Meet the breeder

I'm Megan N., the breeder behind Aloe Aussies located in Carmichael, CA. My name is Megan. Myself and my (very understanding & supportive) husband, Billy, are the heart of Aloe Aussies. We raise our dogs in our home, side by side with us, loved from day 1. We have all sizes and energy levels for any lifestyle. Don't hesitate to ask questions, we can't wait to meet you!

Q. & A. with Megan

  • Why did you start breeding?

    What started as a quest for the perfect companion for us evolved into a mission to raise that same "once-in-a-lifetime" dog for others. That’s how Aloe Aussies was born! We love sharing our lives with our dogs, and even more, we love passing that joy on to you! When someone leaves Aloe Aussies with a puppy, our goal is simple: that years later they can’t imagine their life without that dog.
  • What makes your program special?

    We pour our every effort into producing Aussies that aren't just healthy & brilliant, but truly happy lifelong companions. Our puppies are raised in our home to ensure every puppy is socialized, loved, and treated with respect from day one. Living with us, they learn how to be a part of a family in a stable, enriched environment designed to support confidence, adaptability, and trust.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our Miniature American Shepherd puppies include black & white, black tri, red & white, red tri-color, black, red merle, blue merle, and red. Toy Australian Shepherd puppies include red, black, black tri, blue merle, red merle, and red tri. Australian Shepherd puppies include black & white, red & white, red merle, blue merle, 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.

    I had a great experience with Megan. She did a wonderful job with Indi, crate training and commands. Indi had a lot of attention and she’s in excellent health. Thank you Megan for everything and you’re so attentive and thoughtful.
