Q. & A. with Whitnie
Why did you start breeding?
I have had Aussies for a really long time. I am passionate about this breed and I started my program because I wanted to put my passion to good use! I bought a gorgeous puppy from another breeder who's my mentor as well. It's been a joyful commitment, and it is a pleasure to live with, work with, and share with others these wonderful dogs!
What makes your program special?
I hold myself to a high standard when it comes to my dogs and policies. I carefully plan each litter with a focus on making sure that the male and female benefit each other and have excellent personalities and conformation. I want my puppies to be good family companions with great drive and herding ability, too! My dogs are my family, and I give that same love to each puppy as I prepare them to join their forever homes.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
