Q. & A. with Susan
Why did you start breeding?
Our horses escaped on I80 west of Reno, Nv, and were running on the interstate. A man with an Aussie gathered them up with ease and was able to place them back in their pasture. Not too long after, we acquired our first Aussie, Levi. The rest is history.What makes your program special?
Our goal is to produce healthy, well structured, stable puppies. 4 year health guarantee Lifetime support. OFA hip/elbow clearances, eye exams, DNA testing.
