HOUSTON, dad
Miniature Australian Shepherd
About HOUSTON
Houston is our lovely Stud. Since we are a very small program with 1 female and 1 male, Houston is a part of the family. He loves to play with the kids and is a cute cuddler. Getting attention is his favorite time of the day. He listens very well even in situations where other dogs are not listening (neighbor dogs). Houston has the right personality and confirmation to produce quality pups that will suit your families needs! Houston does great with all our kids and even tries to comfort them while they are crying. He is a sweetheart

+4It was a real joy working with Emma to add River to our family. She provided us with a bag of goodies that included a framed pic, great information, food and a paw print kit. We really appreciated her communication and caring through the whole process❤️
