Q. & A. with Shellie
Why did you start breeding?
I got my first Aussie from another breeder, who asked me to co-breed a litter with her. I have always loved dogs and was excited to establish my breeding program. I have enjoyed the journey, and I am a proud breeder with a focus on temperament and the overall mental and physical health of my puppies. I am passionate about placing happy, healthy puppies with loving families.
