Q. & A. with Rachelle
Why did you start breeding?
I have always love the aussie breed. Ever since I was little I wanted to breed and have my own puppies. After years and years and tons of research I finally had my first litter! It's is amazing raising these perfect beautiful pups.What makes your program special?
I love each and every one of the pups I raise. They get tons of attention and cuddles and lots of love. They are always raised in my home and constantly monitored. I want the absolute best for these pups and it shows in my love for them. ❤️Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
