I'm Loni M., the breeder behind Northern Lights Aussies (NL Aussies) located in Albion, MI. My dogs are my family, their pups are born and raised inside my home. I strive for excellent temperaments and loving companions. I strive to make sure every owner has the ability to get the very best out of their puppy. Australian Shepherds are wonderful dogs! They might just be the perfect dog for you.
Q. & A. with Loni
Why did you start breeding?
I started raising and breeding my Aussies after a work injury that left me unable to work. My daughter bought me my first Aussie, he brought such love and happiness when I needed it most. I want to be able to give that special bond, love, and happiness to others. My dogs are my babies and will be with me forever and I make sure each of their pups finds a home that will love them as much as I do.
What makes your program special?
I make sure all my dogs and their pups are healthy, happy, and loved. Start training them at 4 weeks old, teaching them the basics. I pour my heart into each of these loving babies. I do constant pics and updates for their new families, have puppy/parent day so they can bond with their pup long before they are ready to go home. I find it helps them transition better from leaving their mom and littermates.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our 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.

Loni made the experience of bringing home our puppy great. She was very responsive and kept me updated along the way with pictures and details about what was going on. She took the time to speak with me personally on the phone to explain Norther Lights Aussies history and what to expect with our new pup. When we went to pick up the puppy, she was so nice and welcoming to my husband and I. She sent us home with a care package and checked up on us a few days later. The new puppy is doing so well and adjusting great. She was basically potty trained the day we brought her home! I can tell Loni cares deeply about her dogs and the homes and people her puppies go to. The experience overall was fantastic and I am so pleased to have found the perfect dog we’ve been searching for for a long time right in my own backyard.

Loni was quick to respond to our request to learn more about her Australian puppies. After talking to Loni and hearing the passion and love she talked about her family of puppies we knew we would be making the right choice of adding one of her puppies to our family. Loni has been great with follow up after we brought Thunder home. Thunder is exactly as Loni described. Great temperament , and soooo loving.

What struck me about Loni was how dedicated she was to her family - and it goes beyond the basics - you can tell her pups are a part of her soul. She prioritizes her pups' health, happiness, and makes sure to communicate everything along the way. Hoji is a sweet, calm, and happy puppy and we're so grateful for Loni. We've gained two friends in this process - Hoji and Loni. Thank you, Loni!

Loni did a wonderful job in getting Copper Phantom ready to go home with us. Copper is a wonderful pup and is smart as a whip. She is a great dog and when we need another dog, I will check out Northern Lights Aussies first.
