I'm Rebecca G., the breeder behind Pine River Australian Shepherds located in Luther, MI. I raise confident Australian Shepherds that will excel as active companions. Temperament and structure are very important to me and this is a priority of mine when breeding my dogs. My ultimate goal is to produce athletic and well-structured puppies that will thrive in their forever homes. I look forward to connecting with you!
Q. & A. with Rebecca
Why did you start breeding?
Australian Shepherds have proven to be wonderful companions in my life, and it is a privilege to share that love and friendship with others. I was fortunate enough to have an amazing mentor that helped me become the breeder that I am today. I want to do my part as a responsible breeder and produce healthy, well-rounded pups and I am so happy to be able to share these dogs with other loving people.
What makes your program special?
I aim to breed to the Australian Shepherd breed standard and produce puppies with loving personalities. I strive to breed healthy, quality pups that can fit any lifestyle. I take pride in raising well-tempered puppies who can excel in work, show, or as beloved companions. I can provide extensive knowledge and guidance for any family looking to bring home one of these wonderful dogs!
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
