I'm Trish P., the breeder behind Diamond Ridge Aussies located in Atkinson, IL. We are a small breeding program with fantastic adult dogs with sound temperament and medium drive. Our puppies make great family dogs and have become important to special need families. We are excited to pass along a piece of these outstanding dogs to others through our breeding program.
Q. & A. with Trish
Why did you start breeding?
I fell in love with the breed and acquired two outstanding dogs whose temperament and genetics I wanted to share with others. I look for the healthiest and best temperament dogs to add to my program.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red merle, blue merle, black tri-color, and red tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
