Q. & A. with Hilary
Why did you start breeding?
After falling in love with my very own Aussiedoodle, I started doing research to learn about this amazing breed and started dreaming of breeding them for other families. After a few years of research, I began looking for the perfect momma dog I purchased my first mini Australian Shepherd and started the process of breeding. All mothers are our personal pets and treated as family. 🐾What makes your program special?
We put as much love and care as possible into the health and wellbeing of all our puppies. From taking loving care of our mothers to doing whatever we can to provide care and beginner training for the puppies to set them up for success for when they join their new families.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Aussiedoodle puppies include toy and mini sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Miniature American Shepherd puppies include red tri-color, black tri, red merle, and blue merle. Aussiedoodle puppies include blue merle, red 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.

Beyond her striking, high-contrast look, Riley can be shy around new humans but once she knows you she is your instant shadow.

Her expressive eyes and famous smile say it all—she is a joyful, healthy, and devoted mother.
