I'm Monica B., the breeder behind Roanoak Australian Shepherds located in Lincoln, NE. We’re a home-based breeder of Australian Shepherds who love showing our dogs in the daytime just as much as cuddling with them at night. We strive to produce outstanding puppies that are structurally sound, healthy, intuitive, and have a wonderful temperament. Australian Shepherds have proven to be wonderful companions in my life and it is a privilege to share that love and friendship with others.
Q. & A. with Monica
Why did you start breeding?
My love for Australian Shepherds inspired me to share this amazing breed with the world in a responsible way. Responsible, ethical breeders play an important role for the future of the dog ecosystem because we are guardians for the future of the breed. My goal is to breed quality Australian Shepherd dogs and preserve the line of these incredible companions.
What makes your program special?
At Roanoak Australian Shepherds, we produce excellent companions. We understand the importance of dog health, temperament, and structure, and every breeding decision is made accordingly. Adhering to the national club standard for all recommended health screening tests is paramount to our dogs’ wellbeing and my personal integrity. I'm dedicated to what I do and what I am to achieve as a breeder.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
