I'm Sara Z., the breeder behind ZoeZoo Australian Terriers located in Waupaca, WI. At ZoeZoo we are dedicated to the Australian Terrier as it is considered rarer breed. We are committed to producing dogs with great temperaments, type, and quality. Our dogs are bred for the show ring, performance, and companionship.
Q. & A. with Sara
Why did you start breeding?
For us, breeding Australian Terriers is a way to keep the AT breed relevant. To maintain a solid and quality dog that can perform in all aspects of life while still maintaining the type and quality the AT is known for.
What makes your program special?
The ZoeZoo breeding program is primarily ran by the children who's interest and passion started us down the road with AT. (Over sought by me.) The kids are involved from day one. The puppies are well socialized, started on kennel training, and other basic skills.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red and blue and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Parent health testing
Breeder-Reported Testing
Excellent level
ZoeZoo Australian Terriers reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Australian Terriers.
Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)
Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
Patellar Luxation
Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.
Thyroid (Autoimmune Thyroiditis, registered with OFA), Vet Wellness Exam
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
