Q. & A. with Apolonia
Why did you start breeding?
My journey into breeding began with my own Australian Shepherds and Cattle Dogs, who quickly became family and naturally stepped into service roles through their loyalty and intuition. Experiencing their impact firsthand inspired us to help build and preserve these breeds, strengthening their temperament, purpose, and heart.What makes your program special?
Our kennel stands apart by blending real-life service experience with purpose-driven breeding. Shaped by the partnership of our own Aussies and Cattle Dogs, we focus on producing dogs with instinctive work ethic, intuitive temperament, and confident, personable character—family-ready, reliable, and truly exceptional.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black & white, red merle, blue merle, red, and black tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Apolonia was great to work with. She answered all my questions and concerns. We FaceTimed so i could meet the pup which saved me a 4 hour drive. When i arrived to pick “Baby” up she was groomed and had all her paperwork in order. Id highly recommend REKN Kennel.
