Meet the breeder

I'm Nadushka D., the breeder behind Faithful Companions located in Bronson, FL. We believe in raising an Australian Shepherd is about far more than producing beautiful puppies. It is about thoughtfully developing confident, capable, well-rounded dogs and placing each puppy in a home where they can truly thrive.

Q. & A. with Nadushka

Why did you start breeding?
I started breeding a few years after my mom was breeding Golden Retriever puppies. I absolutely loved being a part of the experience and helping the puppies thrive as they grew inch by inch every week. Raising puppies is a true joy for me and we really love pairing them with their forever homes.
What makes your program special?
We ensure that our program is built around health, temperament, puppy development and lifelong relationships not only with humans, but all other farm animals as well. They are all actively being taught vocal commands and skills to becoming the greatest companions a family could ever ask for.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include blue merle and black tri. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Bambi is absolutely amazing; she loves to roam the house, play outside in the yard with everyone and chase others while we play fetch throwing the ball around. She is very mellow in temperament, socialized and attentive.
