In The Woods Aussies
Meet the breeder
I'm Katrina P., the breeder behind In The Woods Aussies located in Paynes Creek, CA. Coming soon! We are excited to introduce our beautiful, intelligent pack to the world. Our mission is to bring healthy, happy Australian Shepherds that have great temperaments to loving homes of all kinds. These dogs are our passion, and we can't imagine spending our lives without them. Our Aussies all live inside with us and our five children (they keep things interesting), go hiking in the woods behind our home and are well socialized. Can't wait to share our pups with you in the near future!
Q. & A. with Katrina
Why did you start breeding?
After I got my first Aussie, Augie Bear, I fell in love. Dose there really need to be more of an explanation 🤷🏼♀️What makes your program special?
My breeding program is new, but I am determined to learn everything there is to know. I have a few amazing mentors and I am committed to breeding healthy well rounded Australian Shepherds not just for potential show families but all families.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
