Q. & A. with Lisa
Why did you start breeding?
I have a friend who is a breeder and I watched and learned from her while starting my business after retirement. Raising Aussie’s was an easy choice for me because I have had them and loved the breed my whole life.
What makes your program special?
My program is special because I have hand picked beautiful, well bred dogs to start my program. These dogs are super smart, built correctly, and bred to have amazing offspring. My operation is small enough that each dog gets special attention from me each day.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our 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?
Our Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies include black & white, red & white, blue merle, black tri, red tri, and red merle. Australian Shepherd puppies include red & white, black & white, red merle, blue merle, black tri-color, and red tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

Lisa was a pleasure to work with. She was very repsosive and so patient with us as we asked question after question about her program and Stella, now Kali, the dog we were adding to our family. She was available for phone calls and FaceTimes whenever we had a question.
Due to us living out of state we had to send our new puppy via AirCargo on American Airlines and Lisa coordinated this all for us making sure the puppy was sent as quickly, efficiently and saftley as possible. Even with a few set backs due to our schedule, as well as hot weather issues, Lisa was able to move the flights around to make things as smooth as possible.
When we recieved Kali she came healthy and happy. When Lisa said she socializes her puppies, she is being modest. Kali was very happy to meet our other dog, a 9 year old German Shepard/Husky mix. Kali was already trianed on using a doggy door, and very quick took to be potty trained, I have a feeling Lisa's set up at her home helped contribute to this.
We are very happy with Kali and couldt have had a better experience with working with Lisa. I would recomment Lisa to anyone looking to add an Astralian Shepard to their family.

Lisa was wonderful — knowledgeable, caring, and great to work with . She answered all of my questions throughout the entire process. It’s clear how much she loves and cares for her dogs. Benny is well-socialized, people-focused, and truly one of a kind companion. The entire experience was smooth and easy from start to finish. I highly recommend anyone looking for an Aussie to choose Lisa — you won’t be disappointed!

Lisa was a joy to work with,she was able to answer all my questions and inform me on some things I wasn't aware of since I haven't owned a dog in 20 years. Denver has been such a great companion in my life . I would truly recommend Lisa!
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
