I'm Lilian B., the breeder behind Our Little Ark located in Flippin, AR. Our Australian Shepherds are the absolute sweetest and our goal is to raise healthy, happy, and confident puppies.

Q. & A. with Lilian
Why did you start breeding?
We adore this breed, and starting a breeding program felt like the right decision. We value responsible breeding practices and want to do our part to promote ethical breeding. Our dogs have proven to be incredible, loving companions, and we wanted to share that experience with others by producing healthy, happy puppies. It is so fulfilling! Once you go Australian Shepherd, you never go back!What makes your program special?
We focus on the healthy development of all our puppies because we know that each one is unique and deserving of undivided love and attention. We treasure each puppy in our program and give them all the attention and care that we possibly can. We work hard so our pups can leave our home with confidence, ready to take on the world with their new family. We're looking forward to connecting with you!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 a kennel on my property.
