- our passion is producing dogs with both beauty, and the ablity to perform in both the conformation & performance ring. In addition, we breed only those dogs passing extensive health clearances. We are not large, only exclusive and enduring. Our dogs truly have it all!!
Our story:
Gottabe was established in 1994 with our first aussie, Jazmin from Sunshine Aussies. Our first breeding was in 2000 & produced, Mult. CH. Gottabe's Spot The Winner, Multi. CH. Simon Says Fairplay, OTCH MACH7 Multi-agility-titled Gottabe's Sparking Cider, and our wonderful Gottabe's Ima Makin U C Red. These crosses started the foundation of my kennel. Gottabe's goal for my minis is to consistently produce wonderful, affectionate, intelligent, healthy, biddable Aussies with a height range of 16-18" and weighing 22-35 pounds (though we don't always get what we want - ask any parent of a teenager!). We are now on our 4th generation and have produced many multi-titled conformation, agility, herding, obedience, Rally-O, and family companion extraordinaire! In addition, ALL of our breeding dogs have multiple generation health clearances also. Located in Nevada, but serve CA, OR, UT, WA and most of the US (including Alaska) & even "over the pond" in the UK!!
