Aussome Aussies
Meet the breeder
I'm Manoella M., the breeder behind Aussome Aussies located in Mint Hill, NC. Our dogs are raised in our home and bred for health and temperament. We love our dogs and treat them like family. It is utmost importance to us that we provide families with happy, healthy, well-socialized puppies!
Q. & A. with Manoella
Why did you start breeding?
I used to compete in conformation (AKC and UKC). That’s where my passion for Australian Shepherd started. Later in life I discovered the power of healing a dog can provide and immediately decided that would be my mission in life!What makes your program special?
I aim to breed for health and temperament. My dogs are raised inside my home as a family with much love and attention. My puppy owners become part of that extended family. I want every owner to know I am here to help any way I can. Puppies receive early neurological stimulation, early scent introduction and are exposed to different situations and people so they can grow up to be well-rounded dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
