Q. & A. with Diana
Why did you start breeding?
We bought one Aussie puppy and loved him so much! We realized how wonderful this breed is. They are super smart. Easy to train and loving. It wasn't long before we decided to get another pup.

When we are around they are both loving and attentive to us.What makes your program special?
