Due May 2026
I'm Danielle C., the breeder behind Obsidian Australian Shepherd located in Pilot, VA. Our goal is to ensure every dog that comes from our program is set up to live a happy and healthy life and is prepared for its future role when it leaves our care. We provide each of our pups with lots of socialization and love, and we are dedicated to maintaining responsible breeding. All puppies are sold on a spay neuter contract.

Piper is now three months old, and she's the most amazing puppy. She has a calm temperament, sleeps like a baby in her crate, and makes friends with everyone she meets! The only flaw - she cannot stand not being the center of attention!

I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for giving me the opportunity to bring home such a wonderful puppy. I have been searching for the perfect addition to my family for quite some time.I must say that the puppy you gave me is beyond adorable. The first moment I saw him, I knew he was the one. His playful personality and cute little face have already brought so much joy into my life. I can tell that he was raised with love and care, as he is well-behaved and social with everyone he meets.He is already becoming a beloved member of my family, and I look forward to many happy years together.
