Meet the breeder
I'm Teresa F., the breeder behind Folsom’s Wigglebutts located in Culpeper, VA.
Q. & A. with Teresa
Why did you start breeding?
I fell in love with the Australian Shepherd and a friend from Montana was a breeder and I loved what she was doing!What makes your program special?
I believe it’s special because we socialize the dogs with family, cats, and chickens. We also keep them clean, well fed and loved. We try to start the potty training, crate training, and teach them down early on. We also make sure they are vaccinated, registered, tails docked, dew claws removed, and Vet Health Check.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red merle and blue merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
