Q. & A. with Jill

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I wanted to make a difference. Genetic testing, coat matching, and personality. To create a happy well rounded pet a family or owner could love and call their family mwmber.

  • What makes your program special?

    I'm picky of my mom's and dad's when I purchase them. Also all our pets parents are genetically tested clear and parents have their ofa certification.

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our Aussiedoodle puppies include mini and standard sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our Aussiedoodle puppies include blue merle, red merle, black phantom, black tri-color, red phantom, and red tri-color. Australian Shepherd 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.
