Meet the breeder

I'm Lakeisha D., the breeder behind Good Karma Aussies located in Charlotte, NC. We decided to start breeding to share the best possible puppies with excellent personalities, temperament, and most of all health! Our love for our dogs pushed us to begin breeding. We love to see the results of our efforts in the happy, and healthy puppies that we’re able to share with others.

Q. & A. with Lakeisha

  • What makes your program special?

    I have 15+ years in emergency veterinary medicine, giving me hands-on experience to monitor health, behavior, and development from day one. I raise Australian Shepherds for their intelligence, loyalty, and loving nature, focusing on early socialization, gentle handling, and observing each puppy’s personality to produce happy, confident, and well-adjusted companions ready for loving homes.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include red merle, blue merle, and black tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Lakeisha made the entire process incredibly smooth from start to finish. She guided us through every step and made sure we always felt supported and informed. Throughout the process, she regularly updated us with messages, photos and the progress of our puppy. Those updates meant so much to us! Ziggy (Drako) has added so much happiness to our lives. He is a playful, energetic and loving puppy and we can’t get enough of him and his personality. He is exactly as Lakeisha described him. Ziggy is a perfect addition to our family. When we received our Ziggy he was spotless, healthy and clearly raised in a nurturing environment. We truly appreciated how well she takes care of the puppies and you can see the love, time, and attention each puppy gets before they go to their forever homes. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to work with, we are beyond grateful! Her 15+ years in experience in veterinary care adds peace of mind when it comes to the puppies health care. You would not be disappointed in working with Lakeisha!

    We had a good experience with Lakeisha. Her communication was consistent and informative. Best of all, Charlie is a healthy puppy who has exceeded our expectations. He is steady and curious. It is clear that he has been handled with care and love.
