Meet the breeder
I'm Sarah P., the breeder behind Middle Fork Australian Shepherds located in Oakridge, OR. My goal when crossing any two Australian Shepherds is to produce quality puppies that will be ideal additions to any family. Health is foremost, then I focus on temperament and energy levels. I do this by avoiding the stronger working lines. But at the end of the day this is still a working breed and that is why they are so smart, quick learners. I strive to find the balance between show and working dogs. A lot of thought goes into who we cross to produce a litter.
Q. & A. with Sarah
Why did you start breeding?
We brought our first Aussie home 10 years ago and after becoming interested in the Genetics involved in Breeding I just fell into it all. Trying to breed the healthiest dogs with the very best temperaments is my goal and always striving for the ideal energy level so they will make great family pets.What makes your program special?
Although I know structure and color are at the front of everyones minds when choosing a puppy I can tell you that temperament, personality and energy level are much more important when choosing a new family member. All my adults are sweet loving dogs and they pass that on to their puppies.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

Five stars for Sarah. She was able to answer all my questions about our puppy prior to pulling the trigger. She was flexible and helpful during the pickup stage. My older dog didn’t accept our puppy right away, Sarah was able to offer suggestion and tips to help with the introduction. Overall, wonderful experience. Our Aussie, Maple Meatball, is so wonderful. Amazing temperament, so sweet with my two young children and SO intelligent. If we’re ever in the market again for an Aussie pup (which is probable) I’m calling Middle Fork Australian Shepherds. Thank you for the best addition to our family.

Met up with Sarah mid morning to pick up our new puppy. Sarah had everything ready to go, the paperwork was all in order and our new friend already to go. It was my first time working with good Dog, that also went very smooth.
