I'm Angelina J., the breeder behind Hillside Aussies located in Escondido, CA. We are proud to be Australian Shepherd breeders and raise quality, purebred, STANDARD sized Aussies registered with AKC and/or ASCA. Australian Shepherds are the only breed and primary focus at Hillside. All of our dams and sires are genetically tested and have the most comprehensive DNA test completed because health is a priority to us in any litter that we breed.
We are nestled in the beautiful hills of Southern California on a 500 acre ranch. Which enables our Aussies to run, play and enjoy life like this breed really loves to do.
Their days are spent following us around in and out of our home. They enjoy watching over our kids playing or chasing balls and rolling around in the grass at what we call “the park” on our ranch, taking a dip in the pond and of course laying around the house being loved up on or played with by the kids. Our dogs are part of our family. They love to give love and be loved. Our pups are very confident and acclimated to noises, kids, and other dogs. Each puppy is cared for and gets individual handling and attention until they go to their forever home. Our goal is to produce healthy, structurally sound Australian Shepherds with outstanding temperaments. We are also passionate about keeping our puppies natural tail, however fluffy or long it may be.
They are exactly what we hoped our Aussies would be - the perfect family dogs… 🐾.
