Q. & A. with Ellen
Why did you start breeding?
I got addicted to the mini Australian Shepherd through a friend. I wanted a smaller dog that would enjoy all the outside activities that I do outside, but also love to be with me on the couch relaxing. Once I got one I had to have two. Then I thought it would be so much fun to have puppies in the house. To breed a dog that would be a good addition to any family.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
