I'm Lauren S., the breeder behind Blue Sage Aussies located in Syracuse, UT. My program focuses on healthy dogs with excellent temperaments, correct conformation, and the ability to excel in performance or as your loyal friend and companion. My dogs enjoy everything from camping and hiking to dock diving and scent tracking! Stay tuned as I venture into the show ring as well!
Q. & A. with Lauren
Why did you start breeding?
I want to do my part as a responsible breeder to improve the breed and spread the love of an Australian Shepherd to others! My main focus is to produce puppies with exceptional health and temperament, but I also want to raise puppies that can go into service work AND thrive as family companions.
What makes your program special?
Blue Sage Aussies are dedicated to only breeding dogs that we know are excellent representations of the standard and will make a positive contribution to their line and to the families who love them. As a breeder, I'm a steward of the future of the breed, so I am careful to always maintain ethical breeding practices. This includes proper health testing, intentional breeding for specific traits, and raising my puppies with proper socialization. I would be thrilled to introduce you to your next beloved puppy!
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
