Springville Aussies

Emily M.

Breeder of Australian Shepherds

Meet the breeder

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.
