I'm Valerie A., the breeder behind Foothill Aussies located in Cool, CA. We breed for a purpose. Each dog has a goal for each line. Therapy/service, lower energy for suburb's, working line for farms.
Q. & A. with Valerie
Why did you start breeding?
I started about 6 years ago when I realize how good my Aussie was with kids with needs.
What makes your program special?
Our homes and goals. I hand deliver every puppy and make sure every dog has a home and family, never just a breeding dog.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Poodle puppies include miniature and standard sizes. Aussiedoodle puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Australian Shepherd puppies include black, red merle, blue merle, and red. Poodle puppies include apricot, brown, cream, and parti. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
