Meet the breeder
I'm Chariti S., the breeder behind AussieSmiths located in Deridder, LA. We LOVE Australian Shepherds for their beauty, versatility, and trainability! While our dogs are excellent with children, they also excel in various other activities such as agility, obedience, and even some service work! Whether you are looking for an exceptional family companion or a new best friend, we are confident that we have the "pawfect" puppy for you!
Q. & A. with Chariti
Why did you start breeding?
Consistent love and admiration for the Australian Shepherd breed are what inspired the start of AussieSmiths. Soon after we were introduced to our very first Aussie, we felt that breeding dogs might be in our future. After much prayer and consideration and a great deal of time researching and educating ourselves - we carefully selected the dogs that would be the start of our program. We established ourselves in 2019, and the rest is history!What makes your program special?
We are ethical breeders of Australian Shepherds that are devoted to the preservation and over-all well-being of our beloved breed. We raise our puppies underfoot in our loving home so that we can properly prepare them to be excellent additions to your family. We want nothing more than to see each and every one of our puppies shine!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.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
