Q. & A. with Emily
Why did you start breeding?
For as long as I can remember, I always dreamed of owning a blue merle aussie. On my sixteenth birthday, my parents gifted me with my first blue merle aussie (Ellie). I continue to learn all that I can about this breed to not only share with others, but to preserve it for years to come.What makes your program special?
I run a small, in-home breeding program where I prioritize giving each dog and puppy the best care that I can. I have high expectations for my puppies and make sure to place each one in an enriching and loving home that will match their temperament and personality.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
