Hawkins is the son of Blaze and Nirvana. He earned his Championship with limited showing with his breeder/owner Kacy Woods, finishing by going Winners Dog/Best of Winners at the Sunshine State Herding Specialty ahead of the prestigious Royal Canin Dog Show under the respected breeder Judge Kerry Kirtley. He was also the 2022 Royal Canin National Stakes Miniature American Shepherd Puppy of the Year and made the Final Cut of herding puppies in the group under esteemed Judge Jamie Hubbard, all before his first birthday.

As an adult, he's continued being shown on a very limited basis and glides across the ring with effortless movement. While only 17½ inches tall, he's a substantial dog, bringing bone, coat, and balanced correct movement. He's a lower drive MAS but does thoroughly enjoy swimming and will never turn down the chance to hit the water.

He's a loving a devoted member of his family, where he's always keeping tabs on his humans, including a toddler. He lives in Georgia with his breeder/owner Kacy Woods and is co-owned with Dynasty.
