Meraki Australian Shepherds
Meet the breeder
I'm Natalie P., the breeder behind Meraki Australian Shepherds located in Texas. Hello and thank you for visiting our page! We are Meraki Australian Shepherds located just North of Austin, Texas. Our puppies are raised in our home along-side our children and furry/feathered/finned family members. Each puppy will be well socialized and up to date on shots and deworming’s along with docked tails and dewclaws removed (unless otherwise discussed). Each puppy will also be microchipped and sent off to their new homes with a new puppy packet to help ease the transition. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions!
