Meet the breeder
I'm Shannon S., the breeder behind Water Wheel Farm located in Sidney Center, NY. We responsibly breed, raise, & socialize healthy pups so others can enjoy the gift of living life with French Bulldogs & Aussies! We started breeding with the simple mission to breed the very best dogs that we can, to raise them with love, and to find them the perfect future homes.

Why did you start breeding?
I wanted to help make the breeds better. I choose animals for my family and breeding program that are the highest quality dog and I want to share my love for the breed with other families!What makes your program special?
We raise our puppies in a farming family atmosphere! The puppies are well socialized from as little as day two bc I simply cannot keep my kiddos away from them!! We just love all things animal!!What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
