I'm Wendy H., the breeder behind Stonehill Aussies located in Mountainburg, AR. Our focus is on breeding healthy and happy puppies that are even tempered and well socialized, and that all starts with happy and healthy sires and dams! With an emphasis on breed standards, our adult dogs are cared for as our pets, not breeding stock. Sires and dams are ASDR registered, have been genetic health tested and receive veterinary care. Because of that, our puppies are top notch!
We look forward to connecting with you!
Q. & A. with Wendy
Why did you start breeding?
We brought our first Aussie home in 2016 and were instantly in love with the breed. Their intelligence and loyalty are unmatched in the dog world and we wanted to share this breed with others. After researching, studying and being mentored by other Aussie breeders we felt confident to begin our breeding program.
What makes your program special?
We are about quality not quantity. We only have 1-2 litters per year. This gives us the ability to give our adults and puppies quality time and care.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
