We have a small breeding program located in Northwest Indiana specializing in training, breeding, and raising Australian Shepherds and Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers. My husband and I have a great love for our dogs and find much joy in them. We strive to produce sound dogs with a range of abilities. We work closely with my mom who is nearby breeding and raising Border Collies.
How We Began
Our program began with our first Golden Retriever, "Ellie" and my mom's Border Collie "Sprite." We had previously owned a Border Collie mix and a Golden Retriever had been on our wishlist for many years. After much research and searching, we brought Ellie home in March of 2009. Together my mom and I continued to research breeding, training, and raising dogs and puppies. We welcomed our second dog and first male Australian Shepherd "Bear" home in 2010. On April 7, 2011, my mom's Border Collie "Sprite" whelped her first litter of puppies. 8 days later, on April 15, 2011 Ellie whelped her first litter of puppies. My mom and I thoroughly enjoyed raising the puppies and finding wonderful, new homes for them. We have so continued our programs with constant hard work and continual research to strive for the best.
Registries
We register our dogs and puppies through a few different registries. They are listed below:
AKC-American Kennel Club
ASCA- Australian Shepherd Club of America
Waiting List, Deposit and Pricing
Because we cannot control nature, we cannot guarantee what a litter will produce. We will accept deposits ahead of time making note of sex and/or color preference(s) if any. If a desired puppy is not available in our next litter, deposits are transferable to another litter. We will do our very best to work with everyone to get the sex and/or color that they desire, however, we feel temperament is the most important factor in finding the right fit. Puppies are typically chosen at 4+ weeks of age to allow us to see personalities along with developing structure.
