Q. & A. with Nakya
Why did you start breeding?
I bought my first Australian Shepherd in 2015 after my daughter had gotten one. I fell in love with the mannerism and loyalty they show as well as the versatility of their abilities. After having a few of my own and learning more about them, I decided to offer this wonderful breed to people like me!What makes your program special?
We raise AKC and AKC/ASCA Australian Shepherds, located in Middle TN. We strive for a level- headed, easy going companion that is capable of anything you ask of them, from the show ring to on the farm! Our dogs are bred for health, temperament, structure and to breed standard! Our puppies are bred to be versatile, they come from a good mixture of some show lines and also herding lines.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.
