Meet the breeder
I'm Abbie F., the breeder behind Take Five Aussies located in Markleville, IN. We raise our puppies with total care and attention so they can become well-socialized and loving additions to their forever homes. It’s important to us that we continue to improve our program and share our knowledge with our buyer families. We want to better the breed through thorough health testing and selective breeding decisions.
Q. & A. with Abbie
What makes your program special?
We take time every day to socialize each puppy as they develop. They are raised in our home with environmental transitions in place to successfully progress their growth and development. Our dogs are health tested and assured of solid genetics before we consider breeding. This is what sets us apart from the rest. Health testing and genetics are a must when deciding to breed so that the puppies are given a fundamental basis for long life success without complications.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.
