Meet the breeder

I'm Meghan C., the breeder behind Saddle Peak Aussies located in Springfield, MO. We strive to provide well-rounded, healthy, and high-quality dogs. They are not just dogs; they are part of our family! We hand raise all of our puppies, in our home, to ensure they will grow up with a great temperament and start to life.

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.
