I'm Doc W., the breeder behind Spangle Creek Aussies located in Spangle, WA. Our puppies have the temperament to be amazing family members and the drive and trainability to do the job they were bred to do. We decided to start a responsible, in-home breeding program in order to produce quality working dogs that also fit into a home setting. These dogs can do it all, and we make sure to foster that versatility in our puppies beginning from the moment they're born.
