Meet the breeder

I'm Jeff C., the breeder behind Burning Heart Aussies located in Fort Lauderdale, FL. Located in beautiful South Florida, we are dedicated breeders of Australian Shepherds. We are committed to raising beautiful Aussies that truly embody the breed's famous loving, sweet, and amazing temperament. Raised at home, our dogs are well-socialized and given ample space to play and grow.

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.

Good level

    Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.

  • Vet Wellness Exam

    A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.

  • DNA Disease Panel

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).

Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
