Meet the breeder

I'm Melissa M., the breeder behind Sadie Blue's Willamette Valley Aussies located in Eugene, OR. Welcome to Sadie Blue’s Willamette Valley Aussies! Located in Eugene, OR. We are a small, home-based breeding program dedicated to raising puppy in our home as part of our family, receiving daily handling, early socialization, and plenty of individual attention from the very beginning.

Q. & A. with Melissa

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I began breeding Pug puppies while raising my family and enjoyed helping puppies find loving homes. After bringing home my first Australian Shepherd in 2015, I completely fell in love with the breed. Their intelligence, loyalty, loving personalities, and eagerness to be part of the family inspired me to raise Australian Shepherds so I could share these amazing dogs with other families.
  • What makes your program special?

    We intentionally keep our breeding program small so every puppy receives the love and attention they deserve. Raised in our home, as part of our family, our puppies receive daily handling and early socialization for a loving start. We thoughtfully match each puppy with the right family and provide lifelong breeder support.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include red & white, red merle, and red tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    It went amazing. Melissa was easy to work with. Working with Melissa was an absolute joy from start to finish. She made the entire process so smooth and enjoyable. It was fantastic that we got to meet the mom beforehand. We felt really supported and informed every step of the way. It was just a truly wonderful experience.
