I'm Dawn R., the breeder behind M & D Majestic Aussies located in Wellington, OH.
Q. & A. with Dawn
Why did you start breeding?
I experienced many health problems with Dezi, so after 20 years of owning Aussies, when I decided to start breeding it was important to me that I made sure our future pups would have the best health. Testing for hips/elbows, eyes, and genetic testing is done to ensure the chances are as low as possible being passed down to a litter of pups.
What makes your program special?
Aussies can be the best choice in your companion and family pet. We've learned a lot about the breeding process and how to place the right puppy with the appropriate family. We love placing puppies into their forever homes and make sure it's the right fit, to the best of our ability. My ever-growing knowledge, dedication, and love of the breed sets me apart from other breeding programs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red merle, blue merle, black tri-color, and red tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
