Q. & A. with Barbara
Why did you start breeding?
I got into breeding after being approached by a friend who had recently gotten a beautiful tri-colored female. This little dog was the whole package! Loving, sweet, athletic, small enough to travel anywhere and rugged enough for the farm and horse shows. I fell in love and shortly after we got our first Mini Aussie.What makes your program special?
Our breeding program is special because we truly think of our girls as family. We breed them infrequently and are very selective about their mates. We review their DNA results and carefully select males that will give them the best qualities and traits. We are not just a breeding program we are a family that is very dedicated to raising healthy puppies for loving families and exciting adventures.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are tiny size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include blue merle, black tri, and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
