Q. & A. with Suzanne
Why did you start breeding?
After years of working in the veterinary field and seeing programs run incorrectly with sub-par standards, I waited until I had the opportunity to do my program right. I have placed puppies all over the US and one in Spain. My owners have reported that veterinarians praise my puppies and our program; it’s a breath of fresh air for them. Australian Shepherds are my passion, and I love spending my life with them.What makes your program special?
We focus on proper socialization and handling puppies correctly for restraint. We support our veterinarians, and our goal is to recommend the healthiest practices and most up-to-date information regarding animal health and well-being! We are very dedicated to what we do and what we are trying to achieve as breeders. We work with passion, heart, integrity, and truly want what's best for the Australian Shepherd line.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies include blue merle, red merle, red, and black. Toy Australian Shepherd puppies include black tri, blue merle, and red merle. Australian Shepherd puppies include black, red merle, blue merle, and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
