Q. & A. with Jennifer
Why did you start breeding?
We began our journey in the world of animals through showing horses. As a teenager, Cherrie owned an Aussie cross, sparking a lifelong love for the breed’s intelligence and spirit. Years later, we decided to dive into the world of dog showing. From there, everything naturally fell into place, leading us to embrace breeding with the same commitment and enthusiasm we brought to the show ring.What makes your program special?
Our breeding program is driven by a passion for producing exceptional Australian Shepherds that embody health, temperament, and companionship. Every dog in our program undergoes comprehensive health testing to ensure genetic soundness and vitality. We prioritize amazing temperaments, breeding dogs that are not only intelligent and versatile but also loyal, loving companions.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 and a kennel on my property.
