Q. & A. with Jill
Why did you start breeding?
My husband and I loved golden retrievers. He had a gorgeous red male, and I had a beautiful light golden female. After extensive research and discussions with our veterinarian, we decided to let nature take its course.
What makes your program special?
We chose our stud with careful consideration from an excellent breeder and genetic testing. We love our fur babies as much as we love our family. They are raised in our home and given love and attention.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

About Wren
Wren is brilliant and committed to he mama. She is a protector and is always by my side. She loves going to the ranch with me and running with the horses. She is very easy to train but a bit wary of strangers. So will bark and fuss until I say "Go See".
