Meet the breeder

I'm Jarilyn W., the breeder behind GatorHeaven Aussies located in Archer, FL. I am dedicated to the preservation of my breed. I do all pertinent health testing. I strive to make sure every owner has the ability to get the very best out of their puppy. I love the Australian Shepherd breed and love having the opportunity to share these incredible dogs with others.

Q. & A. with Jarilyn

  • Why did you start breeding?

    With the help of 3 mentors in my breed. I was very lucky to have them help and learn from.
  • What makes your program special?

    Our puppies are very well socialized, we do the Volhard testing, our pups are raised underfoot while being exposed to many different sights and sound. Pups go to their new homes with spay/neuter contracts for companion pups and co-owns on show puppies. Plus eyes cleared and first set of shots. WE DO not place puppies by color or eye color. We place puppies based on the homes they are going to. All COMPANION puppies are sold on spay/neuter contracts. Show puppies go out on co owned only.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
