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.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience working with Donna during the purchase of my beautiful phantom mini poodle, Khyla. From day one, Donna was consistent, communicative, and genuinely invested in the wellbeing of her puppies. She kept me updated every step of the way with pictures, vet visit updates, and progress reports, which gave me so much peace of mind throughout the process. What really stood out was her dedication to education. She took the time to guide me on proper healthcare, nutrition, and even recommended tracking devices to ensure Khyla’s safety. When I brought Khyla home, I was beyond impressed. At just 8 weeks old, she was already trained to use puppy pads, which speaks volumes about the level of care and structure Donna provides. This wasn’t just a transaction, it was an experience rooted in love, professionalism, and excellence. I’m truly grateful and would highly recommend Donna to anyone looking for a well-cared-for, well-prepared puppy.
