Carolyn S.

Breeder of Australian Shepherds

Meet the breeder

I'm Carolyn S., the breeder behind Strollins Farm located in Sedalia, MO. Implementing a program that encompasses all aspects of ethical breeding is important to us. Not only do we health test our adults BEFORE we breed, we also feel it's important to socialize them properly to ensure a smooth and positive transition into your family.

Q. & A. with Carolyn

  • Why did you start breeding?

    While we do not own livestock, our town is a big community of farmers and livestock owners where stock/herding dogs are sought after. We knew we could provide a quality stock dog or wonderful companion. Our female and intact male are both extremely agile, high energy and have incredible temperaments and herding instincts.
  • What makes your program special?

    Blessed to be retired early, focused time is given to all our pets. Pups are born & raised indoors for first 4 weeks, crated overnight indoors & trained individually in basic commands. They are socialized with our dogs, indoor & outdoor cats, chickens & the neighborhood. (Kids and Adults) Your trust and investment in us doesn't end at the sale, we are here for you and your puppy for life.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include black, red merle, blue merle, and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
