Q. & A. with Andrea
Why did you start breeding?
I train service dogs and wanted to breed to raise puppies with the very best early education to set them up for success as companions and service dogs.What makes your program special?
We keep it small to give each individual puppy lots of attention and early education and training. Our families get to enjoy our Aussie-specific puppy course online and be part of our Aussie training Academy to build the best bond with their pup.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red merle and blue merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
