Q. & A. with Emma
Why did you start breeding?
I decided to start breeding after i got my first australian shepherd from another breeder. Unfortunatly he has a lot of health issues due to poor breeding and ever since then I have made it my mission to ethically breed dogs.What makes your program special?
My program is very small which gives me time to give each puppy special attention. I poor my heart and soul into these puppies so they can become the kind of dog that I am proud to have bred. dont hesitate to email me to find out more information on up coming litters clayridgeaussies@gmail.comWhere do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
