Q. & A. with Ann
Why did you start breeding?
We are purposeful in everything we do regarding our dogs, including careful selection of breeding dogs and extensive health testing. Our goal is to produce healthy dogs with great temperaments, working drives, and conformation that are exemplary representations of the breed.
What makes your program special?
Our love for Australian Shepherds inspired us to share this amazing breed with the world in a responsible way. We are devoted to ensuring there are happy, healthy, and versatile Australian Shepherds for others to enjoy, and we do so by responsibly growing this incredible breed. It has been an absolute joy of a journey, and we are so happy to be able to share these wonderful dogs with other loving families and individuals.
