Q. & A. with Jane
Why did you start breeding?
We love the Australian Shepherd breed. We had Blue Heelers and one day while picking up hay, a friend brought her Miniature Australian Shepherd over and I told my husband I wanted one. It was about a year later that I got my first pup, Maggie, and that is where my love affair began. Our dogs have brought us so much joy and happiness that we wanted to give back to them by producing the highest quality dogs and providing them a wonderful life with wonderful families. It has been an absolute joy of a journey, and we are so happy to be able to share these wonderful dogs with other loving families and individuals.What makes your program special?
We are passionate about Aussies, and our love for these dogs shines through in every aspect of our breeding program. All of our dogs are bred, raised, and loved indoors to produce happy, healthy pets who are great companions for individuals and families alike. We are very dedicated to what we do and what we are trying to achieve as breeders. We work with passion, heart, and integrity, and we truly want what's best for the Australian Shepherd line.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies include black & white, blue merle, black tri, red tri, and red merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?

Maverick filled a hole in our hearts we never knew we had. Breeder Jane was so accommodating, educating, and prepared him & us with her mothering instincts, integrity, and genuine love. Good Dog is “vetting” good people too!

Flash has been the sweetest addition to our family. He is the most mild-mannered and affectionate puppy we have ever had! He has been great with our kids and with any visitors we have in our home. Jane was informative, a fast communicator, and accommodative. She was a joy to work with! If you’re looking for a mini Aussie - look no further!

Willow ridge aussies helped make my little family complete! Jane was very responsive and worked with me to meet me halfway to drop off my puppy. She bathed him, trimmed his nails and made him a little go bag with food, treats and toys which I thought was so precious. My dog is well socialized and super smart, not to mention a cuddle bear !! Thank you Jane

Our little girl was so well cared for by Willow Ridge. She is so very sweet, loves to cuddle, loves the kids and people, loves the other dogs and was obviously handled and socialized very well. She’s incredibly smart.. out of all the dogs we’ve trained, she picks up on commands very quickly because of her eagerness to please. She loves praise. She already knows commands to potty outside which is remarkable for a pup her age. Willow Ridge (Jane) is very knowledgeable, honest, and responsive — I would highly recommend this breeder.
