I'm the breeder behind Merrigang Australian Terriers located in Fletcher, NC. I breed only when I want a puppy for myself or another breeder. My puppies are bred for conformation, performance, and or pets. I strive to make sure every owner has the ability to get the very best out of their puppy. Sometimes the most ordinary things can be made extraordinary simply by doing them with an Australian Terrior.
About Heather
I am a veterinarian and my dogs are conformation and performance dogs. They live in my house and I have no more than 3 dogs at a time.
What makes Heather’s program special
I only breed when I need a puppy, so I take careful consideration of what I look for in a sire. I carefully match pedigrees and health clearances and temperament.

I use Puppy Culture protocol and all puppies are crate and leash trained. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Crate Training, Leash Walking, and Puppy Culture .
My pups are chipped, vaccinated for distemper and parvo, wormed as needed, and sent home with a month of heartworm and flea tick preventative.
We send our puppies home with Go home bag and AKC Registration.

“I prefer not to ship ..the co owner lives in Massachusetts and may be driving down to pick her pups, so she might get them to Massachusetts ”
Why Heather started breeding
I downsized from Dobermans ( rescue ) to Australian Terriers. My contract stated that I would finish my bitches championship and breed her to the sire of the breeder's choice. I would then give her a puppy and she would sign off on the co-ownership
