    Ashley at Blue Ridge was absolutely amazing throughout the entire process of getting our Australian Shepherd puppy. From the very beginning, she was kind, knowledgeable, and always quick to answer any questions we had. She made the adoption process smooth, stress-free, and kept us updated every step of the way. It was clear how much she cares about her dogs and making sure they go to loving homes. Our puppy is healthy, happy, and has such an incredible personality. We couldn’t be happier with our experience, and we’re so grateful to Ashley for helping us find the perfect new addition to our family. We highly recommend Blue Ridge to anyone looking for a wonderful Australian Shepherd and a breeder who truly cares.

    Ashley worked with me through every step of the process and as a new first time puppy owner she was very good at explaining everything and answered all my questions!! as for the puppy I received he was perfectly perfect. Well taken care of and potty training was almost not an issue. eight week old puppy potty train is pretty impressive If you ask me, he’s very happy, polite, energetic, and snuggly and cuddly she did an amazing job at raising the puppies and I’m so thankful that I chose her to work with!
