My first Australian Shepherd came to me when I was still a child. Shadow was so smart, sweet, and willing. He wasn't registered, well bred, or show quality, but he was my best friend. He passed away at 13 years old and to this day I get teary thinking about him. He fueled my passion for dogs that still burns in me today and I thank him for his loyalty for all those years. I fell in love with the breed. I grew up, went to college, and got married, telling everyone in my path what an amazing dog he was. I promised myself I would get another Aussie. Later, my husband and I decided to reach out to a local breeder and she blessed us with our first show Australian shepherd. From there, I built a breeding program that I am very proud of. My husband and I have 2 young kids and we love raising puppies in our home!
