Q. & A. with Meda,

  • Why did you start breeding?

    How I got into breeding toy Aussies . I grew up with standard Aussies my whole life. Once I moved out and got married I bought my first toy Aussies . I’ve always loved Aussies and small dogs so having a small Aussie was perfect for me. Then I decided I wanted to breed them and try and better the breed where I could. And to give families the same experience I had growing up with a Aussie by there side :)

    Hydden Aussies is truly incredible! Meda puts so much effort and care into her program and her puppies. Little “Spice” (Our new girl) is the second pup we’ve gotten from her. Both of these babies have the most remarkable temperaments and have been very well socialized from the very start. Meda also genuinely strives to breed her Aussies to breed standard and focuses intently on genetics, health and disposition. As a fellow breeder, obedience trainer, and dog handler (for show), I can honestly say that Hydden Aussies is one of the select few breeders that I would get a dog from for our own program. Meda wants to continually improve the breed through each and every generation, which she always does. Her passion and dedication to her dogs is sooo obvious and it’s amazing. I would highly recommend Hydden Aussies! You will, without a doubt, have one of the best dogs EVER should you consider one of hers for your family! If you want a healthy, loving, well socialized pup that conforms to the Australian Shepherd breed standard (but in a smaller package!), Meda with Hydden Aussies is your breeder!!
