Meet the breeder
I'm Alicia M., the breeder behind Soggy Bottom Farms located in Seffner, FL. Our dogs are family members first and foremost. We're passionate, responsible breeders who truly love our dogs. We devote our time, energy, and efforts to each litter to ensure our puppies are properly socialized from the moment they are born and prepared to excel in their forever homes.
Q. & A. with Alicia
Why did you start breeding?
As a child, I showed Aussies in 4-H and fell in love with the breed. I started breeding to improve the breed and to maintain positive, healthy bloodlines.What makes your program special?
Our puppies are hand-raised in our home and exposed to various methods of socialization being raised on our farm. Our little boy ensures they are well-loved and incredibly comfortable with children. We truly love our furry friends and are dedicated to providing each of our puppies with loving and caring forever homes.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
