Meet the breeder

I'm Carrie H., the breeder behind Aussies Of Circle H located in Dundee, OH. We strive to raise healthy, well-rounded Australian Shepherd puppies who grow into great companions! We cherish each of our dogs and puppies, and give them enrichment opportunities. That includes everything from choosing healthy, health tested parents with good temperaments.

Q. & A. with Carrie

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We got our first Aussie to help our children, recover from so bad experiences with other large breed dogs. The Aussies are so loyal to their people and were so loving that we decided to spread the love to other families. It is so reassuring to me when I see the dogs laying in the yard watching my children play. Their presence is another layer of protection for them and brings me so much comfort
  • What makes your program special?

    Our dogs work with us and the livestock. We love to see the dogs playing together, working together, and also catching some rays of sun in the yard. We strive to continue our education on the breed so that we can continue to grow.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include black, red merle, blue merle, and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    I had such a wonderful experience with my breeder, Carrie! From the beginning, she was incredibly communicative and supportive. She sent weekly pictures and videos of our sweet girl, always keeping me updated and involved in the process. She answered every single one of my questions with patience and kindness. When we met her in person, she was so kind and personable. You can truly tell how much she cares about her dogs! Every puppy is clearly loved, well-socialized, and well-taken care of. It’s obvious that she puts her heart into her breeding program. I couldn’t be happier with my puppy and with the entire experience. I highly recommend Carrie to anyone who is looking for a responsible, caring and attentive breeder.

    Carrie was amazing to work with. She was responsive and made the process so easy. Any questions I had were always quickly answered. We got a bit lucky with a bunch of Merle’s in the litter and timing but she was able to get us the exact coat, eye color and we were able to keep the tail. Our girl Murphy has a wonderful temperament and has been the sweetest addition to our home. Thank you Carrie!!

    This was the best interaction I have ever had when getting a puppy. He is amazing and everything she thought he would be. His health is great. His focus is exactly as communicated to me. On day 1 he is already showing intelligence and responsiveness to commands. I couldn't have asked for a better dog. With that being said, Carrie has been great throughout the whole process. I am impressed with he dedication to producing health puppies to enrich lives. She was responsive to any questions. She answered very promptly. She was extremely patient with me. I was a bit excited to be getting him. She made the process a pleasant one. The gooddog.com website very much helped with the process. The fees are excorborant, but I was willing to pay it. We both had to pay them, the breeder and I. I am not sure what her take is on it, this is only my opinion. I value the fact that the site helped me find a caring breeder. I considered the fees a necessity. I think it was a little steep though. I have backend experience on website traffic. I know that their profit margin is a good one. But, again, I was willing to pay it and don't regret it. Thank you Carrie. In a business where you can find some who are less than honest, you are a beacon. You raise good dogs with great personalities. I appreciate your dedication to them and to the customer. The process was smooth from start to finish. I promise to keep you update.

    We had a great experience with getting our puppy from Carrie and Aussies of Circle H. You can tell that she really loves and cares for her dogs just by looking at her Facebook or Instagram. She would send us weekly updates with either a photo or video of our boy. Carrie goes above and beyond as a breeder with all the health testing she has done and the personality tests that she does with each puppy to let you know their strengths and weaknesses. For only being 8 weeks old our boy is so laid back and so well behaved. We are so happy with our little boy and I will definitely recommend Carrie and her family for anyone looking for an Australian Shepherd!

    We got our sweet boy Maverick from Carrie and I couldn’t have been happier with the experience! Carrie was super knowledgeable and always responded quickly. We loved receiving frequent updates about our pup! Maverick is the most perfect puppy for us and we couldn’t be more happier!

    Carrie was so wonderful to work with! We live in Massachusetts and we were pretty anxious about getting a puppy out of state but Carrie made it so easy and really spent time explaining things and answering any questions we had! She is sweet, and really knowledgeable about the breed! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We are in love with our new puppy Millie! (Former name Rollie) she has been the most incredible addition to our family. Thank you again Carrie & team!
