Q. & A. with Chris
Why did you start breeding?
I left the corporate world after many years of being away from my family and became a stay-at-home mom. I took a break from breeding a few years back, due to life changes, and have recently entered back into the breeding scene.
What makes your program special?
During my time off, I have made drastic improvements, not only to our home, but to the environment the dogs are kept. We now have a fully functional whelping area, with a controlled environment for the safety of Moms and Babes. Our exercise area is well spaced for each animal. We have quality food and health maintenance for each of the Aussies. We take pride in our work!
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black, red merle, blue merle, red, black tri-color, and red tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

I have nothing but good things to say about Chris and 4Feathers. Because I bought a dog off the internet without meeting him or the breeder; I had some slight nerves throughout the whole process. Chris made things so easy, and was in touch with me every step of the way. The driver, Nancy, was also a pleasure to work with. I've only had my new buddy for a week, but I couldn't be more pleased with my new friend!

I had a wonderful experience getting my puppy through 4 Feathers. Chris kept me informed of his status until he arrived. He adjusted very well. House training was a breeze. He is loving, happy, and healthy....did I mention smart. I was nervous about him taking such a long trip from Oaklahoma to Massachusetts but he arrived fine thanks to Nancy his transporter who also kept me well informed. Chris is truly a professional and her puppies reflect the care she has given them. He's wonderful.

Chris was great to work with, answered all my questions sent updated photos of my puppy and let me know what to expect from beginning to end. I could tell that she is very knowledgeable about her breeding program and cares about her dogs. It was a good experience to work with her.

Chris was responsive and understood the temperament of the dog I was looking for. Ace is a perfect match for that temperament! I can tell that Chris cares deeply about breeding wonderful Aussie breed ambassadors and ensuring they go to a home that matches the dog. After two weeks, I couldn’t be happier with him. In addition, he receives compliments daily!
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
