Q. & A. with Stephanie
Why did you start breeding?
I have had Aussies since I was a kid and just love the intelligence and loyalty of the breed.What makes your program special?
I strive to breed healthy pups that are easily trained and very social. We looked a long time to find our female, Star, so we could offer a variety of colors to customers. Star and Moon have all the colors covered! I prefer the dark red over light red and the contrast between the dark and light on my merles.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red & white, black & white, 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.
