I'm Jessica H., the breeder behind Roulette Australian Shepherds located in Anamosa, IA. I breed Australian Shepherds and have all genetic testing done prior to breeding including breed panel, OFA and CAER. We also raise our puppies with Puppy Culture. We are a small home run breeding program which allows us to give every dog and puppy all of the love, attention, and care they deserve.
Q. & A. with Jessica
Why did you start breeding?
I fell in love with the breed! They are so smart and versatile. After the purchase of our first boy Tucker, we wanted to create a better experience for family's as they find their new family member!
What makes your program special?
We strive to create healthy dogs that are completely health tested! This includes OFA hips and Elbows and CAER for eye testing. We also raise our puppies with Puppy Culture. We have contracts in place to protect our dogs and new family's.
We dont just sell dogs, we create forever friendships and family! We also provide a puppy pack to insure our dogs leave spoiled including microchipping.
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.
