Q. & A. with Livia

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Our journey into breeding started with our love for Australian Shepherds and everything that makes this breed so special. After experiencing their intelligence, loyalty, personalities, and versatility firsthand, we wanted to responsibly contribute to the breed we had fallen in love with. What began as a passion for our own dogs grew into a desire to produce well-bred Aussies while prioritizing health, temperament, structure, and lifelong placement.

  • What makes your program special?

    Our dogs are family first, and we believe that should be reflected in every puppy we raise. Our puppies are raised in our home with daily handling, socialization, and exposure to normal household life from the beginning. We put a strong emphasis on health, temperament, structure, and responsible breeding practices. Our goal isn’t simply to produce beautiful Australian Shepherds, but to raise confident, well-socialized puppies with the temperament and foundation to become wonderful lifelong companions. We remain committed to our puppies and their families long after they leave our home.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
