SILVERSAGE
Meet the breeder
I'm Lorena D., the breeder behind SILVERSAGE located in Panguitch, UT. We're a small breeder of working Aussies that make excellent herding dogs. We breed our dogs for family, farm. Versatile for farm, herding, and companionship. We want smart and beautiful dogs, staying true to what the breed was meant to do. My Grandfather, my father many years ago used the "little blue dogs" brought by their Basque Shepherds to help with their large sheep flocks in the Colorado mountains. Through my children's growing up, with 4H and FFA, raising sheep, keeping our family heritage alive.
