    Our love for the Australian Shepherd and belief in their natural abilities in understanding people. We are going into our fourth generation of Aussies! We aspire to raise the most healthy, sound, intelligent, intuitive and loving best friends possible! Our dogs are currently working as service dogs, assistant dogs, agility, dock diving, fast cat and amazing companions all over the USA.

  • 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.

    Selina from Aussie Tales was amazing! I am so thankful I got my boy Finn from her. My vet said the breeder did a great job with him. Finn is confident and a good listener. He loves his toys and running in the yard, especially when the neighbors dog is in his yard and they run up and down the fence. Once he is vaccinated they will play together. I think Finn has found a best friend. Finn is going slow with the Cats and so far they've all respected their space. We start Puppy Training this week and I know he will do great, thanks to the good start he got at Aussie Tales Farm.

    I started talking to Selina from Aussie Tales Farm when the litter was just planned. She was incredibly communicative and answered all my questions. She knew exactly what I was looking for and we got that in our Finley and so much more. Once we picked Finley (it was a hard decision) Selina kept us updated on with pictures, videos and little stories about how he was doing. Finley is one of the easiest pups I have had the pleasure of having. From day 1 he settled into our household and took to our routine and older dog. He is getting along great with housebreaking and crate training. He has such a great little personality. I cannot wait to watch him grow into an amazing dog. Thank you Selina!!

    Selina was very responsive and kept me updated on my puppy. Once I met her and her program, I ensure that I had made the right decision to take a puppy home of her program. I love my puppy so much that he had settled well at home on day one.

    Working with Selina from Aussie Tales Farm was nothing but amazing! She made it easy from inquiry to the day we brought our sweet boy home 💙 You can tell Selina cares about her dogs, how they are treated, and who they go home too.

    Selina was absolutely amazing! We had so many questions regarding the genetic testing and bloodlines and she was more than happy to answer and explain. We also had a special request to pickup later due to a scheduled vacation and Selina was more than happy to accommodate for us. When it was time to pick up Tucker aka Tornado we met and got to spend time with mom, dad, grandma, and the uncle. It was such a wonderful experience and you can tell Selina takes great care in her pups. I would recommend her to everyone looking to adopt an Australian Shepard. You will not be disappointed.

    We had a great experience with Selina and Aussie Tales Farm. Sassy (fka Snow) is a wonderful addition to our family. Selina was prompt in responding to our inquiries and questions, and then worked with our schedule to make Sassy' pick-up seamless and easy. We had received excellent recommendations from friends about Aussie Tales Farm and Selina exceeded our expectations.
