I'm Emily M., the breeder behind Springville Aussies located in Fortuna, CA. Australian Shepherds make great companions, enjoying a long day of work or a relaxing indoor day with their families -- the perfect combination. They are very smart and easy to train for work, service, and companionship. When they are under three years old, Aussies are high-energy dogs and need a good amount of mental and physical activity.
Q. & A. with Emily
Why did you start breeding?
We got into breeding when our kids wanted to know more about how they could learn about running a business from home that they would enjoy. Being a homeschooling family means we can optimize their education with extras and hands-on opportunities like this to bring vibrant, real-world applications of skills to their day.
What makes your program special?
Our breeding program is special because we are very selective about the personalities of the dogs we breed together. Australian Shepherds have a range of temperaments, from easy-going to high-strung, and we prefer to breed for a balanced, family-oriented companion. Our dogs live in our home and are treated like family.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red merle and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
