Q. & A. with Sarah

  • Why did you start breeding?

    When we got our first Australian Shepherd, she added so much love and joy into our lives! She filled a void in us that we didn’t know we had. I just want to be able to share that feeling of happiness with other families. That’s why I started Aussie Odyssey!

  • What makes your program special?

    We believe in quality over quantity. We produce limited litters to ensure we keep our dogs and puppies as happy and healthy as possible. Also, to keep our dogs healthy this means we feed them the best! All of our dogs and puppies are fed a RAW diet. Our puppies will be started on a RAW diet when being weaned off mom’s milk.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include red & white, black & 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.

All our puppies will have temperaments and personalities evaluated after 6 weeks old. This way we can match puppies and families together who best suit each other’s lifestyle.

    We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Aussie Odyssey! From the day we picked up our puppy, Sarah has gone above and beyond to support us every step of the way. As first-time dog owners, we had so many questions, and she has always been there to help with feeding recommendations, training advice, and helpful tips for potty training and crate training. Her efforts in helping has made the transition so much easier and has given us so much confidence as new puppy parents. We also asked Sarah to watch our puppy for a week while we were away, and it was such a relief knowing he was in great hands. She kept us updated every single day with pictures and videos, which meant so much to us. When we picked him up, he was healthy, happy, clean, and clearly well cared for. It’s obvious that Sarah truly loves and cares for every puppy she raises, we are so grateful for her continued support. We would confidently recommend Aussie Odyssey to anyone looking for a healthy, happy, true-bred Australian Shepherd!

    We recently welcomed our new Aussie puppy into our family, and we couldn't be happier with our experience! Sarah was amazing at communication throughout the entire process. Prior to bringing our sweet girl home, she was incredibly responsive and helped us prepare. She even reached out during the first few weeks after pickup to check in on how everything was going - something we truly appreciated. Our new puppy gets along wonderfully with our kids, and we've loved watching her integrate into our pack. She's even sparked joy in our 8-year-old Aussie's eyes! It's been wonderful to see them bonding together. I can confidently recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a responsibly bred Aussie. We absolutely love our sweet girl!
