Meet the breeder

I'm Lisa P., the breeder behind Bon Temps Ranch located in Diberville, MS. With a Masters in Animal Science, I use scientific knowledge and hands-on expertise to produce well-rounded, healthy dogs with excellent structure, temperament, and performance potential, emphasizing careful selection, responsible breeding, and fostering strong bonds between dogs and their families.

Q. & A. with Lisa

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I grew up helping my grandmother bottle-feed her teacup Chihuahuas and knew early on I wanted to raise puppies. My parents encouraged me, and I bred Pomeranians as a teen, learning everything I could. After a college break and exploring a larger breed, I returned to breeding with passion and knowledge.
  • What makes your program special?

    I’ve been breeding dogs for 30 years, and I've owned Australian Shepherds since 2004. Raising dogs and finding them homes is all I've ever wanted to do my whole life. Each puppy is carefully socialized and nurtured from day one, so they grow confident, well-adjusted, and ready to bring joy to their forever families, because this is my passion.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include red merle, blue merle, black tri-color, and red tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
