I'm Sarah M., the breeder behind McMullen’s Aussies located in Quincy, IL. All of the puppies are raised in our home where we provide an environment for them to become wonderful future four legged companions. The puppies get indoor and outdoor exercise, mental stimulation, desensitized to grooming practices, some socialization, and start to potty train.
Q. & A. with Sarah
What makes your program special?
Puppies will also come with a “go-home” bag that has toys, a few potty training pads, a collapsable water bowl, a slip lead and a puppy collar, a blanket with mom’s scent, a gallon bag of food so they can adjust to their new diet, puppy record from the vet, a folder with mom and dads health/OFA records, and a copy of the puppy contract. The puppies will also be freshly groomed before going home!
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.
