Q. & A. with Liz

  • Why did you start breeding?

    After a few years of searching for the perfect breed, I fell in love with the intelligence, loyalty, and beauty of the Australian Shepherd.

  • What makes your program special?

    We take the time with every litter to be there during the birth , making sure each puppy is handled and exposed to our voices from the day they are born . We feel that imprinting is the first most important step for a new born puppy . I make sure to spend time with them in the welping box multiple times a day . The goal is to build that special bond of trust with humans from the very beginning . I do believe it’s what makes our dogs special . My daughter is a veterinary technician and ensures our dogs and pups receive the best care possible for the moment they are born .

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include black, red merle, blue merle, and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
