BellaHara
Meet the breeder
I'm Heather A., the breeder behind BellaHara located in Hay Springs, NE. I am a dedicated breeder to the wonderful breed of Australian Shepherds. Aussies are to be “versatile” with working instincts & good structure. Excellent temperament, biddable, very smart, & beautiful! I do everything I can to ensure the puppy has all of the tools to live a happy, healthy, wonderful life.
Q. & A. with Heather
Why did you start breeding?
We grew up living this type of lifestyle. Australian Shepherds have always been a part of our lives.What makes your program special?
In our humble opinion coat and eye color is just “wrapping on the package”. As an ASCA registered kennel we adhere to the standards set forth by that Registry. We raise wonderful well-bred Aussies, that we try and match folks lifestyle to the individual Aussies temperaments. So new owners are excellent to learn an Aussie from us is as beautiful on the inside as the “pretty wrapping” it comes in.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 and guardian homes.
