Meet the breeder

I'm Heather C., the breeder behind Out of the Blue Aussies located in Anthony, FL. Living on our 10 acre farm in Anthony, Florida, I found something truly special in Australian Shepherds — their intelligence, loyalty, and those striking blue eyes captured me from the start. Together, we’re committed to raising happy, healthy, and beautiful Aussies with heart.

Q. & A. with Heather

  • Why did you start breeding?

    It all started with a deep love for animals and a whole lot of admiration for the Australian Shepherd. Their intelligence, loyalty, and those stunning blue eyes quickly captured our hearts. What began as a dream—just one Aussie to love—quickly grew into a passion for the breed and a desire to share that joy with others.

  • What makes your program special?

    Our puppies are raised on our 10-acre farm, where they’re socialized, nurtured, and given the best start to life. We focus on health, temperament, and proper enrichment to ensure they grow into well-rounded, happy companions. Our Parents have had thorough genetic health testing. We also provide a 2 yr health guarantee, microchip, and health certificate.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include red & white, red merle, blue merle, black tri-color, and red tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Getting a puppy from Heather

Heather has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.

Heather partners with buyers to find the best match as the puppies develop and their personalities take shape. Typically, matches are finalized when the puppies reach about 7 weeks old.

“At Pecan Hollow Farms, our puppies are raised following Puppy Culture protocols, including Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS), Early Scent Introduction (ESI), extensive socialization with children and other animals, and confidence-building activities such as step and tunnel work. At seven weeks, we conduct Volhard Puppy Aptitude Testing to assess each puppy's temperament, confidence, sociability, and natural tendencies. We combine these scores with our daily observations to thoughtfully match each puppy with a family whose lifestyle, experience, and expectations best suit their individual personality. ”

    It was such an amazing experience to purchase our puppy from Heather. She is super informative and was very patient with me asking for so many updates and photos throughout the whole process 😊 Our Skye is the sweetest pup and so great with the kids. Heather works with all of the pups daily to make them great companions and practices noise training, smell training and crate training in order to make it a smooth transition home 🩷 I appreciate the continued communication and friendship with Heather and I’m so grateful we found Out of the Blue Aussies! Thank you, Heather!

    Heather was so incredibly helpful through the whole puppy process! She was quick to respond, very knowledgeable and educated, and professionally organized. Our puppy was so prepared for a wonderful life with us, and we couldn’t be happier with the entire experience! Special shoutout to Adley as well. The exposure to a young child helped our sweet puppy be prepared to meet anyone we introduce her to! I couldn’t recommend Out of the Blue Aussies enough!

    We had a wonderful experience with Out of the Blue Aussies. From the very beginning, it was clear how much they love and care for their dogs and puppies. The environment was clean, welcoming, and full of joy—exactly the kind of place you hope your future puppy is coming from. Our Australian Shepherd puppy is healthy, well-socialized, and has the sweetest temperament. You can tell she was raised with a lot of attention and love. The breeders were responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making sure their pups went to good homes. We couldn’t be happier with our new addition to the family and are so grateful we found Out of the Blue Aussies. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a well-raised, happy Aussie!

    Heather’s Work is amazing! Since day one me and my husband felt confident about Out of the Blue Aussies, we not only got an amazing and smart puppy, but throughout the process we received pictures, updates, tips, and links to adapt our home for our puppy, and the work she did and does is amazing, our Hazel is adapting so well to our family, and the process it’s been so easy but that is only because of the love and care that Heather gives to each puppy, our Hazel is well behaved, socialized, and even though she’s only been with us for a week she’s already letting us know when she need to go potty 🤭 and picking things up quickly, Thank you Heather for all the love you give each puppy!

    Heather has been fantastic to work with. She has gone above and beyond what was expected - providing a lot of supplies when we picked up our puppy - and answering training questions on an ongoing basis. We will definitely work with her again.

    I'm so glad and thankful to find Out of Blue Aussies. Heather made the best possible experience for us in every step, communication, photos, videos. Dogs were growing in an incredible place, with love, care, healthy, training, keeping all the dogs records and behaviors. The result is that my puppy (Johnny) is the cutest sweet boy I've seeing, from the parents excellent DNA to the training and education he had at Out of Blue Aussies. Heather also gone above and beyond making a puppy book with all docs, certificates, information, etc... and supplying a beautiful wood box with dog toys, games, dog food, frisbee, small blanket with the Johnny's mother smell and a beautiful plush dog with a heart bit inside, and more. I strongly recommend Out of Blues Aussies. 10 out of 10.
