

Bruni embodies everything we strive for in our breeding program: sound structure, intelligence, athleticism, and a joyful spirit. We are incredibly proud of all that he has accomplished and excited to watch the next chapter of his career unfold.

Frozen semen is available to approved, health-tested bitches.
