J&J Aussies
Meet the breeder
I'm John S., the breeder behind J&J Aussies located in Boulder, CO. On May 18, our beloved Riley gave birth to eight beautiful puppies. Riley is our sweet black-tri Aussie. We brought her into our family with the hopes that she would be an incredible outdoor companion and that one day, our kids could enjoy and witness a dog having puppies. Both hopes came true.
Q. & A. with John
Why did you start breeding?
I promised my children we would have puppies some day.What makes your program special?
We are not a volume breeder. This is our first and possibly our only litter. Our kids dote on these puppies every waking hour, and we meticulously watch after them. Our puppies come from an AKC Champion Bloodline. Both parents, Riley and Mack, have champion relatives.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include blue merle and black tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
