Q. & A. with Meghan
Why did you start breeding?
I purchased my first purebred, registered Aussie 6 years ago. He is an exceptional dog, so I reached out to his breeder and asked for guidance. After that, I did tons of research and found a mentor.What makes your program special?
My dogs are part of my family. They sleep on my couch, in my bed, etc. We have 56 acres that they have access to.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.
