Meet the breeder

I'm Mindy W., the breeder behind Groveland's Haus of Aus located in Holly, MI. Welcome to our Haus! We are Aaron and Mindy Williams and are very passionate about this breed. Temperament and health are our top priorities in our mate selection. Dart and Demi have been genetically tested through Embark and have had their hips graded through OFA as GOOD.

Q. & A. with Mindy

Why did you start breeding?
We are very passionate about this breed and have come to realize how important health and temperament are. Our goal has become to make sure we provide genetically sound dogs that are your once in a lifetime best friend.
What makes your program special?
Our dogs are all in our home with us. The puppies have their own room and are handled and socialized daily. When they go home they will have been exposed to all house hold noises, began their crate training, have began potty training and have been exposed to the bath tub. Our dogs are our Children.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are black tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Parent health testing

Breeder-Reported Testing

Great level

Groveland's Haus of Aus reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Australian Shepherds.

Hip Dysplasia
Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
DNA Disease Panel, Multiple Drug Sensitivity (MDR1)
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
