I'm the breeder behind Blue Rock Australian Shepherds located in Limerick, ME. I am a preservation hobby breeder of Australian Shepherds with an intense focus on temperament, health, and soundness. My passion is poured into every aspect of my breeding program. It is very important to me that my puppies go to homes that will give them as much love as I would.
