Meet the breeder
I'm Stephanie M., the breeder behind SoMa's Legacy Aussies located in Apo, NY.

Intelligent and versatile, they are the perfect companion for those with active lifestyles. We are overseas military in Belgium.
Q. & A. with Stephanie
Why did you start breeding?
After losing Sophie and Mac we knew we wanted to get another Aussie. We found Luna and Gracie and they brought us so much joy. Then we added Koda. With all our dogs we have had people ask about our breed and how amazing our dogs are from their agility to their intelligence. With all this great feedback we decided to increase our involvement with the breed and start our own breeding program.What makes your program special?
We are a very small program with all our dogs living in our home and sleeping in our beds. The pups are reared in our living room and receive full undivided attention from both my husband and our 10-year-old. Our two oldest have moved on, with the oldest in the Air Force and the middle a senior about to join the Air Force. We use Puppy Culture techniques for socialization and work on training before puppies leave for their new homes.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black, blue merle, and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
