Julie may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy.

Our puppies are well adjusted to home environment and socialized with children and other dogs.
All puppies are vaccinated and health checked with my local vet before going home.
Your puppy may come with extra benefits, like a small bag of food or a toy carrying the scent of their littermates. While Holloway Aussies hasn’t shared specifics yet, we encourage you to reach out directly to learn what thoughtful extras they may include to help your puppy transition comfortably into their new home.
Julie offers options to help you easily get your new puppy home.
If you’re nearby, you can visit in person to pick up your pup. If you’re far away, you can travel by car or plane.
“We don’t ship our puppies, but you are happy to come to our home or I can meet at our local airport. ”
Why Julie started breeding
I have always wanted to raise Mini American Shepherds. I bought my first girl about 5 yrs ago. But at age 3 she died in my arms with a disease that couldn’t be detected until an autopsy was performed. At that time I promised myself I would raise healthy puppies with all testing being done and vaccinations done on time.
