More about Vanessa

  • Why Vanessa started breeding

    Ever since I got my first Aussie in 2009, I felt such a strong connection with the breed. I got more and more involved with the breed, and I decided to begin breeding. It has been an absolute joy of a journey, and I am so happy to be able to share these wonderful dogs with other loving families and individuals.
