Q. & A. with Nick/Julie

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Aussies have always been my ❤️ dog. I didn’t give breeding full thought until 2015, after a life-altering diagnosis. After lots of research, I purchased my first breeding pair. They were more for companionship than actual breeding. Fast forward 2 years, & proper tests done, I had my first litter. My breeding program is geared towards those in need of a well bred companion.
  • What makes your program special?

    Dams receive pre/post-natal care. All parents have been DNA/health tested. The pups are raised in home, w/daily human contact, ENS to help the pup have a pos. adjustment to stress. Pups have every 2 wks checks for deworming/health checks. Age approp. shots. Health cert. ASDR app. 1-year health guarantee, 30 days of free Trupanion health ins. Registered Microchip w/no fee to buyer.
  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our Toy Australian Shepherd puppies include black tri, blue merle, red merle, and red tri. Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies include blue merle, black tri, red tri, and red merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

    I am beyond delighted with my toy Aussie puppy from Looney Farm! When I first inquired about Rose (now Lucy,) Julie responded quickly, and answered all of my questions. When I picked her up, Lucy was up to date on all her immunizations, had gotten her rabies shot and her microchip, and had a clean bill of health from her vet, which was confirmed by my vet. The Good Dog app gave me confidence that I was doing business with a reputable breeder, and that my transactions were secure. Lucy is smart, active, adventurous, curious, and makes me laugh at her antics! I'm so happy to have her as part of the family!

    Ever since I was little an Australian Shepherd was my dream dog. A dream I never thought was going to come true until I stumbled upon Nick and Julie as soon as I saw Maggie I knew she was the one. They were quick to respond and made it so quick and easy to get my dream dog. They drove a hour away to make it more convenient for me to get her. They were so professional and you can tell they truly love all the dogs so much. Thank you guys for the best experience!

    Julie was very responsive and so easy to work with! We were so excited to get our new pup Waffles, and anytime we had a request for photos of video Julie was on it. They even shaved an hour off our trip by meeting us halfway. Would recommend them to anyone we know! Thanks again Julie!

    I absolutely loved this breeder. I am someone who does a lot of research & values feeling safe when making a large purchase. Tracey was absolutely amazing. She would send me picture constantly, she would update me on everything & even started naming my puppy after the name we chose. This was such a great experience. Would highly recommend to everyone.

    Very friendly. Willing to meet me and save 30 minutes off my trip. Lily, toy Aussie puppy, was ready with everything for a good start. She was shy at first but is really coming around. Good dogs for me was a safety feature from getting scammed! Thank you for such a great experience.
