Mariah W.

Breeder of Australian Shepherds

Meet the breeder

I'm Mariah W., the breeder behind ZM Australian Shepherds located in Mayes County, OK. I love being a breeder. It's so fulfilling to see the positive effect that a beloved, furry companion can have on its family. In order to give my puppies the best start to their lives, I begin puppy socialization while they are with me, and I am careful to provide a healthy environment in which they can thrive. They will be raised around young children and cats. I look forward to connecting with you!

Q. & A. with Mariah

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Growing up my mom was my inspiration, she bred yorkies. Not my ideal dog, however she taught me many things when it came to responsible breeding. After years of research on a couple breeds I was interested in. I have finally decided to go with my absolute most favorite. The Australian Shepherd. I have done my fair share of research on responsible breeding specifically regarding the Australian Shepherd, genetic issues, health issues and coat colors and their possible issues when breeding.
  • What makes your program special?

    I strive to breed for the betterment of Australian Shepherds. Full Genetic testing and ofa hips/elbows is a must in my program. I am breeding for good confirmation, good temperament and a good drive with an off switch.
  • 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.
