I'm Madison M., the breeder behind High Mountain Aussies located in Oroville, WA. High Mountain Aussies is a new program but I am not new to breeding. I’ve had years of experience and I know what it takes to breed dogs that will go on to do great things. I am committed to taking that knowledge and applying it to this breeding program to ensure top quality and beautiful puppies.
Q. & A. with Madison
Why did you start breeding?
I’ve worked alongside my mom for many years now in breeding English Bulldogs. A little over a year ago my mom surprised us and brought home a little mini Aussie named Lainey. Since bringing her home, my life has completely transformed. The idea behind my decision to start breeding was solely because of her, I want nothing more than to share the opportunity to be loved by an Aussie like I was.
What makes your program special?
I am committed to breeding well-rounded, healthy, and happy puppies that can adapt to any home. I’ve done a lot of research but I will continue to learn and grow alongside the dogs. My puppies will be socialized with many things to help them be great citizens. They will be well-bred, well-loved, and ready to go on a change the world.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black & white, blue merle, black tri, red tri, and red merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Every morning the puppies have the same routine, eat their breakfast then they get to go outside on the patio while we clean their area from the night before.
Most of the times they don’t waste the chance to enjoy the sunshine but I guess breakfast filled them up nice and full so of course, a nap was in order.
Well all expect for Saffron, she likes attention way too much to join her siblings in their cuddle party! 🤣💙🩷

Or Snoopy as we like to call him, is on the playful side. He is more adventurous and has such a silly personality. He’s got a cute little tri coat and beautiful blue eyes. Ash likes to chew on his toys, and maybe his siblings!🤣

This little guy is shy at first but when you get him warmed up he’s a whole new pup. He soaks up any and all attention and enjoys playing with his favorite froggy toy!

If you’re wondering what Lainey’s pumpkin patch does all day long don’t worry, I’ll give you a little insight. Sleeping, eating, playing, and trying to figure out whats the deal with our other dogs!
It’s safe to say that the pups have pretty busy days. I mean come on, napping and eating takes effort, duh! 😆
