Litter and program updates
Kata B.
Program update on 02 Oct. •…Our pups get exposure to our outdoor cat as well as free range chickens. This supervised exposure teaches them not to bark at or chase other animals that live on your property once they know they are “friends”
Kata B.
Litter update on 25 Sept. •…They all have their automatic “sit” down pat now, some even progressed to “lie down” while others would rather do all the training right in my lap! They aren’t called Velcro dogs for no reason! 😆
Bear and Star's litter
Kata B.
Litter update on 20 Sept. •Pups were enjoying some one on one love today. They are all very affectionate and love a good cuddle!
Bear and Star's litter
Kata B.
Litter update on 04 Sept. •…Vet checks and Vax day for the pups! Making the vet visit as relaxed and enjoyable as possible helps build a foundation that makes life for their owners that little bit more easy. When it’s all about extra cuddles and treats for our pups, their owners only need to worry about their own nerves!
Bear and Star's litter
Kata B.
Litter update on 03 Sept. •…Our first heterochromatic pups! We think Comet will have one blue eye and one black and blue. Galaxy & Cosmo have one blue eye and I suspect the other is going to turn Amber! Excited to see that develop!
Bear and Star's litter
Kata B.
Litter update on 02 Sept. •Orion has found his forever family! Excited for him to go be a wonderful companion as well as playmate to some little ones 🥰
Bear and Star's litter
Kata B.
Program update on 02 Sept. •…Our pups are raised around children and have exposure to men and women that they are not used to seeing every day. We have had rescue dogs before and have had to train them out of a fear built in from their difficult start in life, fear of brooms, spraying water, doorways etc. Other common fears are the fear of men or children. We make sure our pups are confident and although they might let you know there is someone new in the house, they won’t do it from a place of stress or fear.
Kata B.
Litter update on 12 Aug. •…Little Mars has been reserved. He’s going to be living locally! Excited for his new family and looking forward to hearing what name they choose for him.

Litter update on 30 July •…Sweet little Cosmic Litter! Snow White and the 7 Dwarves could have suited this litter perfectly but I can’t bring myself to call a baby puppy Grumpy or Dopey! So Luna and the 7 cosmic brothers it is ❤️🐶🌙✨💫

Kata made the entire process so easy and gave me the confidence I needed through quick response times and lots of insight into any concerns I had. in It’s clear she has a passion for what she does and I am beyond lucky to have gotten one of her pups.

She was super easy to work with and very responsive to messages. We have had our boy now for nearly a month and are so happy! He has been wonderfully trained

Kata was very accommodating and knowledgeable with my purchase of a puppy. A great service
Jessica L.
Verified owner · Nov. 2025
Absolutely amazing working with Kata and her brother-in-law. They’re both very knowledgeable. Bean is my husband and I’s first puppy so, I had a ton of questions. They both helped answer as much as they could and even helped me on things I didn’t know to ask. As far as my little puppy, he’s such a gem. He’s a calm and happy boy. Don’t get me wrong, he definitely gets his zoomies here and there. But, he’s very well balanced. They did an amazing job setting him up for success by giving him a good foundation. I highly recommend if you’re looking for a Mini Australian/American Shepherd to get one from Kata.

Kata was the best when it came to giving information about the puppy’s and how they were. She was very responsive and truly cares for them! In the beginning she was willing to send extra photos and even videos of the puppies and were very accommodating to our needs for pickup. As soon as we stopped by our little puppy was ready to go and it couldn’t have been any better! After the long puppy pursuit we finally found our little girl.

Kata was truly wonderful to work with--very responsive, transparent, and knowledgeable. Most importantly, it was clear that all her pups were attentively raised as our pup joined our home happy and healthy. A huge perk of adopting an older pup was that our pup had already started basic obedience training and was potty-trained, so it made the transition into our household relatively seamless. Our girl is absolutely delightful and within a few weeks has brought so much joy to our family, so I would heartily recommend Kata!
