Q. & A. with Jeff
Why did you start breeding?
I have been in the horse business my entire life, and from this, I fell in love with Australian Shepherds and Welsh Corgis, but eventually decided that Australian Shepherds were my true passion. I wanted to breed and raise these beautiful dogs for their intelligence, looks, and loyalty to their owners.What makes your program special?
Our dedication to raising our dogs as pets and breeding and raising our puppies in the same manner as if they were going to always be a part of our family. They are introduced to as much as possible to provide them with the security to grow up loving and trusting their new family and environment. Our dogs undergo genetic testing, and we invest in their healthy start to life.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include blue merle and black tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

About Kitty
Kitty, a stunning blue merle Australian Shepherd who embodies all the best qualities of her breed. With a striking coat, soulful eyes, and an alert expression, she's a true beauty inside and out.

She thrives on mental stimulation and can quickly master new commands and tricks. Whether it's learning a new trick or performing a task, her high intelligence and focus make her a joy to train. Kitty is a wonderful and caring mother, a testament to her kind heart. She's also a natural leader who is confident in her surroundings. She is cautious around new people and situations at first, but with proper introductions, her friendly and affectionate side shines through.
