Q. & A. with Abri
Why did you start breeding?
I got into breeding when my family and I purchased our first Aussie! We purchased Layla from a small breeder in my hometown! She is what started the love for this breed! We later purchased Ace who is my personal dog and our stud!
What makes your program special?
Our program is special because our puppies are well socialized and our #1 priority! We love our babies so much, it definitely makes it difficult when they leave.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies are miniature size. 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, red merle, red, and black. Toy Australian Shepherd puppies include black, red, blue merle, and red merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
