Meet the breeder

I'm Amanda S., the breeder behind Stockton Family Farm located in Bassfield, MS. As conscientious breeders, we are proud of the loving, smart, beautiful, and sound puppies we’re able to provide for others. We have a lifetime of experience raising puppies! We love the opportunity of walking new owners through the puppy process and we’re devoted to spending as much time as necessary to be sure you’re getting the perfect addition to welcome as a beloved companion!

Q. & A. with Amanda

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I inherited our babies from my mom who is ageing and choose to downsize and relax some. I have been around her kennel for over 20 years and am in my fourth year of setting up my own program.

  • What makes your program special?

    I am a small breader who is dedicated to advancing only the best of the breed by using all tools available to me like genetic testing, and working closely with my vet to maintain the health of all of my babies. Not only are they living their best lives as working dogs on our farm but they are beloved family pets as well.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include black & white, blue merle, dilute red, 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.

    We are so happy we found the Stockton Family farm! Amanda, was so quick to reply to all messages and questions! She sent us pictures every few days once we decided on our puppy! They even met us halfway for no extra charge! Such kind people and so easy to work with! Upon meeting her and her husband, I could tell they do a magnificent job breeding their pups. If we ever decide to get another Aussie, I will be calling her! We are in love with our newest family member! Thank you Amanda!
