our wonderful mother that started breeding Australian Shepherds in the 1980's. She passed on May 25, 2015. We, her daughters, are keeping her line going. She loved the Australian Shepherds for their great intelligence, hard work ethic and versatility. The Aussie is a no-nonsense dog who thrives in a home where his brains and energy are put to good use. You don't have to keep a flock of sheep if you live with an Aussie. Australian Shepherds are loyal, beyond loyal, they are your shadow. We could not imagine our lives without them. We thank our mom for the Australian Shepherd line she has given to us and can pass onto you!
