Pole Canyon Australian Shepherds

Serena A.

Breeder of Australian Shepherds

Meet the breeder

I'm Serena A., the breeder behind Pole Canyon Australian Shepherds located in Victor, ID. Our dogs are screened via genetic tests and OFA screenings. Health certificates and guarantees are provided with each pup. Our adults are low to medium energy dogs, not working lines. We aim to provide family dogs that keep their families exercising but snuggle and love like lap dogs.

Q. & A. with Serena

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I wanted to put my passion for Aussies to good use. Breeding healthy, happy puppies is our way to give back to the breed and the families who love them. I'm sure I am a little biased, but Aussies are not "just a pet," they are our best friends. They love whole-heartedly and without judgement. Due to their never-ending affection, it seemed only natural to bring that joy to others.
  • What makes your program special?

    I believe our home environment and the ability for my kids to assist in the raising of puppies gives our puppies a special aspect of socializing that they do not get from other homes. They are constantly handled, played with, and snuggled ensuring a positive relationship with people from the very beginning. The love they receive helps the bond that gives them the confidence to grow and succeed in their lives.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
