Q. & A. with Sarah
Why did you start breeding?
Owning, training and breeding Australian Shepherds has been my dream since I was 17. In 2007, 20 years later, I made that dream a reality when I bought my first Aussie puppy. There's no doubt about it, Journee and I immediately became inseparable and it was love at first sight! I can't imagine raising any other breed now that I've been blessed with Aussies!What makes your program special?
Pups will be raised in our home and well socialized. I'm a professional dog trainer and will give them the best foot..errr paw forward. They are introduced to lots of toys and real life experiences before heading to their new homes. At 2 weeks when their ears open we play a Puppy Sounds CD and at 3-4 weeks we start potty training with pads and lots of outings outside. We use ENS & Puppy Culture!!!What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black, red merle, blue merle, and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
