Meet the breeder
I'm Lita U., the breeder behind FullMoon K9s’ located in Syracuse, NY. At FullMoon K9s’ we do all genetic/color testing and OFAS on our dogs. Our pups are raised in a family environment. We breed a high family temperament and calm demeanor for service dog needs and quality. We start to deworm at 2 weeks and then bi-weekly until home dates at 8 weeks.
Q. & A. with Lita
Why did you start breeding?
My love for animals my entire life let me know I wanted a career in the animal field somehow. I wanted to start a breeding program so families could surround themselves with love and build lasting memories with furry family members for years to come just as my family has done.What makes your program special?
My breeding program is special because I not only breed AKC Australian Shepards but I breed them to be family members or service dogs depending on the needs of the person they will go to their forever homes for( I start training). I breed my dogs around family and children so that from a young age they have all sorts of life experiences so that behaviors are top notch through and through.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black, red merle, blue merle, and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
