Comeback Aussies

Pat P.

Breeder of Australian Shepherds

Meet the breeder

I'm Pat P., the breeder behind Comeback Aussies located in New Bruswick, NJ. My main priority when breeding is the longevity of my dogs and puppies. My dogs are raised on a home based (non-kibble) diet. Parents will be clear on genetic health panels.

Q. & A. with Pat

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I have always been passionate about the well-being of animals. I breed to the ASCA standard. I strive for quality and excellence with everything that I do. Holding myself to high standards is paramount to the well-being of my dogs and to the integrity of my program.
  • What makes your program special?

    I focus on breeding dogs with enough working drive to keep up with my lifestyle, have amazing health and intelligence, and quickly adapt to a calm family setting. I love my dogs, and I'm passionate about what I do here at Comeback Aussies. I take pride in my work, and I look forward to connecting with you!
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
