"A righteous man has regard for the life of his animal" - Proverbs 12:10
Hello and welcome to TrueHope Aussies! My name is Chris Wheatley and I breed Australian Shepherds!
We will be planning a RETIREMENT litter for our Paisley girl- 2025- we have a few reservation spots left so please inquire if you are interested.
Our story began 12 years ago, when we rescued our first Aussie named Dixie. She was five years old and we had no idea what we were getting ourselves into. Unfortunately, she had not been socialized correctly and was quite fearful of being inside; I had no idea how to help her. She was so sweet and smart and I often think to myself "if only I had known then what I know now." As fate would have it, I ran across a website of a breeder in Southern California who bred Aussies. I messaged her about a possible puppy (I wanted a blue merle, blue eyed girl). She nicely laughed and said "get in line". A few short days later, she called me and a puppy buyer had dropped her deposit and wondered if I was interested. Zip- (now 11), came to us and I vowed to do everything just right so that she was properly socialized, and would grow into a fabulous dog. I have to say that she is the reason I will have no other breed of dog. When our passion for Aussies began, I felt compelled to help others find the value of picking a dog that fits their lives and families, and to encourage others that if given the chance, these dogs would forever change lives. So 11 years ago, I began my purpose with Australian Shepherds.
I wanted to breed a beautiful, healthy and sound minded puppies that would go out into the world and forever change each new family. 7 years ago, I had the honor of whelping my first litter for my friend. Fast forward to now, 7 years later, I have fallen in love with breeding and raising these beautiful, highly intelligent dogs. Aussies have a way of coming into your heart, and forever changing your heart with their intelligence, loyalty and beauty. Our passion is raising puppies, and breeding our dogs based on temperament, and health. |
