I'm Gretta C., the breeder behind GC Aussiedoodles located in Jefferson City, MO. I fell in love with Mini American Shepherds years ago with a very good family friend began breeding them. I often tried many times (joking mostly) to sneak a puppy home with me. I enjoy doing different things & knew that raising puppies for people to fall in love with was it for me. Doodles!
Q. & A. with Gretta
Why did you start breeding?
As a young girl I often helped a close family friend with her kennel. After cleaning poop (not the most fun part) I would sit for hours playing with puppies- snuggling and brushing their coats. I would hear the stories of how happy new families were with their new puppies. With my experience on the farm I knew I would be good at and REALLY enjoy having puppies to share with people.
What makes your program special?
I like to do FaceTime/video conference with new puppy families to meet each other & you meet your puppy.
I breed Mini American Shepherds (just like Australian Shepherds) as they are REALLY SMART and Mini Poodles because they are REALLY CUTE. Whatever the breed, it has to be done the right way. All of my dogs have been genetically tested & will have problem free puppies.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are mini size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

Gretta was so knowledgeable about the breed, gave us weekly updates on our puppy too. She was so responsive about any questions we had. It went really smooth. I really like that you can tell they are so great and care a lot about all the dogs and puppies. I would definitely recommend her.

My new puppy was everything Gretta described to me and more. I wasn’t sure about buying a puppy online but Gretta made the process so easy. We FaceTimed so I could meet my little girl. I have had several people ask for my breeders information. I’ll definitely be recommending AC Aussiedoodle.
