Q. & A. with Adan
Why did you start breeding?
I launched my breeding program because I have a genuine love for Aussies and found that there was a lack of affordable, quality breeders in my area.What makes your program special?
My breeding program is unique because I value health testing and quality, yet maintain affordable prices.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black, red merle, blue merle, and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
