I am a retired USPS Postmaster having served in the postal service for 33 yrs. I had an Australian shepherd as a child and love the breed. When I was close to retiring I decided I would like breed Australian Shepherds in the smaller sizes (Toy & Miniature). I selectively purchased 4 pups to start my breeding program. Genetic testing each of my breeding parents to ensure to raise healthy offspring. That meet the breed standard.
I have trained a couple of my adults in SAR, also trained a couple as therapy dogs. They are so easily trained and I really enjoy it.
