Colibri Acres And Farm
Meet the breeder
I'm Xuxa G., the breeder behind Colibri Acres And Farm located in Mc Alisterville, PA. Our program began with love for the breed and passion to produce the ideal companion. We strive to produce dogs that are sound of mind and body, excel in all categories (show, sport, stock), have ideal temperament and personalities, and above all are the perfect companion for any of your needs.
Q. & A. with Xuxa
Why did you start breeding?
My love for the breed and decades of researching led me to see the gap that is being formed; conformation or working lines and nothing in between. Australian Shepherds use to be known as well rounded dogs and yet its hard to find a dog that fits this category. This is what ultimately led me to realize that I wanted to make an impact and better the breed by breeding dogs that embody versatility.What makes your program special?
I think the level of dedication and commitment we put into every dog we own makes us unique. We aren’t just purchasing dogs to breed in our program. We first select prospects then observe and train them to see if they have the traits and skills to be able to working stock, be shown in conformation, agility, dock diving and other rallies before we select dogs into our program to be bred.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 guardian homes.

Mia, mom
Australian Shepherd
About Mia
Mia is our newest addition to our program. Sweet as a button and as bashful as a wallflower this girl is a real gem. Coming all the way from Alabama to join us. Mia is a unique soul. She's jumped from a few different programs though to no fault of her own before coming to us so we are unaware of most of her past. What we do know is that this girl used to be owned by a cattle farmer as a puppy and can work stock with ease. Though if its attributed to her Slash V or Pincie Creek working lines we cannot say. She's taken to our livestock with ease and has worked our goats, chickens and even pigs. She's quick as a whip, affectionate, biddable, and attentive to us . We are very pleased with how well she's integrated into our pack its as though she's been with us from the very beginning. We love this girl and everything she's brought to our lives. ***Retired***
