As a breeder, I have responsibilities that include:
- Limited breeding of healthy dogs of sound temperament.
- Breeding with the goal of improving the Australian Shepherd breed.
- Placing my puppies in responsible homes and doing my best to prevent unwanted dogs from going to the shelters or living in an abusive environment.
One way in which I facilitate the above is to ask my potential puppy families to answer this questionnaire. Thank you for your assistance!

The Miniature Australian Shepherd, North American Shepherd, North American Miniature Australian Shepherd, Miniature American Shepherd, and/or Toy Australian Shepherd breeds are not recognized as a variety of Australian Shepherd by ASCA. The club considers such dogs to be a distinct and separate breed and will not accept them into its registry.
