Q. & A. with Shelie
Why did you start breeding?
I, Shelie, grew up with Aussies as pets and feel in love with the loyalty, intelligence, and overall willingness to please. About ten years ago I fell in love with two Aussies, Beaux and Valor, from there my passion to share this affectionate, velcro, breed bloomed into Haven Farms.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black, red merle, blue merle, red, dilute red, and dilute blue. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?

Litter and program updates
Shelie E.
Litter update on 29 Apr. •…We’re down to just three sweet girls from our Love Struck litter — and each one is ready to find her forever home! Lily is our tiniest and most tender-hearted. She’s gentle, affectionate, and loves to be close. She’s a little shadow pup who thrives on connection and calm energy. We expect Lily to stay on the smaller side, making her perfect for someone looking for a dainty and devoted companion. Heartly is full of life and charm! She’s smart, confident, and always ready for the next adventure. Whether it’s learning something new or running around the puppy run, Heartly brings joy wherever she goes. She’s likely to mature slightly larger than her parents’ size (48 -55 lbs) and would do well in an active home that wants a best friend with both brains and heart. Lovely is exactly what her name says — lovely in every way! She’s playful, affectionate, and so eager to please. She’s a little bigger than Lily, and we expect her to mature to closely to her parents size (45lbs). Lily has a soft spirit and a friendly nature that makes her easy to love. She’d be a great fit for just about any family. All three girls are: • Crate trained for naps and overnight • Used to a structured schedule (fed twice daily at 7:30 AM and 4:30 PM) • Given both indoor and outdoor playtime depending on the weather • Socialized with one-on-one time and group play • Raised on our country property with lots of room to explore under supervision If one of these girls speaks to your heart, send us a message — we’d love to help you find your perfect match!

Best experience ever!! I contacted Shelie about the ultimate surprise for my husband. An Australian Shepherd puppy for our 27th anniversary. She was so great to work with about everything! And was more than willing to talk with me to help keep the secret. She sent pictures and updates. Texted with answers to any questions I had. I was kept fully up to date on everything. We were both of the same mind that the puppy's health and well being were paramount. Transport was arranged and our puppy arrived in great health and spirit! I was able to give my husband a wonderful companion and surprise. He and our new little man Jasper bonded immediately. They took one look at each other and best buds were born! Since Jasper (formally known as Chris Stapleton) has come to be part of our family, we have continuously been entertained by his sweet, goofy puppy nature. He has become a full member of our family in such a short amount of time. He is so smart and watches and learns so quickly. I cannot recommend Shelie and Haven Farms enough. I truly feel that they aren't just providing dogs, but are deeply invested in helping to expand your family. And our family will forever be thankful to theirs.

+4Shelie and Andy are wonderful to work with. They provide perfectly rounded pups and genuinely cared about the bonding. This wonderful pup, Rocky, (aka Red Rock) Is loyal, intelligent and gorgeous. It was obvious this was the best choice of breeders. The follow up emails and texts assured me they are not in it for the money, but love and care for every pup. We made a 2000 mile trip to Montana within 2 week's, and I could not have asked for a better traveling companion. Rocky and my 3 year old Border Collie were immediately friends. God bless you!

I enjoyed working with Shelie and Andy so much. You can certainly tell that they love your puppy before you even meet them. My husband and I wanted to get our older puppy a buddy to play with and came across Haven Farms. I was a little nervous at first about the whole process, but they FaceTimed me so I could meet them and my puppy (Cowboy) before making a decision…I fell in love with him as soon as she put the camera on him. Shelie helped walk me through the whole process and was very informative. She and Andy want the best for you and your pup. During our meeting when picking up Cowboy, she answered every question I could have had before I could even ask it. Cowboy loves playing with his brother, they keep me on my toes. I am very thankful for Shelie and Andy’s kindness and love for all the puppies. I hope one day to be able to work with them again!

We were looking for an Aussie breeder in MS and we came across Haven Farms! One look at Soda Pop (Arroyo) and we fell in LOVE. We’re so happy with him! Also the people here are extremely sweet and respond very fast. I definitely recommend them!
