Q. & A. with Charlotte
Why did you start breeding?
We breed dogs because we love dogs! Our dogs bring us immense joy. They make us laugh, they comfort us when we need them to, and they protect our family. We breed our dogs because we want to share that joy with all of you! Breeding allows us to make extra income while doing something we love, caring for animals, and while playing a part in you adding a new member to your family!What makes your program special?
We are committed to responsible breeding. We are licensed breeders through Kern County of California. Our dogs undergo multiple health tests recommended by the national breed club and are cleared of health concerns before being bred. We also obtain a full DNA panel on each of our dogs before breeding them to ensure they don’t have any health issues that might be passed on to their pups.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black & white, red merle, and blue merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Australian Shepherd
About Bentley
Bentley is a strong, fun-loving, agile Australian Shepherd. He is incredibly intelligent and loves to learn. He enjoys structured play (such as agility) and free play with the rest of our pack just the same. He is protective of his family and territory, but also incredibly sweet. He is affectionate and loves our 1 year old son. He exhibits all the best characteristics of an Aussie: intelligence, strong work drive and lots of energy. He comes from a line of working dogs, bred to herd cattle.

Dolly, mom
Australian Shepherd
About Dolly
Dolly is a sweetheart to her core. She is incredibly eager to please her family. She loves to play and snuggle with Bentley (our male Aussie), and she loves to be pet and paid attention to. She is incredibly gentle with our one year old son. She has a very natural instinct to herd, always keeping our animals (and us!) in line. She is the perfect family dog! Always willing to play with the kids, but also willing to relax on the couch. Dolly is on the small end of the breed standard and her pups are expected to be 40-50 lbs. as adults.
