Q. & A. with Octavia
Why did you start breeding?
Ever since I was a little girl I wanted a Red Merle Australian Shepard. After getting my first Aussie I fell madly in love with her, the breed, her personality, her loyalty. I knew right away other people needed to experience what I was experiencing. Now I'm able to share my love for this breed with others!What makes your program special?
I maily breed for temperament. A lot of breeders want to breed for certain colors, whether that be coat color or eye color. I had an amazing experience with my first Aussie I knew I needed to pass those amazing qualities down.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include blue merle, black tri, red tri, and red merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
