Q. & A. with Sterling and Gia
Why did you start breeding?
My dad instilled in me a love for Aussies at an early age. I owned my first Aussie at the age of 4 and never looked back! My daughter caught the Aussie bug too, and started showing. Our ideal dog loves learning tricks and playing sports, but can also be content snuggling up with kids at home. JT, Cooper and True! fit that description, and that is why we started Cross Creek Farms.What makes your program special?
Our Dogs are AKC registered and shown. We health test all of our dogs and strive for excellence in our breeding program. Our sire JT is a member of the 2022 AKC Junior Open Agility World Championship Team USA!

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.
