Q. & A. with Lourdes
Why did you start breeding?
I decided to go with a reputable breeder when I bought my first Australian Shepherd and later bought breeding rights when I thought I could be a breeder myself!
What makes your program special?
I breed according to standard and temperament is very important to me. I want my Aussies to have naturally calm temperaments unlike your typical high energy Aussies that are bred for herding.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies include tiny and miniature sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Toy Australian Shepherd puppies include black tri, blue merle, red merle, and red tri. Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies include blue merle, red merle, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
