Q. & A. with Lila

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We love this breed! Our dogs have brought us so much love and happiness that we decided to start our own responsible breeding program by producing the highest quality dogs and providing them a wonderful life with wonderful families.
  • What makes your program special?

    Our love for the breed is reflected in the personal touch we put into making sure the addition of your new puppy is a truly joyful experience. We are dedicated to always providing you with a positive experience, which includes remaining committed to responsible practices when it comes to breeding, training, and rehoming our puppies.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our Australian Shepherd puppies include blue merle and black tri-color. Siberian Husky puppies include gray and white, red and white, black and white, and white. 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.

    Lila was very kind and cooperative. She seems very responsible and like she take great care of her puppies. She was knowledgeable and answered all my questions. She also allowed me to meet the puppy beforehand. I'm so happy with my puppy, Jasper, and I wish Lila and her puppies all the best.

    Lila was wonderful to work with. We love our new addition to the family and have named her Luna! She is settling in wonderfully with her big puppy sisters! You can tell Lila took time and care in breeder Luna, she was so attentive since day one, she is mild mannered and is just so wonderful. We highly recommend working with Lila and her pups if you’re looking for a great breeder, she is responsive and easy to work with from start to finish!

    Lila was responsive to my communications. We had to fly the puppy due to distance and it went well between us. “Flynn” arrived in great shape and is just what he appeared to be online. I am very happy with the puppy and experience.
