Q. & A. with Michele
Why did you start breeding?
After years of helping my husband raise hunting dogs, I decided I wanted my own. I researched Australian Shepherds. I got my first one from a good breeder and instantly became hooked! Quickly had 2 more girls and from another great breeder an amazing male for my stud dog. He and my first female are my absolute heart dogs! I love this breed. Their heart, brain, and temperament are amazing.
What makes your program special?
I love my dogs. They are family, my babies. They all are well socialized, spoiled and well taken care of. I strive to make sure to match the right puppy with the right owner. I make sure the new family will continue to spoil. I tell them they not only gain a puppy but also me as a family member.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Toy Australian Shepherd puppies are blue merle. Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies include blue merle, red merle, red, and black. 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.
