Q. & A. with Jennifer
Why did you start breeding?
I fell in love with the breed after seeing them at a dog show...I was hooked! I was so impressed with the versatility of the breed and the temperament of the aussies I had met at the show. I spent a couple years researching health testing and the breed standard and purchased my first Aussie in 2013.What makes your program special?
We put so much love into our adult dogs and puppies from day one, the 8 weeks the puppies spend with us before going to their new homes are filled with lots of fun and good experiences! We build great relationships with our puppy families and welcome them as part of our extended family.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red merle, blue merle, black tri-color, and red tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
