Verified owner · Nov. 2024
We were looking to breed Australian Shepherds. For months we searched until we found Good Dog, and came across Malin's Aussies, we instantly fell in love with Wilderness (Formerly Beast). Rachelle was very attentive and responded within an hour, she was helpful and cared for the safety of her pup, being flexible as well. Wilderness is a sturdy, healthy, and strong puppy, whose a quick learner and is eager to please. Rachelle's breeding practices are true to the breed, and she made things honest and direct for us to understand during the process.
