After we lost our third Shepherd, we bought a male Australian Shepherd and we fell in love with the breed so we decided we wanted to get another one so we found a female for my husband who absolutely loves her. She is such a sweetheart very very smart easy to potty train. It was wonderful working with salt Creek Aussies no problems at all. Good communication. I would definitely purchase a puppy from her again and I have recommended her to several people great experience.
