Q. & A. with Amber
Why did you start breeding?
Our journey began on our family farm when we brought home our very first Australian Shepherd to help manage our livestock. We immediately fell in love with their remarkable intelligence, work ethic, and unwavering loyalty. Experiencing firsthand what an incredible addition they are to both a home and a farm, we felt compelled to share this versatile breed with others. Our goal is to introduce families to the profound companionship and brilliance that define the Australian Shepherd.What makes your program special?
We believe that a puppy's first eight weeks lay the foundation for the rest of their life. To ensure a seamless transition into your home, our comprehensive puppy-raising program includes: Early Socialization: Puppies are raised around dynamic sights, sounds, and interactions to build confidence. Foundational Training: We initiate a structured potty training routine before puppies leave our care to give you a head start. Go-Home Puppy Essentials: Every puppy departs with a curated starter kit packed with the necessities required to begin their new journey smoothly.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red merle, blue merle, black tri-color, and red tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Amber and her family have been great. They met us halfway when we met Flower an Aussie puppy and took her home. They packed a gift bag of thoughtful and helpful items for Flower's care and playtime. We get many compliments on Flower's appearance and behavior.
