Manoella’s experience

  • About Manoella

    I am dedicated to my Australian Shepherds, I strive to breed well-rounded dogs that will make not only amazing family pets, but that can excel in any venue. I take time with each one of my puppies to assure they will be socialized. We carefully evaluate each puppy and based on temperament, donate qualified prospects to individuals with a disability or service dog organizations. We want to enhance lives thru dogs.

  • What makes Manoella’s program special

    I aim to breed for health and temperament. My dogs are raised inside my home as a family with much love and attention. My puppy owners become part of that extended family. I want every owner to know I am here to help any way I can. Puppies receive early neurological stimulation, early scent introduction and are exposed to different situations and people so they can grow up to be well-rounded dogs.
