MilkyWay Aussies: Australian Shepherds with Tails

MilkyWay Aussies: Australian Shepherds with Tails Located in Garland, Maine. We raise purebred Australian Shepherds & keep all tails and dewclaws. I guess that was my first job…LOL! So now you know.

How we got our name: When we decided to start raising Border Aussies in 2017, we needed a name. My husband mentioned MilkyWay and it seemed to fit since Ridge and Teva (who helped us start it all) were the colors of a MilkyWay Dark and “MilkyWay” was my grandfather’s CB handle years ago and I thought back to when I used to sit in the office with my grandmother and call out, “How ‘bout ya MilkyWay”

over the CB and my grandfather would answer back, “How ‘bout ya Songbird” to my grandmother. It was the equivalent of a cell phone these days but the entire family could sit around the CB and talk. My grandfather was an entrepreneur who started his own milk trucking business and worked 7 days a week to supply for his family. He was a God loving, hard-working, honest man who instilled in me the same ethics. At an early age, he would hand me a jar and send me out into his garden to collect potato bugs for a penny a piece. It only seemed fitting that my first entrepreneurial endeavor should be named after him. That is where the name MilkyWay came from. We currently only breed genetically tested, standard size, AKC and ASDR purebred Australian Shepherds in our Garland, Maine home. All puppies are born and raised in our home. Our dogs are not kept in outdoor kennels or cold basements. They are loved on from the day they are born and around family from day one until we find them a loving home. We do not dock tails or remove dewclaws. We believe in keeping our dogs the way God made them!

Today's "PUP POST" is all about Nala. She is 8 years old, lives in Alabama, and from Teva/Ridge. The siblings from her litter are Amber, Aurora, Cass, Luke, Newt, and Rocket.

This is what her family has to say about her: I cannot believe my baby girl Nala is 8!! How? She may be the quirkiest girl, has zero sense of personal space, is pushy, has anxiety (probably inherited by me ), but she has brought light into my life even in the darkest parts. My precious girl has been with me through my 20s & watched me grow up. And yes, my happiness absolutely comes from my animals

Here are a few photos of our sweet Nala! She loves balls and will even go retrieve golf balls when her dad is practicing in the yard. Her favorite is a good ole fashioned tennis ball. She loves attention, knows so many tricks, enjoys staring at shadows, loves to swim, and oddly hates the shower curtain (not really sure what happened there lol!). She’s such a special girl ❤️
