NiteShade Aussies
Meet the breeder
I'm Candi B., the breeder behind NiteShade Aussies located in Odessa, TX. I strive to produce quality puppies for families that are structurally sound, healthy, intuitive, and have wonderful temperaments. I study the pedigree, structure, and genetics of every Aussie pair prior to breeding. It would be my pleasure to introduce your family to your next forever companion!
Q. & A. with Candi
Why did you start breeding?
It is an honor to represent this breed and create opportunities for others to experience the same joy that I've found in raising these wonderful dogs. It is my passion to breed these incredible dogs and help ensure the future of the Aussies.What makes your program special?
I am very conscious about who I rehome my puppies to and always ensure that each one goes to the best home possible complementary to its personality and ability. My commitment is to provide you with a professional and friendly puppy-buying experience, and that includes always having responsible practices when it comes to breeding, training, and rehoming my puppies. I hope I can help your family find your newest puppy member!Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
