Our inspiration for raising and breeding Aussies is "Buddy". We met him in our kitchen one afternoon. Buddy came through the garage as we were unpacking boxes and moving into our new home in his neighborhood. At 75 lbs with big white teeth, we admit we were a little fearful when we first saw him, until we realized he was SMILING at us! This gentle, beautiful animal stole our hearts and changed our lives. Our love for Australian Shepherds began with Buddy.
