Meet the breeder
I'm Elizabeth O., the breeder behind Heartfelt Hollow Farm located in Keyser, WV. We raise Australian Shepherds with an emphasis on health, temperament, structure, and versatility. Our goal is to produce well-rounded dogs that are equally capable of working alongside their families and settling into everyday life as devoted companions. Our dogs are part of our daily life on the farm, where they are exposed to children, livestock, poultry, horses, equipment, and a wide variety of real-world experiences. Our puppies are raised with intentional handling and age-appropriate training to give them a strong foundation before leaving for their new homes. Over the years, Heartfelt Hollow Aussies have gone on to become beloved family companions as well as working farm dogs, cattle dogs, sport and obedience prospects, and even search and rescue and medical alert prospects. We carefully consider health, temperament, and compatibility in every breeding and take pride in matching each puppy with a home where they can thrive. We remain available to our puppy families throughout the life of their dog and love watching the puppies we raise grow into the versatile, dependable companions Australian Shepherds are meant to be.
Q. & A. with Elizabeth
Why did you start breeding?
My love for Australian Shepherds started with their intelligence, versatility, and ability to fit naturally into farm and family life. I wanted to build a breeding program focused on producing healthy, sound Aussies with the temperament and ability to excel in many different homes. My goal is to produce healthy, well-rounded Australian Shepherds with excellent temperaments that can thrive as family companions, working dogs, or performance prospects.What makes your program special?
Our puppies are raised as part of our family and are involved in everyday life from the very beginning. They grow up around our three children and receive lots of individual attention, handling, play, and exposure to normal household and farm activities. We prefer our puppies to stay with their mother and littermates until at least 10 weeks of age, allowing additional time for social development, learning appropriate dog-to-dog interactions, confidence building, and individual personality development.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red & white, black & white, black, red merle, blue merle, red, 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 and a kennel on my property.
