RemEmber Australian Shepherds
Meet the breeder
I'm Sonya R., the breeder behind RemEmber Australian Shepherds located in Central City, NE. All of my dogs are bred keeping the Australian Shepherd standard in mind. My goal is to better the breed and I am doing that by keeping my program small, competing with my dogs in multiple venues and properly socializing the puppies that I produce before they go to their new families.
Q. & A. with Sonya
Why did you start breeding?
As I learned more about responsible breeding practices, I wanted to do my part to produce healthy, well-bred puppies. It has been an absolute joy of a journey, and I am so happy to be able to share these wonderful dogs with other loving families and individuals.What makes your program special?
My program is different than many out there. Although I take my buyers preferences into consideration in terms of gender and color; my priority is matching personalities with your family lifestyle. I provide genetic profiles and temperament tests to all of my families when they pick their puppies out. I do this with other breeders evaluations and opinions.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red merle and blue merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
