Meet the breeder

I'm Deanna S., the breeder behind Dirty Laundry Australian Shepherds located in San Jose, CA. We take great care planning each litter to ensure we are producing puppies that are exemplary representations of the breed. It is our passion to share these incredible dogs and help ensure the future of the breed.

Q. & A. with Deanna

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Working with a mentor and co-breeder.

  • What makes your program special?

    We put a tremendous amount of time into breeding a better Aussie. With each litter we are breeding to produce offspring that are as good or better than each parent. We use outside stud service and occasionally lease or co-own females to breed. We also enjoy showing and competing with our dogs, earning titles is the acknowledgment of peers that we are successful.

  • 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.

    Verified owner · Sept. 2024

    Deanna is very passionate and cares about the Aussie breed. The process to get a puppy was straightforward, and I met Deanna at her home with her dogs and puppies. She does an amazing job at taking care of all of them, which I find amazing because it’s quite a lot of work. Nonetheless, the dogs and puppies are well taken care of. The first visit I had was just a meet and greet with the puppies, and I asked as many questions as I could. Deanna was nice enough to steer me to a good puppy, because they’re all over me and makes it quite difficult to differentiate. The second visit was when I picked up the puppy and she went over all the paperwork, food, and toys for the pup. Overall, Deanna is a wealth of knowledge, and it shows she is an example of what a good and reputable breeder is. I highly recommend her! Also, she’s super friendly and nice! 😃
