I'm Victoria H., the breeder behind Howell Aussies located in Loganville, GA. My passion is raising, training and breeding to share this awesome breed. I usually only breed two times a year to ensure I am breeding top quality dogs.
Q. & A. with Victoria
Why did you start breeding?
I met my first Aussie on a trail ride years ago, the journey began shortly after that. I did my research and started searching for my first Aussie. I got her a mate and was amazed at how smart they are and how quickly they learn. I wanted to share my knowledge to enhance and better the breed so other people could also fall in love with this breed I love.
What makes your program special?
I breed only one to two litters a year and have healthy clear bloodlines. I breed very calm, easy going Aussies that are very smart and loyal for pet families or working.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black and blue merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Brucellosis
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
PawPrint Genetic Panel (Breed Specific), Multiple Drug Sensitivity (MDR1)
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
