Q. & A. with Philip
Why did you start breeding?
I realized that too many Australian Shepherds could not do well in an urban environment. I decided to work with breeding them to develop smart, beautiful, healthy dogs for families to enjoy.What makes your program special?
I am just starting out, but I have followed my breeders' advice and more on bringing quality Aussies to families. I am honest, and upfront about letting you know the puppies' health and DNA before you add them to your family.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
