I'm Amanda T., the breeder behind Amanda's Australian Shepherds located in Rohnert Park, CA. Our dogs stole our hearts right from the start and we found ourselves wanting to get more involved. Breeding was a natural next step.
Q. & A. with Amanda
Why did you start breeding?
Bonita means so much to me. I never found a breed of dog I love so much! She will be a wonderful mother and I hope to share the experience of Australian Shepherd ownership with others who appreciate this amazing dog.
What makes your program special?
I will do my all to choose the healthiest and best match for my beautiful girl. I will care for her and the pups as the family members that they are. I am sure the pups will be socialized and a reliable vet will vaccinate, deworm and check them up.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include blue merle and red tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
