Meet the breeder
I'm Samantha H., the breeder behind Monarch Australian Shepherds located in Crosby, TX. We wanted to pass along the joys of this amazing breed to other dog lovers, so we decided to start breeding Australian Shepherds in 2016. Our goal is to breed quality Australian Shepherds that are fit for show and performance while making excellent family dogs and companions.
Q. & A. with Samantha
Why did you start breeding?
After losing my childhood dog, I reached out to a Hall of Fame breeder to get my second Australian Shepherd. Being from an active 4H family as a youth, I was very interested in showing and competing with my next dog. I also decided that I wanted to help other families find quality Australian Shepherds to enjoy this wonderful breed. My mom was passionate too and we enjoy our dog hobby together.What makes your program special?
Monarch Australian Shepherds is an ASCA Hall of Fame breeder! Our dogs are family first, and our puppies are raised by us with great care. We believe in the amazing versatility of this breed. Our dogs are competitive in the conformation ring, but also show a great drive for the stock, agility, and other performance events. All of our dogs are fully health tested to the breed recommendationsWhat are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Australian Shepherd puppies include black, red merle, blue merle, and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
