Meet the breeder
I'm Francine G., the breeder behind Alias Australian Shepherds located in Brimfield, MA. We are small hobby breeders breeding to the standard creating champions and happy pets. We strive to make sure every owner has the ability to get the very best out of their puppy. The goal we set and which we believe is still the most important, is to produce healthy puppies that make a well-rounded character in an adult dog.
Q. & A. with Francine
Why did you start breeding?
I started by rescuing an Aussie from a shelter. We were involved in Flyball at the time. Soon after my daughter began her Junior Handling career and was Nationally ranked. This eventually got us into breeding.What makes your program special?
