Q. & A. with Tamara

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I got my first Australian Shepherd in 2007, then my first Mini Australian Shepherd in 2012. Shortly after I got my mini I knew that I wanted to show her. I contacted a couple of breeders for mentor help and it took off from there!
  • What makes your program special?

    My dogs are healthy, happy, and a joy to be around. I dedicate all my time to loving and caring for my babies. When I'm not caring for critters on our 133 acre farm, I'm doing all that I can to provide help and support for my puppy families. I'm only a quick call or text away from answering any questions.
  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    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 Bullmastiff puppies include red fawn brindle, fawn brindle, red brindle, red fawn, and fawn. Toy Australian Shepherd puppies include black, red, blue merle, and red merle. Australian Shepherd puppies include black, red merle, blue merle, red, black tri-color, and red tri-color. Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies include blue merle and red merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
