Meet the breeder
I'm Melissa F., the breeder behind Beachin' Aussies located in Archie, MO. Our dogs are bred with a passion for high quality genetics and lineage. I am dedicated to health, stature, obedience, temperament, and loyalty. Our dogs have gone on to be ranch hands, companions of bikers, kayakers, runners, hikers, emotional supporters, protectors, family pets, and even a co-pilot. Most importantly BEST FRIENDS!
Q. & A. with Melissa
Why did you start breeding?
It all started as part of my GrandParents cattle farm. I grew up with Aussies. Local rancher would ask us to breed our Aussies for working dogs for them on their ranches & farms. My knowledge and love of the breed has just grown from there. We health test all of our adult Aussies to make sure we are providing the healthiest puppy we can. We also DNA profile all of our adults before breeding.What makes your program special?
I believe it's just the amount of love that I have for the breed. I have learned so much over the last many years. The importance of quality genetics and lineage is something that plays an important role in how your puppy will grow and mature. Socializing & knowing what your potential families’ wants and needs is another thing of important value. I raise puppies the way that I would want to haveWhat 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 and a kennel on my property.
