Q. & A. with Teresa

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My neighbors had a mini Australian Shepard. They were unable to keep them, so I bought her from them. I just fell in love with them. I started doing my research, talking with breeders. I started by co-owing a female with a breeder who is one of my mentors and then purchased another from the same breeder.
  • What makes your program special?

    I have two fantastic breeders who are mentors, for whenever I have a question. I use the Puppy Culture and Badass Breeder program. These programs set up a strong foundation for puppies for their new home. I will always be available as a mentor for anyone who purchases a puppy from me. My puppies are socialized with dogs and livestock. I do health testing on all my breeding adults.
  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include blue merle, red merle, red, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Teresa is a genuine, knowledgeable, and responsible dog breeder. We found our sweet Jozie through Good Dog and Teresa from Willow Flats Kennels was amazing to work with. She came supplied with an outstanding amount of information regarding the breed and made sure we were fully prepared! She even checked in with us to make sure we adjusted well within the first few months, as well as gave us updates on our puppy before we picked her up. I would recommend all of my family and friends to go through her!

    Teresa was very responsive and received us warmly as we came to meet and decide on pups. She and her family obviously love these dogs, and the pup we chose - now named Lili - is healthy, adorable, loving and very smart. She fit right in with our older Aussie who adopted her immediately, and they are still very best friends. We love that our pup could keep her beautiful tail! Altogether a very positive experience.
