Henderson Hill Australian Shepherds
Meet the breeder
I'm Kathleen G., the breeder behind Henderson Hill Australian Shepherds located in Kensington, OH. Having a dog in our lives is such a blessing. We find so much fulfillment in providing that same companionship to other homes! We cherish each of our dogs and puppies, and we do everything we can to make sure that they get the best lives possible. That includes everything from choosing healthy parents with good temperaments, to proper socialization and daily care, to placing them in loving homes with wonderful families. We strive to provide each of our puppies and their families with a truly positive experience!
Q. & A. with Kathleen
Why did you start breeding?
We fell in love with the breed after getting our first Aussie, Joanna. It was our desire to share and educate others about the breed and breeding process. We value our good practices and enjoy every moment of matching families with their puppy.What makes your program special?
Our goal is to match people with the puppy that is right for them-even if that means they do not purchase a puppy from us. We interview and analyze each home situation and encourage a minimum of one puppy visit prior to a puppy being picked for purchase.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
