Q. & A. with Chelsea
Why did you start breeding?
After getting our beloved “Millie” and “Joey”, we quickly fell in love with this breed. Aussies are such a unique breed. It’s hard not to love such a loyal, loving, intelligent & “velcro” dog!
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include 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.
