Australian Terrier Breeder


Theresa Greetings from Northwestern Wisconsin! I am a wife and a mother of 3 wonderful daughters. I home school 2 of our girls and our 3rd is in her Senior year of college. I work part time at our church. I also have a small Website business providing website design to small businesses and friends. Previously, I had a 25 year banking career. Retired several years ago, as a Vice President of Commercial Banking and Business Development Director for a financial institution. I have owned and raised dogs and cats for over 40 years. In 2007, we started to show and raise Australian Terriers. We have 4 Australian Terriers and 2 Australian Shepherds. We have AKC Champion Aussies including one of our Aussies has been ranked in the top 5 All-Breed Terriers in the United States. That being said, our dogs are first and foremost our companions. Our two younger daughters, are actively involved in Junior Showmanship, it has been a great activity for them and our family as well. I take my role as a breeder very seriously. I have studied the breed for several years, I support health testing and temperment testing as well as evaluating proper conformation prior to breeding. We had our first litter Spring of 2009. Our litters will be few. We believe in breeding for quality not quantity. Regardless of whether your puppy comes from us or not I hope you find our site a helpful resource. If you have questions about our program or about the Aussie Terrier, please e-mail me theresaagoiffon@msn.com or give me a call@ 715-689-2675. Thanks for visiting us! Blessings, Theresa
