Q. & A. with Ann
Why did you start breeding?
We researched the breed and fell in love. We got our first Aussie in 2014. After a lot of research, we decided to breed her. We had her tested, found the perfect stud in 2016, and the rest is history!
What makes your program special?
These dogs are our top priority. We dedicate our time, our energy & our love to these dogs and their little ones. We want to breed healthy, sound, and well-rounded pups so others may enjoy them as much as we do. We use Puppy Culture to imprint and train them, to help them get the best start they possibly can. We run full panel DNA tests on all of our breeders and are striving for totally clear dogs and pups.
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 are blue merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Brucellosis
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
