Breeder of Australian Shepherds

Meet the breeder

I'm Denise S., the breeder behind Heart and Solberg Aussies located in Colfax, WI. Our focus is to produce quality Aussies, bred with personalities to be family pets. Each puppy has a special place in our hearts, and we take care in placing them with families who will love them as we do. They are thoroughly socialized with people, health checked, and ready to be AKC registered.

Q. & A. with Denise

  • What makes your program special?

    We are small breeder, with three beautiful girls and a very handsome boy. All of our dogs are AKC registered, genetically tested by Paw Prints, and OFA tested after age two. Each girl has a different personality, from calm to active to playful, but each one loves quiet time with their people. And our boy is always happy and good natured.

  • 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.
