I'm the breeder behind Loveland Kennels located in Kalamazoo County, MI. Our program is founded upon love and respect for all things dog. We are dedicated to placing the perfect pups into loving homes. Our primary goal is to produce healthy working dogs with good temperaments that are family-friendly. It would be our pleasure to help you take the next step in adding a new Aussie puppy to your life!
Q. & A. with Sarah
Why did you start breeding?
We wanted to put our passion for these two breeds to good use. Breeding healthy, happy puppies is our way to give back to the breed and the families who love them. We want nothing more than to see each of our dogs and puppies shine!
What makes your program special?
We treasure each puppy in our program and give them all the attention and care that we possibly can. We work hard so our puppies can leave our home with confidence, ready to take on the world with their new family!
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
