💙 Meet Dewey! Dewey is a handsome, happy boy with an affectionate, people-oriented personality. He loves being with his family, enjoys attention, and has a playful, confident nature. He looks so much like his sire and has the wonderful temperament we strive to produce at Winsome Australian Shepherds. Dewey has already begun age-appropriate training and is doing very well. He is crate trained, clicker trained, introduced to leash walking, reliably uses a doggy door for potty training, and enjoys car rides. He has also been thoughtfully socialized with other dogs and farm animals, helping him develop into a well-rounded companion. Dewey is AKC registered, microchipped, has completed a veterinary wellness exam, is current on his DHPP vaccinations, has been dewormed, and has a docked tail. Both of Dewey's parents have been DNA tested for inherited genetic conditions and have completed OFA health testing for hips, elbows, heart, and eyes. We are committed to breeding healthy, structurally sound Australian Shepherds with exceptional temperaments. If you're looking for a loyal companion with a sweet personality, solid beginnings, and a thoughtfully planned pedigree, Dewey is ready to become a cherished member of his forever family. 💙

Christine & Autumn were so great to work with! I feel like 1 month later I could still be contacting them. Huey has been such a joy to have in our lives. They feel like the most responsible, caring breeders that we could have worked with. Well worth the travel half way across the country!

I was invited to meet our puppy at Christine’s home and was so excited when I first saw her. Piper is outgoing and affectionate which tells me she was raised in loving surroundings. I was given extensive information on her parents and her health. In addition there was a large packet of information on what her daily schedule was and advice going ahead. I also received a generous amount of food and her personal toys, collar and leash. This is way more than I got from a previous breeder. I could not recommend them more highly. I feel if I have any questions or concerns I could contact them and they would respond promptly. This experience was a 5 star.

When our Aussie died, we looked for a reputable Aussie breeder. We found Winsome Aussies on Good Dog. With Good Dog it made the process easy to connect with Winsome Aussies. For some reason I keep wanting to call them Awesome Aussies but that must be because Christine and Autumn were so responsive, knowledgeable about the Australian Shepherds and so understanding about our loss. Our boy Heff who is 8 months old is so well trained. On his first day with us he traveled in the car and on a plane (with the passengers) without any problem. Our other Aussie Betsy who lost her brother just loves Heff. He has brought her to life again. Christine and Autumn have stayed in touch with us to check in, making sure all is going well with his training and interactions with our dog and us. Heff is an amazing and sweet puppy. Thank you, Christine and Autumn, for giving us a wonderful member of our family. Theresa and Dave

From our very first message, Christine and Autumn were incredibly responsive and provided detailed information right away. They took the time to call us to verify details and make sure we would be a good, responsible fit, which we really appreciated and found reassuring. Meeting them in person was an absolute pleasure—they were kind, welcoming, and it was clear how much they genuinely care about their dogs. Their passion and dedication truly showed in everything they shared with us. They also made it very clear that they’re always available for updates, questions, or support, which means a lot as new puppy owners. Our puppy Coia is beautiful, intuitive, playful, and so so sweet. We love her. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Christine and Autumn to anyone looking for breeders who are knowledgeable, thoughtful, and truly invested in their puppies’ well-being! Thank you guys so much!!!
