Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Honeybee Australian Shepherds located in West Virginia. We are experienced breeders, and we take our role seriously. We keep a variety of factors in mind when choosing dogs to breed, including health, temperament, pedigree, and complementary traits, so that puppies can inherit the best of both parents.
