Meet the breeder

I'm Jesse G., the breeder behind Gemfire Australian Shepherds located in Muncie, IN. ​​​I am dedicated to breeding a dog of both sound mind and body, with health, temperament, and structure being my top priorities. I breed as close to the ASCA and AKC breed standards as possible, and I strive with every litter to preserve the breed, while producing fantastic family companions that can do anything asked of them. I am a breeder dedicated to building a strong program of correct dogs that meet my best interpretation of the standards as I have been taught them by my mentors. My goal is to preserve the Australian Shepherd as it was meant to be for many generations to come; a truly versatile dog, that can work all day in any capacity asked of it and sleep on your bed at night.

Q. & A. with Jesse

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I wanted to produce a healthy, long-lived dog with a lifetime of support and knowledge for the average pet buyer.

  • What makes your program special?

    My dogs have amazing correct Aussie temperaments, neither aggressive nor shy, friendly when asked and appropriately protective when needed. They excel in all venues from service and therapy to herding and search and rescue, and everything in between. I breed for a balanced mix of working and show lines to preserve and protect the truly versatile dog that can do everything asked of them.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include red merle, blue merle, black tri-color, and red tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    We love our Gemfire puppy! It’s clear that Jessica is thoughtful about the foundation her puppy litters receive. He arrived with all paperwork of course, but in addition, he’s socialized, used to the crate, sleeps (mostly) through the night and already walks willingly on a leash in our yard. He understands pottying outside and is very brave with noises and new people. Our work will continue where she left off but we are grateful for the detailed basics that were “pre-installed” on our lovely puppy! Thank you!
