Meet the breeder
I'm Shaylea M., the breeder behind McMillan Aussies located in Gunnison, CO. We are dedicated to providing healthy, happy puppies. We are a family of 5 that give our puppies ample attention and work on potty training, recall and the beginnings of basic commands. For us dogs are family!
Q. & A. with Shaylea
Why did you start breeding?
We decided to venture into the breeding world and get to experience enjoying puppies and finding homes where they will be loved and give love! When we started getting serious about breeding we took time finding good breed lines with great dispositions.What makes your program special?
We are not interested in being a huge breeding program and so are able to give more individual attention to each puppy.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include blue merle and red tri. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
