Meet the breeder

I'm Julia M., the breeder behind Maze Farms located in Tulare, CA. We understand the responsibility of purposefully breeding in order to do better for the breed and the families that love them! Breeder support and a continued effort to enhance the breed are the main objectives of our program. We hope to stay connected to our buyers long after the puppy goes home!

Q. & A. with Julia

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I got into breeding 8 years ago. I started with breeding Yorkshire Terriers. Then I decided to get a Toy Australian Shepherd. I fell in love with the breed. ❤️ So, I decided to breed my baby because I knew she’d make beautiful babies. I love having puppies & raising them to be the best puppies for their future homes. The whole experience is absolutely amazing.

  • What makes your program special?

    My breeding program is special because I’m not a large breeder. I don’t have multiple litters at once. I have 1 litter that I focus on at a time. Every puppy gets lots of love & attention. They are treated like royalty. I take pride & joy in my puppies. I make sure they are healthy, high quality, & well socialized puppies. Everyone that has gotten puppies from me in the past are always so happy. The puppies I raise always turn out to be such wonderful dogs because I make sure they have a great foundation started before they go to their forever homes. The puppies I raise are around my kids so they’re used to kids & noise. I always do my best to work on potty training & foundational training. ❤️

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include black tri, blue merle, and red tri. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Getting a puppy from Julia

Julia has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.

Julia partners with buyers to find the best match as the puppies develop and their personalities take shape. Typically, matches are finalized when the puppies reach about 6 weeks old.

“We take our puppy placement very seriously. We like to ensure you are matched with the best puppy that meets all your needs and desires. Once their personalities start to shine we like to FaceTime or you’re welcome to come meet the babies and choose which one you connect with. We do allow litter picks in the order of the deposits being placed. So if you want to be the first ones to pick then you’ll want to consider placing a deposit soon. ❤️”

Price

Puppy prices include a $500 refundable deposit that secures a specific puppy. The remaining $1,700 - $2,200 is due before pickup, plus applicable taxes and fees.
Pay over time with Klarna.

“The price includes registration on ASDR. They have their tails docked, dewclaws removed, deworming, & 2 rounds of vaccines. Puppies will also be socialized & started on potty training. Your deposit is refundable up until the puppy is 4 weeks old. If you cancel after the puppy is 4 weeks old, your deposit will be non-refundable.”
