Willie Great Aussies
Meet the breeder
I'm Shaela W., the breeder behind Willie Great Aussies located in Utah County, UT. We're in-home hobby breeders. Our dogs are bred for health and temperament with a focus on conformation, athleticism, and intelligence. We are dedicated to providing our families with wonderful, healthy family pets. We would be thrilled to introduce you to your next beloved pup!
Q. & A. with Shaela
Why did you start breeding?
Australian Shepherds are an incredible breed, and I decided to start my breeding program in order to preserve the wonderful qualities I found in my dogs. I’m passionate about what I do and am dedicated to producing healthy, happy dogs for others to enjoy for years to come.What makes your program special?
My program is built from a foundation of love, admiration, and respect for Aussies from the ground up. My dogs are an integral part of my family and daily life. This creates the ideal environment for puppies. From birth, they grow in a secure, loving environment where they know that they matter to their family -- that they have a purpose. I am confident that my puppies will enrich your life just as much as my dogs have touched mine!What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red merle and blue merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
