Sandollar Aussies
Meet the breeder
I'm Lindsey J., the breeder behind Sandollar Aussies located in Apopka, FL. I am a distinguished preservation breeder of Aussies with over 25 years of experience. I prioritize the well-being of our dogs by conducting health screenings and temperament testing. Please visit my site to learn more about our dogs, YouTube tutorials, products I recommend and litter plans.
Q. & A. with Lindsey
Why did you start breeding?
I first got into showing my Aussies and learned more about breeding through that venue. I gained a few mentors, who I still learn from regularly, and familiarized myself with the Aussie written standard.What makes your program special?
Our dogs are highly competitive in conformation and performance which meets the standard and provides families with an Australian Shepherd that looks and acts exactly like the breed is intended to. I am also a good resource for owners to learn how to groom and take care of their Aussies. I have a YouTube channel with grooming videos and I post useful tips on my Instagram, Sandollar Aussies.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.
Getting a puppy from Lindsey

Price
Puppy prices include a $500 refundable deposit and $2,000 final payment, before taxes & fees.
“Price includes AKC registration, litter certificate, health guarantee and custom Aussie manual. Puppies will be dewormed, receive ENS and puppy culture, receive shots and begin potty & crate training. We only take deposits when puppies are around 5 weeks old and we conduct our first house visit for everyone to meet. We only breed every 2-3 years so cannot always guarantee availability otherwise.”
Contract & health guarantee
Lindsey may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Lindsey offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don’t hesitate to reach out to Lindsey directly.
