Haven Aussies
- Mountain View, MO
Meet the breeder
I'm Cali H., the breeder behind Haven Aussies located in Mountain View, MO. My husband Boone and I are striving to raise healthy, mellow, and kind AKC pups that'll excel as family companions, therapy dogs, and service dogs. We're so excited about each story God wrote before He formed our pups, and we're here to walk alongside them and their new families in this crazy life.
Q. & A. with Cali
What makes your program special?
At Haven Aussies, our pups are born into our family. Our three young kids snuggle and play with them daily. On our 5-acre farm, our pups are around our free-range chickens, and we frequently take them on walks through the woods with our family. We raise our pups 100% naturally (no vaccines or chemical dewormers) and feed them raw meaty bones as they wean off mama's milk.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.

About Kaya
Meet Kaya, our snuggly Aussie gem that perfectly complements our family of five. Daily life for Kaya on our small farm involves playing fetch outside, hiking trails in our woods alongside the kids, or enjoying her favorite spot on the hearth--and if she's lucky, an invitation onto the couch for extra snuggles. :)

Parent health testing
Good level
Haven Aussies 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 (Preliminary)
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.
Brucellosis
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
DNA Disease Panel, PawPrint Genetic Panel (Breed Specific)
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).

Cali responded quickly and clearly. They were well informed and expanded my knowledge about care and nutrition. Our pup is very healthy, playful, and friendly. Pickup was easy and we were given a lovely care package to make the trip and transition to a new home a smooth one. My experience with both Cali and the good dog has been an extremely positive one:)

We adopted a puppy from Haven Aussies. He’s a precious, well tempered and super loving dog. He’s so smart. Cali is an amazing person - and raises beautiful and amazing Aussies. I’m happy to speak with anyone about our experience. We drove several hours to get Blue, and we are so happy with that decision. Cali is honest, and her family is super loving. A pleasure all the way around. Kim

Cali and Boone were truly amazing. I loved getting to know all about my puppy and them in the process. They breed some of the sweetest puppies in the world. When we were sent home with our puppy we were given the sweetest framed photo of her and it is the perfect touch in our home!
