I'm Donna R., the breeder behind Donna’s Aussies & Pink Heart Poodles located in Simms, TX. My dogs are bred with high goals of health, temperament, and correct conformation. I want my puppies to thrive in their new homes successfully.
Q. & A. with Donna
Why did you start breeding?
I have had a few Australian Shepherds over the years. I decided I wanted to breed them because they are such wonderful family and working dogs. I just want to raise puppies that are true to the breed standards.
What makes your program special?
I am a very small program. Being a smaller program allows me to be able to give each dog sufficient love, attention, and training. They are not just my dogs, they are like my children.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Poodle puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Toy Australian Shepherd puppies include black tri, blue merle, red merle, and red tri. Poodle puppies include apricot, blue, brown, cream, red, silver, white, and phantom. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
