Pictorial History

Here are photos and descriptions of our dogs who have contributed to the quality pedigrees of today"s "Gearhart Aussies". 

Some have passed on...but in our hearts, they live on.

  Mistrettas Shadow Hawk DNA-CP

"Hawk"

Gearhart Foundation Sire

September 10, 1992 – June 30, 2006

Many dogs have gone into our pedigrees.  Hawk was an outstanding individual, a handsome representative of the Aussie breed, and a central dog in our program.  Everything of ours goes back to him somewhere.  He is like the Hub of our program.

Hawk was co-owned with Victoria Mistretta and touched the hearts of those who knew him.
