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.

Radon, dad
Australian Shepherd
About Radon
Radon is a sweet. gentle male who loves the old fashioned game of chasing sticks. He is always happy and has a wonderful good natured personality. He loves everyone and is famous for bumping our hands up to get some pets and affection. Radon has a thick beautiful blue merle coat and full tail. His coat is especially soft around his neck and chest.
Bella, mom
Australian Shepherd
About Bella
Bella is a happy girl who loves life. Her favorite thing to do when she is excited is to smother our elderly dog with kisses while doing the Aussie butt wiggle. She has plenty of energy, but winds down very quickly when it's rest time. She loves to play fetch and attacks the ball with a vengeance. But her fight with the ball is the only aggressiveness she ever shows. AKC registered standard.
Lilly, mom
Australian Shepherd
About Lilly
Lilly is our gentlest dog and gets along with everyone. She is calm, mildly active, and would rather chew on a bone than chase a ball. She has beautiful rich dark coat, "freckles" on her nose and legs, and a full tail.
Bridgett, mom
Australian Shepherd
About Bridgett
Bridgett is a female Australian Shepherd. Carefully selected as a great representative of her breed, Denise decided to make her part of their program. Denise has passed Good Dog’s screening process, which involved a review of their breeding practices, environment, and the mental and physical health of their dogs.
