Meet the breeder

I'm Haley C., the breeder behind Danell Australian Shepherd located in Appomattox, VA. Our dogs are family first and are treated as such. They all live in the house with us and enjoy lounging on the couch during the day and sleeping in my room at night. We extensively health test our Australian Shepherds and also show in conformation, agility, rally, and dock diving.

Q. & A. with Haley

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Danell Aussies is built upon a foundation of love, admiration, and respect for the Australian Shepherd! I strive to produce outstanding puppies that are structurally sound, healthy, intuitive, and have wonderful temperaments. My focus is to not only produce beautiful, quality puppies but to help set the standard for responsible breeding in order to ensure that the Australian Shepherd will continue to thrive for generations to come.
  • What makes your program special?

    My program is special because I am dedicated to doing my part to better the breed by producing puppies of superior, health, temperament, structure, and are correct representations of the breed standard. I know the health and status of every dog I have bred and am proud of the temperament and conformation of my puppies. I love matching healthy, happy puppies with loving families. This is where amazing temperament, intelligence, and beauty meet!
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Haley was very accommodating, even met us with her two females so we could choose our beautiful Lilly. It was hard but she left us know after we picked that the other little girl was going to have a forever home, also. Lilly is sweet and a fast learner, as Aussies usually are. We are very glad we found our new ❤️❣️
