I'm Stice C., the breeder behind Stice's Australian Shepherds located in Bowler, WI. I breed for the original Australian Shepherd temperament, type, intelligence and biddability.
A good Aussie has the ability to dial their energy level up or down depending on the situation. They are creative problem solvers.
They will be your best buddy, faithful hired hand, babysitter, emotional support, security guard and service dog, depending on your need.
I love to hear feedback from happy new Aussie families!
Q. & A. with Stice
Why did you start breeding?
Couldn't find family Aussies near where we lived in the Midwest. Decided to select and breed for the old type dog we all loved and admired.
What makes your program special?
I focus on smart, willing companions that are up for any adventure.
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.
