Spruce It Up
Meet the breeder
I'm Morgan B., the breeder behind Spruce It Up located in Spokane Valley, WA. My family and I run a small Mini Australian Shepherd breeding program focused on health, temperament, & raising loving companions. As a family-run program, we raise happy, well-rounded pups for work, sport, & companionship. Our goal is to provide loving dogs to families who share our passion for the breed.
Q. & A. with Morgan
Why did you start breeding?
It started as a deep love for the Mini Aussie. Our first Mini Aussie quickly became part of the family, and I fell in love with their energy and versatility. Wanting to provide families with well-bred, healthy, and well-tempered dogs, I dedicated myself to responsible breeding. What began as a passion soon turned into a family-run program focused on producing Mini Aussies for agility, herding, and companionship.What makes your program special?
Our breeding program stands out because we focus on producing well-structured, driven Mini Aussies with a purpose. We carefully match our pairings to enhance intelligence, focus, and athleticism, making our dogs exceptional for adventures. Early training, enrichment activities, and exposure to various environments ensure our puppies grow into confident, adaptable companions.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black & white, blue merle, and black tri. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
