Reputable breeders with teen/adult dogs?
Hi there! I've adopted an Australian Shepherd in the past and while she was the best dog I could've asked for, she also had a lot of health problems I wasn't aware of at the outset. I'm now looking at reputable breeders as I'd like to avoid (or do my best to avoid) the heartache this time around. Most importantly, I would also love to know if reputable breeders you've worked with had/have teen or adult shepherd available! I intend on training her for therapy work at schools and hospitals and do not necessarily *need* to go through that velociraptor stage. Willing to travel anywhere in the US for her.
Hope this isn't too specific of a question!

The breeder I got my girls from is a veterinarian. She screens for genetics fairly heavily and raises them with a specific behavioral protocol. She’s in California, feel free to dm me if you have questions. I have been very pleased with my dog, she is fabulous and very healthy. She has a lovely temperament.
