I'm Lisa S., the breeder behind Lisa Schmidt located in Chico, CA. We offer quality bred dogs from champion lines. We hand raise each of our puppies and guarantee healthy, well-rounded pups. I put a lot of my focus towards health testing prior to breeding to ensure that I am making positive contributions to my lines. Each puppy is cherished from the moment of birth and given the best start we can possibly provide. It would be my pleasure to introduce your family to your next Australian Shepherd from Integrity Australian Shepherd raise with love from the whelping box ❤️.
Q. & A. with Lisa
Why did you start breeding?
Responsible, ethical breeders play an important role in the future of the dog ecosystem. We are guardians for the future of the breed. Our goal is to breed quality Australian Shepherd dogs and preserve the line of these incredible companions as well as continue on with my champion lines.
What makes your program special?
We only breed from champion lines, and the dogs have to be champions first. All of my dogs are health tested and have wonderful temperaments. My involvement in the show world speaks to the standards that I breed my dogs by. I deeply cherish each dog and puppy under my care and will always prioritize their well-being above all else.
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.
