Meet the breeder

I'm Sarah B., the breeder behind RisingStar Australian Shepherds located in Springville, NY. I am a breeder with the goal to breed to standard. I practice Puppy Culture methods and raise my puppies in my home. I want to do everything I can to ensure I am only breeding healthy, happy, and well-rounded Australian Shepherds. I carefully select the future home for each and every puppy.

Q. & A. with Sarah

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I wanted to breed Aussies to the standard. This breed is so loyal and smart. I wanted to do my part to give each puppy the tools needed to reach their fullest potential.

  • What makes your program special?

    I do not cut corners in my breeding program. I am committed to fulfilling my responsibilities as a breeder. I want to see all of my dogs and puppies thrive.

  • 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.

    Sarah made the entire process super easy. She was very responsive from the beginning and nothing was too big of an ask with her. She was very accommodating, she arranged a visit with all the pups for me and answered any and all questions I had. It’s obvious she takes good care of her dogs and puppies, and that she wants them to go to the perfect homes.
