We care so much about each of our dogs and make sure to find our puppies the perfect families and individuals with lifestyles that will complement this amazing breed.
Q. & A. with Matt and Deanne
Why did you start breeding?
We started our program in 2009. Took a break until we had the right set up and then have been breeding since 2014. We still have our very first breeder at home even though she is 16-17 years old. We have a large following on FB and keep a puppy group there just for our owners. We track pups growing up and share tips and tricks for everyone.
What makes your program special?
As above, we keep all puppy owners in our private FB group which keeps the lines of communication open forever. Most people come back for another pup if not 2 or 3 more.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies include tiny and miniature sizes. Companion Cross puppies are medium size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies include blue merle, black tri, red tri, and red merle. Companion Cross puppies include brindle, black and white, and black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
