I'm Mikayla C., the breeder behind Mikayla Chouinard's Aussies located in Nashville, TN. I breed healthy, beautiful puppies. I take my job seriously, knowing that my puppies will become someone's beloved pet. Each puppy is considered a member of my family, and I ensure they are socialized, healthy, and prepared to excel in their forever homes. My dogs are bred for those specifics, and I take pride in my breeding program.
Q. & A. with Mikayla
Why did you start breeding?
I had my own Toy Aussie and fell in love with the breed. I wanted to do my part as a responsible breeder and produce healthy, well-rounded pups. It's a personal passion and hobby of mine to help spread love and joy through breeding Australian Shepherds.
What makes your program special?
My main focus when breeding is to produce excellent companions. I do everything I can to ensure my puppies have what they need to develop into healthy and happy dogs. In my breeding program, good health and temperament are essential, and cuteness and love are guaranteed.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
