Meet the breeder
I'm Megan, the breeder behind Petrichor Australian Shepherds located in Snohomish, WA. Our dogs are my heart. They are raised in the home with exposure to farm animals, children, cats, the full deal. I strive to breed healthy and sound dogs. First and foremost my dogs are my pets and my family.
Q. & A. with Megan
Why did you start breeding?
We got into breeding with my first Aussie when I was 13 years old, with the guidance and mentorship of my first breeder. Since then I have been blessed to have dogs from several other breeders and have their guidance and knowledge passed on to me.What makes your program special?
Everyone says their program is special because their dogs are "part of the family". We don't think that makes us special- that is par. What makes us special is bringing new families into ours and having the opportunity to share these wonderful dogs with others.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Megan
Litter update on 15 Aug. •…Corsen is officially 4 weeks away from her due date! We have a follow up ultrasound in a week and a half to make sure everyone is developing well. She's starting to look a little more rotund, and also seems to think she's starving 🤣 she's enjoying being a couch dog (we haven't been letting her rough house with the boys, they tend to get a little rowdy) and taking independent trips down to the river to swim.
