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.
