Q. & A. with Ashley
Why did you start breeding?
I got into breeding essentially as a child. One of my first litters was a German Wirehaired Pointer litter. A very successful litter in homes, the show ring, and the field. Now I strive to make the Australian Shepherd breed better.
What makes your program special?
Our dogs are fully health tested. I am a hands on breeder with knowledge of my lines. Honesty is something I value with my homes and myself. Our dogs grow up and enjoy the beautiful central Oregon views on our almost 2 acre home with goats, a cat, and a horse. I am also a certified veterinary technician to help aid in the proper growth of these puppies to ensure a long and prosperous life!
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
