Q. & A. with Sarah
Why did you start breeding?
We fell in love with our first Australian Shepherd. We loved her loyalty, willingness to please, and gentleness. Because of our love of her and the breed, we decided to share the love of the Australian Shepherd with others by breeding them.
What makes your program special?
Our dogs are our family members first and foremost. We strive to give them the proper care and attention they need. Our puppies are whelped inside our home and are handled daily. They are moved by four weeks, to climate-controlled facilities where they learn to use a doggie door at five weeks. At five to six weeks, they've learned to potty outdoors. They have large penned-in areas where they can run, play and explore. We spend time playing with them striving to make their time with us happy, and fun; but yet preparing them for their new forever homes and making it an easier transition for them. We are licensed by the state of Texas, license # 358.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include blue merle, black tri, red tri, and red merle. 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.

Sarah was very nice and responded quickly to any questions I had. We loved going to pick up our new puppy from her and seeing all of the beautiful dogs she had! We named our puppy Bear and he is just the sweetest little thing ever. He gets along great with our current Aussie. We had an amazing experience!

Going to see Sarah was a great experience in buying our new fur baby named Lucy. She has a great love for all her Aussies. They were well taken care off. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you Sarah. We've had her now for 2 weeks have had a few hiccups in the evening mostly. She has really taken up with our other Aussies.

Working with Sarah was a fantastic experience start to finish! She was quick to respond, and went above and beyond to ensure that all my questions were answered. Speaking with her at length, it was obvious that she cared deeply about her pups, and finding the “just right” home for each of them. We love little River. He is healthy, super intelligent, and adjusting well to his new life in Colorado! Thank you, Sarah!
