Q. & A. with Sara

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Approximately fourteen years ago I breed Miniature Doberman Pinschers and that is where I got my start. I took a long break and have just recently started with Australian Shepherds after falling in love with the breed.

  • What makes your program special?

    We keep all our dogs on site and are transparent about what we do. We care for all our dogs like they are family because they are.

  • 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 and a kennel on my property.

    I have named my puppy Cooper. She is just delightful to have near me. She is playful and fun as well as funny and continues to be a ball of energy. I'm so happy with the purchase process with GoodDog. Working with Sara was very pleasant. She answered all my questions and some I didn't think to ask. Sara and her husband delivered my puppy in Union City, TN without any issues and I have already recommended her to friends. Cooper follows my every step both inside and outside. She likes to run, jump, and twist around when outside on the grass.

    My goodness, I can’t even begin to explain what a wonderful experience this adoption has been. Sara is a fantastic breeder that clearly loves these animals. She was so kind to my husband and I. She kept us updated on our Addie’s growth and sent pictures regularly. When we went to pick up our new pup, she explained Addie’s care needs in detail and even provided tips on training as well as a bag to hold us over for a few days. Now about the dog! She is fantastic. First off she came to us with an understanding of potty training and use of puppy pads. She smelled fantastic as Sara gave her a bath the night before. Her personality is so vibrant and playful. She loves to cuddle and she’s quite talkative lol. She is so smart to the point she tells us when she has to potty or when she’s hungry. She learned to walk on leash really quickly and is so well mannered on walks. Her and my cat love to play tag… although my cute usually wins which Addie tends to yell about haha.She is the perfect addition to our family and we love her so very much!Thank you Sara for helping me give my husband his much deserved Christmas gift.

    We LOVE our new puppy, Cleo! We could not be happier with the process of buying her, too. Sara sent so many updates and photos throughout the process and was so quick to respond when I had a question! We would absolutely buy an Aussie from her again in the future :)

    Our first impression of Sara was nothing but good. She replied to my initial inquiry within 15 minutes and answered so many of our questions over the next week. She was always quick to reply and very informative of vet visits and health of our baby, Dolly. She updated us with pics and videos twice a week at least. We chose to drive from Florida to Kentucky to pick our girl up and they were ready for us with shot/medical records, a toy, sample bags of dog food (which lasted us about 8-9 days because we mixed with wet puppy food). Our pup is beautiful and we are so happy!

    Let me start off by telling everyone not only how easy Sara made the process of buying a puppy was but also how great her communication was! She responded very quickly and was upfront about everything. She provided pictures and videos with updates regularly and it made me and my family very happy and excited whether it was seeing our boy having fun playing with all his siblings or him getting a bath. We were getting to know him very well before ever meeting him. You can very much tell how deeply Sara cares for all of her pups and how much she works with them before they are gone to their forever home. Our first visit to the vet, the vet had nothing but good things to say about how good of a job the breeder (Sara) did and how beautiful of a puppy we had. Our pup was basically already potty trained when we brought him home. Sara and her husband were very kind and sweet when we met them on pick up day, we are so so very much thankful for everything that Sara and her husband has done throughout this entire process! Thank you so much for our boy Groot! Me and my family highly recommend Hamilton Farms!

    Sara was quick to respond to me from day one! I had a lot of questions and she always responded quickly. I found her puppies the day that were listed and picked my “Pepper” out immediately. Sara provided so may pictures and videos throughout the whole waiting process. It was fun to watch Pepper grow from looking like a guinea pig, cutest guinea pig ever, to the most adorable puppy ever at 8 weeks. I feel like I was there from day one. She sent picture and videos of puppy playtime and bath time as well. This puppy has the best temperament. I’ve only had her for 5 days, but she has been to a doctor’s appointment and was the talk of the entire building. People came from all around to see her and pet her. She might have a therapy dog title in her future. She is so pretty. That’s all I hear wherever I go. She loves every dog she has seen so far, big or small. That goes for people too. I would recommend Sara Hamilton Farms to anyone and everyone that is looking for a nice puppy/dog. We couldn’t be happier with our beautiful Australian Shepherd puppy! Denise Ratino
