Scottstead Aussies
Meet the breeder
I'm Jessica S., the breeder behind Scottstead Aussies located in Monroeville, PA. Hi! I’m a small hobby breeder purebred .I focus on raising healthy, well-socialized puppies that make wonderful family companions. All of my pups are raised in a loving home environment, receive age-appropriate vaccinations and deworming, and start basic training /socialization.
Q. & A. with Jessica
Why did you start breeding?
Ever since I was a little girl I wanted to breed as a hobby . When we got our family dog Freya her personality was so sweet , loving and intelligent that I knew my opportunity to start breeding was here. We also wanted to keep on of her pups so the journey began !What makes your program special?
Our breeding program is special because our dogs are bred only 1-2 times and they are family dogs . The pups are in a nursery in our living room and they are spoiled with love from the whole family 24/7. We take time to start training and developing them early and give them the most enriching start to life a pup can have .What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include 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.
