Q. & A. with Casey
Why did you start breeding?
Longing to own many Aussies, my journey into breeding was motivated by a desire to make a positive impact on the Australian Shepherd breed, all while understanding the importance of responsible breeding practices. Which include maintaining the health and well-being of the dogs while being mindful of costs. This commitment led me to establish Centerfire Mini Aussies, where we prioritize the health and genetics of our dogs without compromising on quality or breaking the bank. It's about finding that balance between responsible breeding and financial feasibility, all in the name of preserving the breed we love.
