I'm Lea D., the breeder behind Doe-Trails Toy Aussies located in Saint Martin County, LA. I’m a small-scale breeder of adorable Toy Aussie puppies. I produce each litter with a special focus on structure, health, coat quality, and genetics to ensure quality pups. Once a litter is on the ground, I carefully hand-raise each puppy to ensure a reliable temperament and cherished companionship. I love what I do and strive to produce the best puppies for my buyers!
Q. & A. with Lea
Why did you start breeding?
I have always been passionate about the well-being of animals. I wanted to put my passion to good use! It's been a joyful commitment, and it is a pleasure to live with, work with, and share with others these wonderful dogs.
What makes your program special?
Doe-Trails Toy Aussies are dedicated to only breeding dogs that we know are excellent representations of the standard and will make a positive contribution to their line and to the families who love them. As breeders, we are stewards of the future of the breed, so we are careful to always have ethical breeding practices. This includes proper health testing, intentional breeding for specific traits, and raising our puppies with proper socialization. We love spoiling and pampering our dogs, and hope that our puppies' new homes will love and cherish them just as much as we do!
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
