Ashwood Aussies
Meet the breeder
I'm Kristi S., the breeder behind Ashwood Aussies located in Germantown, OH. We focus on placing our puppies in lifelong loving homes. Even though we are active in Conformation & Performance venues we realize many families just want a healthy and fun dog to add to their family. Our puppies are raised in our home with the puppy culture protocol.
Q. & A. with Kristi
Why did you start breeding?
Breeding is something I wanted to do from a young age. Once I become educated from my mentors and achieved my first Owner Handled champion and all the required health testing I had my first litter in 2017. I typically have one litter a year which I dedicate all my time to from the time they are born until they leave. I did not rush into breeding. It’s a passion for me to raise sound puppies.What makes your program special?
Because I only have one litter a year I am able to spend a great deal of time raising my puppies. I take the time to socialize them and get to know their personality/ energy level and biddability I place my puppies based on best fit for the family. I understand color is important to some people but the most important thing a breeder can do it match the right puppy to the right family.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
