Q. & A. with Rachel
Why did you start breeding?
We raised our 4 daughters on a hay an cattle ranch. We bred and raised quarter horses, cattle, and other livestock. We always had an aussie with us. Eventually, I chose to get involved in breeding mini aussies. I have been blessed to have had knowledgeable meantors guide me on my journey as I embarked into the aussie industry. And from there the love for this breed has only multiplied.What makes your program special?

I understand the breed, I care about and I know each pup, I enjoy training our pups, keeping them healthy and happy, but, seeing the fruition of my endeavors which results in the best puppies anyone will love, that is the icing on the cake.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
