I'm Christine F., the breeder behind CJ Farm and Kennels located in Bethlehem, GA. We breed the loyal, smart, loving Australian Shepherds. There is no better, more well-rounded dog out there in our opinion. We are dedicated to giving each of our dogs and puppies the tools they need to optimize the qualities they are bred for and reach their full potential. We love sharing these dogs with others.
Starting in Fall 2023 we will have moved our location to GA, but will be offering some transport services to FL and surrounding areas within 4 hours of our home. We have such a strong base in FL we want to be able to continue to get you the perfect puppies.
Q. & A. with Christine
Why did you start breeding?
We wanted to be more involved with animals. Aussies have brought us so much joy and we wanted to share that joy with others.
What makes your program special?
Our program is special because of the love and dedication that goes into it! We strive to find the perfect home for each puppy. We offer FaceTime videos or home visits (after first vaccines). We will answer any question even if it is about a puppy from someone else. We want everyone to have the dog of their dreams even if it isn’t from us.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
