Q. & A. with Bill
Why did you start breeding?
Being raised on a ranch I was exposed to breeding at the age of 5. Both sides of family had dairy farms. In college worked on the beef and dairy farms. Have degrees in Biology, Geology, Geochemistry with minors in agriculture. Do artificial insemination and semen collection. AI cattle and horses. Very selective on any dog, horse or cattle I breed with.What makes your program special?
All dam and sies come from champion bloodlines in competition, conformation and agility. All dogs are genetically tested and DNA tested for being 100% Australian Shepherd. All are VP DNA by ASCA. The dogs we retain are started on goats at 16 weeks and advance to cattle after a year. This is a working ranch. Dogs are exposed to goats, cattle and horses every day This is the real dealWhat are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red & white, black & white, red merle, blue merle, and black tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
