I'm Terri H., the breeder behind Libre Winds Australian Shepherds located in Weston, CO. I am an ASCA/AKC breeder of standard Australian Shepherds ONLY! Our dogs are bred specifically for our own family/farm needs so pups will be available on a very limited basis & Libre Winds owners will be a very exclusive group. We are committed to producing pups that are EXCEPTIONAL in every way!
Q. & A. with Terri
Why did you start breeding?
I was raised with the Aussie breed. My family has raised Australian Shepherds from the 1960's. I was gifted my first Aussie on my 7th birthday. Having been raised with the breed, to be surrounded by Aussies is just how life needs to be. Reviews from our puppies' owners can be provided upon request.
What makes your program special?
Our dogs are our family first & litters are planned to fulfill our own family/farm/show needs. When we do produce litters, we are committed to the production of Australian Shepherds that honor the history & foundations set forth by our breed registry (ASCA). Firm foundations make the dog -preserving our breed as it was originally intended is paramount!
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.
