I'm Cassandra P., the breeder behind CKO Country Road Aussies located in Helmville, MT. We love this breed and the experience of having litters! Our mission is to raise pups that are set to become the best companions. We raise our litters in our home to help set the foundation for happy and confident puppies to transition well into their forever homes. It’s a privilege to have the opportunity to make an impact on each individual puppy!
Q. & A. with Cassandra
Why did you start breeding?
I had one Aussie when I was young and fell deeply in love with the breed along with studying more on the breed. I decided I wanted to get into breeding to better the breed of the pups that are available. I looked for a female that I fell in love with that had the markings and appropriate pedigree. I now have two females do some AI and live cover with another breeder.
What makes your program special?
What is special with our breeding program is we will match you up with a pup that is a great fit for you. Our pups are handled since birth, experience children and other animals. Pups will be set up to succeed with new family when it’s time for them to go. Our pups are raised in our home they receive all the love and learning.
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, black tri, red tri, and red merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
