Q. & A. with Katie
Why did you start breeding?
My first Aussie, Hitch, joined me while I was in college. Hitch was was my sidekick and went everywhere I did. He is the one who made me fall in love with the Aussie breed and I haven’t looked back! He made me want to learn more about Aussies and do my part sharing this exceptional breed. They are truly the best dogs.What makes your program special?
I am a lifelong animal enthusiast. My dogs are a huge part of my life and I love spending time with them; whether that be by going on outside adventures or just snuggling up together at night.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black, blue merle, and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
