I'm Liam L., the breeder behind The Joyful Australian Shepherd located in Washington.
Q. & A. with Liam
Why did you start breeding?
I’ve been assisting another breeder while they transition into retirement after 20 years of breeding. We have managed litters for them as well as placement of pups and retiring adults, and hope to find the perfect foundation for our own program in the process.
What makes your program special?
We have paid special attention to temperament in our lines. Our dogs are versatile, intuitive, affectionate, intelligent, and often make wonderful ESA animals, with moderate to high energy and drive levels.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black and blue merle. 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.
