Q. & A. with Robert

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My GF has always loved Aussies and is studying Animal Genetics and wants to work with Exotic Animal breeding and genetic studies. We do this as a team and it's become something we absolutely love.

  • What makes your program special?

    We want to provide you with the best possible experience in adopting your fur-loved-one. That said, we've gone to great lengths to include as much information as possible about our dogs, our facilities, the puppies in the litter and even provide live webcams so you can monitor their care or status at any times at RoyalAussiesVA.

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies include tiny and miniature sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include blue merle, black tri, red tri, and red merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.
