Australian Terrier Breeder


Theresa Greetings from Northwestern Wisconsin! I am a wife, mother, breeder and author. I home school 2 of our girls and our 3rd is now on her own. 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 6 Australian Terriers and 2 Australian Shepherds. We own and have bred some of the top Australian Terriers in the USA. We have been honored at the 2011 AKC Eukanuba National's with the highest award for a breeder, Best Bred-by Australian Terrier and the 1st Award of Excellence. This win was awarded to our Ch. Dunham Lake Gabriella Touched by an Angel "Gabby" handled by her 12 year old breeder/owner/handler, my daughter, Ellie. We have Championed several Aussies and we have Champions in training, 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 support health testing and temperament testing as well as evaluating proper conformation prior to breeding. We believe in breeding for quality not quantity. We do not ship our puppies. 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
