I'm Michelle K N., the breeder behind Oregon Spice Aussies located in Reedsport, OR. We breed our Spice Aussies to be loyal and hardy. We love to teach and train our families and our sweet spices to live as best as possible. When we sell a spice baby we use its 8 week weaning time to teach and socialize each puppy to its approved home and family. Families are asked to come to visit and learn. We want them to have a long term relationship with each spice.
Q. & A. with Michelle K
Why did you start breeding?
My husband needed a service dog and we decide after getting him and training his Aussie that we would breed these smart sweet and beautiful dogs to help others in their walk of life. We give away one spice pup out of each litter to someone in need.
What makes your program special?
We're special because we school our approved families for 8 weeks and socialize each spice pup. Each family is aware of their traits good and bad and how to raise Aussies. We also stay in contact with every home and encourage each family to visit.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
