Q. & A. with Brenda
Why did you start breeding?
We've bred several breeds over our lifetime but have settled on the perfect breed - the Australian Shepherd. All sizes. Intelligent and family oriented, we find this breed very unique in personality and color. We'll never breed anything else!
What makes your program special?
Our Aussies are genetically tested, OFA hip & eye certified. Our dogs are raised in-home as part of our family making excellent family companions. Full of love, cuddles and energy, our aussie pups have been proven in the ring as well as being best friends to the amazing families fortunate to have found the furbaby that changed lives for the better. Each puppy conforms to the needs of each family.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies are miniature 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, red merle, red, and black. Toy Australian Shepherd puppies include red, black, blue merle, and red merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
