Welcome to Sandollar

AKC Breeder of Merit 2021
​AKC Junior Showmanship Judge #931220

As a dedicated breeder of Australian Shepherds, my journey in the dog fancy began at the young age of 7 competing in Junior Showmanship and has expanded ever since. My family got our first two Aussies, Cody and Amber, from Janice Brough at Otter Creek Aussies. Amber was my first juniors dog when I started competing. During my junior years, I worked for various handlers who taught me the ins and outs of handling, grooming, and breeding. A special thanks to All-Breed Handler and Breeder, Kay Palade, who mentored me for over 10 years.

After aging out of juniors, I earned my B.S. and M.S. in Industrial Engineering from the University of Central Florida. Today, while I do have a full time job as a Production Finance Manager, I continue to devote my free time and weekends to my breeding program and to the fancy. Sandollar's foundation began with my heart dog Aubrie who was co-bred by Juli Wiseman and I. I owe many thanks to Juli for being an amazing mentor in my breeding program.

​ Our dogs are family members to us and live in the house year round. Breeding is my passion, not my job. With over 25 years of experience and a deep love for the breed, I strive to produce Aussies of exceptional quality, temperament, and health. Through meticulous breeding practices and a commitment to ethical standards, I aim to contribute positively to the preservation and betterment of this beloved breed.
