About Us
As a progressive breeder, we strive to move forward building the perfect Toy/Mini Aussies with each succeeding litter. As a hobby, rather than a business, we can afford to be very discriminating with the individuals selected for breeding. Health, in addition to conformational qualities and temperament, is our prime consideration.
We only have 1 or 2 carefully planned litters a year that are raised in the house under foot for proper socialization. Please do not be offended if we ask you a lot of questions. We try to insure that each buyer is a responsible owner and educated in the breed so that each puppy will be a perfect fit in a forever home.
I've always loved animals from the time I was a child. My family had always had cats, but I knocked on neighbors doors until I found a daily dog walking task. Graduation sent me to the corporate world from which I have recently retired. During those years, I raised a child while managing to stay involved with breeding and showing.
In addition to showing and finishing approximately 35 AKC champions in other breeds and two International championships, there were multiple obedience titles completed, including a Utility Dog title and even tried a little tracking with a Sheltie. I've judged conformation and was an obedience instructor for the Charlotte Dog Training Club. Currently, I am serving as President of TASAA, Toy Australian Shepherd Association of America and also the Membership Director. In addition, I am also a member in good standing and an officer of Piedmont Kennel Club, our local all-breed club, in addition to other regional and national Specialty clubs, including NAMASCUSA, NSCA and CDTC. Dogs have been my entire life.
We believe that Quality is priority One over Quantity. We are willing to talk with you at any time about dogs, whether you buy from us or not. Even if you are just interested in learning more about the Toy and Miniature Australian Shepherd, come visit with us and the dogs if you'd like but please call ahead for an appointment.
