Charlotte W.

Breeder of Australian Shepherds

Meet the breeder

I'm Charlotte W., the breeder behind Country Oaks Farm located in Tehachapi, CA. We focus on producing healthy, loving, sound puppies that exhibit the best characteristics of the breed: intelligence, exuberance and an eagerness to please. Our puppies make great family dogs and/ or ranch dogs!

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.
