Meet the breeder
I'm Ashley D., the breeder behind Dusty Spring Australian Shepherds, LLC located in East Berlin, PA. Our dogs are health tested and health certified to produce quality puppies.

Q. & A. with Ashley
Why did you start breeding?
I spent a good part of the 5 years researching every aspect of the breed, it's character traits, genetics, and confirmation.What makes your program special?
My small breeding operation started in 2016. My dogs are raised in our home and the pups are socialized from the day they are born. I take great care to ensure the health (genetic and physical) are up to standards for both our adult dogs and the puppies. Not to mention they are a bit spoiled! We typically raise 3-4 litters each year.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies include tiny and miniature sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies include blue merle, black tri, red tri, and red merle. Toy Australian Shepherd puppies include black tri, blue merle, red merle, and red tri. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Courtney P.
Verified owner · Nov. 2024
Ashley was such a wonderful person to work with in selecting a puppy for our home. She was patient with my questions and concerns and offered recommendations as needed. Once we selected our Pippa she was happy to provide video and picture updates weekly so we could watch her grow. We were so impressed we ended up going home with another puppy from a different litter. I would definitely work with Ashley and Dusty Springs again in the future.
