Meet the breeder

Q. & A. with Libby
Why did you start breeding?
I grew up watching my grandmother breed and raise rottweilers, and then when I met my first Australian Shepherd I knew that someday I would have one. I researched them and saved up for several years before I picked the first female for my program and she is more amazing than I have words to say.What makes your program special?
We raise our puppies with love and dedication. They are a part of our family, so that they can complete your family.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black, red merle, blue merle, and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
