Q. & A. with Michelle
Why did you start breeding?
I have been a dog groomer since 2006. I also live on a farm. After encountering a few Mini Australian Shepherds at work, I really wanted to add one to our family. After buying my first in 2017, I quickly wanted a second. I love this breed's personality and eagerness to please. After getting my second female, genetic testing, and lots of research, I decided I wanted to find the complimentary male.What makes your program special?
I feel that the time spent with my puppies while they are young truly forms them into well-rounded, socialized individuals. I am proud of the time, effort, and love I put into each pup.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include blue merle and red merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
