Q. & A. with Ashley
Why did you start breeding?
We wanted to put our passion for Miniature Australian Shepherds to good use. Breeding healthy, happy puppies is our way to give back to the breed and the families who love them. We want nothing more than to see each of our dogs and puppies shine.
What makes your program special?
By creating an environment of health and harmony for young puppies, we believe we are able to give each little pup the very best chance to reach its potential, express its best character, and bring forth its greatest gifts in the relationship with itself and to its family.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black tri, blue merle, red merle, and red tri. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
