I'm Heidi S., the breeder behind Stark Creek Aussies located in Chestertown, MD. We are a standard Australian Shepherd breeder who strives to better the breed and find loving homes for our beautiful puppies. We hand-raise all of our dogs with love in our home. We have high expectations for our puppies and make sure to place each one with an enriching and loving family complementary to their personality.
Q. & A. with Heidi
Why did you start breeding?
We have been around dog breeding our entire life and found a breed that would suit the needs of the people in our area. We wanted to put our passion for Australian Shepherds to good use. Breeding healthy, happy puppies is our way to give back to the breed and the families who love them. We want nothing more than to see each of our dogs and puppies shine! We have loved the process and enjoy placing puppies with loving, forever families.
What makes your program special?
We raise not only working animals but also loving laid-back family pets as well. We are dedicated to always providing you with a positive experience, which includes remaining committed to responsible practices when it comes to breeding, training, and rehoming our puppies. Our dogs are our family, and we can't wait to welcome you into our community!
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
