We have high expectations for our puppies and make sure to place each one in an enriching and loving home that will match their temperament and personality.
Q. & A. with Mary
Why did you start breeding?
We started raising Australian Shepherds when the youngest Mary was 9 years old, as her 4H and FFA project. We started out just taking puppies with us as we traveled to stock shows, but then as word got out, we had people contacting us looking for our puppies. Over the years we paired many puppies with their new forever homes.
What makes your program special?
We are three generations of Mary's working side by side. Grandma Mary is the heart and soul of the whole operation. Her job is to give daily love & kisses to the pups. Mamma Mary is the marketing guru; she is the one usually responding to messages and helping find forever homes. Little Mary fills in the gaps behind the scenes taking photos, answering messages, and of course, loving on the pups. We love what we do and truly want the very best for our puppies and their forever families.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies include blue merle and red merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
