Meet the breeder
I'm Nicole B., the breeder behind Arcadia Australian Shepherds located in Peach Bottom, PA. Our number one concern will always be the health and well-being of our dogs and their pups. They are our family and our world. Our dogs have had genetic testing panels done through GenSol Diagnostics to ensure that all puppies have the best possible start to a long, healthy and happy life.
Q. & A. with Nicole
Why did you start breeding?
Growing up, my grandmother raised and bred American Bulldogs. Some of my favorite and most memorable moments of my childhood include being at my grandmother's house learning and helping to care for the puppies. It was always the highlight of my day to come home from school and get all of the puppy love that the day would allow, and would love for my kids to share that experience.What makes your program special?
All of our dogs are very near and dear members of our family. They are raised in our home along side of our children, nieces/nephews, friends and family as well as our cat. We focus really hard on temperament and socialization with all different types of people, dogs, and cats.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include 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.

Farley and Willow's litter
Parent dogs
Farley, dad
Australian Shepherd
About Farley
Farley is the perfect blend of derp and sophistication. He is the sweetest boy with so much love to give. He enjoys a good booty/belly scratch and has a one of a kind personality. Farely enjoys dancing with me in the kitchen, zoomies around the pond, a good ol' fashion stick and nice dip in the creek. He loves to sing the song of his people and tell you all about his day when you get home. He's been raised along side my children, other dogs, cats and a great number of family and friends of all ages and appearances. Farley is well adjusted to the every day chaos that life can bring and enjoys every moment of it.

Australian Shepherd
About Willow
Willow is a total love bug and such a good girl. She enjoys all of the love and booty/belly scratches she can get and cuddling up to anyone she can. Willow loves to guard our pond from any birds who may try to eat the fish (her arch nemesis - the Blue Heron). She is such a such smart girl with a fun, outgoing and playful personality. She loves splashing in the creek, chewing a good stick and watching over the property. Willow has been raised inside my home with my kids, cats, dogs and many different people of all personalities and appearances. She is well adjusted to everyday home life and truly enjoys being with her people.

We had a wonderful experience getting our Australian Shepherd, Pax, from Nikole. From the very beginning, she was amazing — kind, knowledgeable, and always willing to answer any questions we had. She guided us through the entire process, offering great advice on how to make Pax’s transition to his new home smooth and stress-free. It was clear how much love and care she puts into her dogs. Pax was healthy, happy, and very well taken care of, with all his vaccinations up to date. She even sent him home with his favorite blanket and toy, which made him feel right at home. We also appreciated being able to meet his parents and see the wonderful environment he was raised in. Nikole truly goes above and beyond for her puppies and their new families. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, responsible, and dedicated breeder. Sandra

Nicole was very helpful and responsive. She was patient with my millions of questions and had great recommendations for us for how to give our puppy a smooth transition to her new home.

Our experience with Nicole and Arcadia Australian Shepherds was a smooth process from start to finish. Nicole was both professional and knowledgeable. She explained the transition process and was very available in any questions on bringing Calder home. He is a wonderful, smart, lovable puppy; clearly well cared for and loved by his breeder and her family. Their children were also involved and happy to share their experiences with this wonderful dog. I would gladly return to her when we are ready for Calder's next friend. I highly recommend them for any new or returning aussie lover. I can say this given many years of dog ownership (including aussies and rescue pups. They are so important in a happy life. Bringing joy is mutual.
