Q. & A. with Shaina
Why did you start breeding?
Twelve years ago, I discovered my first Australian Shepherd and was instantly captivated by the breed. Driven by a deep passion and a desire to honor the breed, I immersed myself in research and sought guidance from experienced mentors to shape my breeding program. This journey led me to acquire my first breeding prospect, marking the beginning of my dedicated commitment to breeding exceptional Australian Shepherds.What makes your program special?
My breeding program is built on a deep commitment to the happiness and health of every puppy and their owners. I offer lifelong support and am dedicated to ensuring the well-being of each puppy I produce. My goal is to continually improve my breeding practices, be a compassionate and understanding breeder, and always act in the best interest of my puppies.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

+4First, we were impressed with all the key information Shaina provided on the litters pedigree, her breeding philosophy, and her early rearing practices. When we reached out, we were even more impressed with her kindness, caring, and responsiveness. We quickly put in our reservation. We did not expect the level of thoughtfulness she put in to pairing us up with the perfect dog for us. She matched Skye with us based upon our lifestyle and future training plans. Skye is brilliant, athletic, and very treat motivated to learn. Of course he is gorgeous too. We still follow up, 6 months after we picked him up and she provides us with experienced training tips. We highly recommend her to anyone seeking the perfect Aussie to meet their needs.

Shaina has been awesome throughout the entire process. She was more than willing to take time to answer any questions and was a joy to deal with. You can tell she cares deeply for the animals she raises and it shows. Our little boy has been blessing to our family and can not thank her enough for him.
