Q. & A. with Dan/Mary
Why did you start breeding?
Our love for Australian Shepherds inspired us to share this amazing breed with the world in a responsible way. We've worked with the breed for 15 years. It is such an honor to preserve the line of these incredible dogs all the while creating companionship for others.
What makes your program special?
We strive to breed healthy, quality pups for loving homes. The health and temperament of our puppies is our number one priority and we don't breed our dogs unless they are fully healthy and genetically tested. We're dedicated to always having responsible policies when it comes to breeding, socializing, and training our pups.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Laughing Crow Aussies allowed me the opportunity to own two amazing dogs. With patience, love, and consistent training, these Aussies respond remarkably well. Dan and Mary are very knowledgeable about the Australian Shepherd breed and truly care about the adoption process. I’ve worked with them twice and had very positive experiences both times. I would recommend Laughing Crow Aussies to anyone who is looking for a new addition to their family!
