I'm Shanae F., the breeder behind OlivFos Australian Shepherds located in Roseburg, OR. I love Australian Shepherds! My dogs have brought me so much love and happiness that I decided to start my own responsible breeding program by producing the highest quality puppies and providing them a wonderful life with wonderful families. It is such an honor to preserve the line of these incredible dogs all the while creating companionship for others!
