Our Philosophy
Our program was developed after observing how amazing and intuitive Australian Shepherd's were with foster children that needed extra emotional support.
We believe in fully developing every puppy neurologically, physically, and more to help each pup reach his/her highest potential. In order to do this with all of our puppies, we developed our own specialized curriculum after collaborating with many other breeders. Instead of keeping our dams and sires in kennels for breeding, each of our dogs has a loving family to care for him/her either with us or an amazing guardian family. We specialize in producing outstanding puppies who are well-rounded and developed in every way through our extensive training programs. Our goal is to help every puppy find their perfect forever home with a family that loves them and promises to care for them their whole life. We focus more on finding the perfect matches between pup and family than trying to breed & sell as many puppies as possible. Many of our puppies make amazing service, therapy, and companion dogs due to our amazing programs as well as the outstanding breeding lines. We have a few different lines each designed for specific needs that different families may have. Glad to have you here, and we hope you enjoy learning more about our extremely thorough, loving program! |
All about your Breeder, Ms. Valerie
Ms. Valerie was a teacher for over 30 years and specialized in early childhood development. Her primary focus was the brain and how it formed within the first five years of a child's life. She dealt with many at risk children that faced trauma, autism and other life altering diagnosis that required early intervention. She was (and still is) very involved in the community, she traveled to homes, owned preschools, was on the county board and more. Helping people has always been a passion of hers.
Ms. Valerie is married to Jimmy and they have quite a full house, not including all of the dogs. Between the two of them, they have 12 children (his, hers, theirs, and adopted), and 5 grandkids! Jimmy, Valerie's husband brought the love of Aussie's into their home. He grew up with Aussies and shared his Aussie passion with Ms. Valerie. Their first Aussie together, was Beau and was an engagement gift from Ms. Valerie. Beau is where it all began. He was bred twice, producing well tempered puppies proven to become both service dogs and therapy dogs. From there Ms. Valerie purchased both Kai and Molly. At around the same time Kai and Molly came into their lives, the family started also fostering children. Due to her extensive knowledge and understanding of children and brain development, they chose to foster children with more prevalent trauma and unimaginable pasts. As they were raising Molly and Kai with their foster children, Ms. Valerie realized how gifted her dogs were at understanding the children's PTSD. She knew she could raise them in a way by building specific pathways in their brain through socialization to utilize their gift. Due to her understanding of child brain development, she implemented the same type of concept with raising her puppies. She met with mentors, other breeders and trainers to put together her first puppy curriculum. She learned about Puppy Culture, stumbled across "Badass Breeders" and was able to pull from each to develop a specific curriculum to raise her puppies. Ms. Valerie is very passionate about raising incredible puppies for all different types of families and puts her heart and soul into working with each pup. All of what she does would not be possible without the support of her family and her community. Her husband Jimmy, and her children are an incredible support system and have no problem getting their hands dirty. They work together as a team to create our future service dogs, therapy dogs and family dogs. They are committed to ensuring that each of their puppies are raised to be the very best companion they can be. |
