Q. & A. with Melissa

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My love for Australian Shepherds inspired me to share this amazing breed with the world in a responsible way. I want to do my part as a responsible breeder and produce healthy, well-rounded pups. I strive to not only produce beautiful puppies but to help promote responsible breeding in order to ensure that the Australian Shepherd will continue to thrive for generations to come.

    Miller's Legacy Australian Shepherds is committed to only breeding dogs that meet the strict guidelines for quality that we have deemed appropriate to improving this wonderful breed. We understand the importance of genetics, temperament, and structure, and every breeding decision is made accordingly. If our puppies are like their parents, they will also have personality plus!
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include red merle, blue merle, black tri-color, and red tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
