"Dogs always have a way of finding people who need them" - Thomas Jones

Welcome to Sweet Magnolia Aussies!
We’re located just 10 miles east of Redding in beautiful Northern California, near Shasta Lake. Australian Shepherds have been my passion since 1992, when my husband gave me my very first Aussie—a red merle named Rudy. He was the beginning of a lifelong journey I cherish every day.

With the support and guidance of my dear friends and mentors, Michael and Krystal McGuire of Trilogy Aussies, Sweet Magnolia has grown into a small hobby kennel dedicated to breeding beautiful, purpose-bred Australian Shepherds.

My focus is on producing happy, healthy, and well-adjusted family companions who are also capable of excelling in Conformation, Agility, Obedience, and Herding. I breed to preserve the versatile Aussie, staying true to both the AKC and ASCA breed standards and honoring their heritage as working farm dogs.

When I’m not at home with the dogs, you’ll find me doing what I love most—traveling to shows, training up-and-coming pups, or hitting the Agility course with my heart dog, Stark. Watching him fly through a course with that signature Aussie smile is pure joy.

Our puppies are raised right in our home, as part of the family. They are given the best possible start with early socialization and enrichment through Puppy Culture methods. Every day brings new sounds, sights, and experiences to help them grow into confident, well-rounded companions. We also begin basic training to make their transition into their new homes smooth and successful.

Before going home, all puppies are dewormed, vet-checked, and receive their first vaccinations. We take great care to match each puppy’s personality and strengths with the lifestyle of their new family.

Thank you for considering Sweet Magnolia Aussies—we’re so happy you’re here.
