We cannot say enough wonderful things about the experience we had with Janella in getting our Australian Shepherd puppy. From the very first contact , it was clear how passionate, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring she is about her dogs. It is obvious the puppies are raised in a loving, healthy environment. My expectations were well exceeded in how intelligent, well behaved and calm our puppy was from the moment we brought him home. Throughout the process we were kept updated with photos, videos, and fun facts about the puppy’s daily activities. Our family is new to dog ownership and Janella was always happy to answer questions, no matter how small. Our puppy came home happy, calm and well adjusted especially for a puppy. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and we are beyond grateful for the joy our puppy has brought into our lives. Since this is a review and recommendation letter I will say confidently If you’re looking for a breeder who genuinely cares about her dogs and goes above and beyond to help owner transition then I highly recommend Janella and her well raised awesome Australian Shepherds.

We had a fantastic experience getting our new Aussie puppy from Janelle! She was incredibly responsive, sent lots of pictures and updates, and you can truly tell how much she loves her dogs. The pups are raised in a warm, loving home, and our new puppy has been sweet, well-adjusted, and so loving. Highly recommend Janelle!
