Guiding Light Aussies
Meet the breeder
I'm Dior D., the breeder behind Guiding Light Aussies located in Corona, CA. We focus on intentional breeding so that we can produce quality puppies that are excellent representations of the standard. Our goal is to ensure every dog that comes from our program is set up to live a happy and healthy life and is prepared for its future role when it leaves our care. We provide each of our pups with lots of socialization and love, and we are dedicated to maintaining responsible breeding policies.
