We (Albert and Haley Gongwer) are both from Wakarusa, Indiana and both graduated from Northwood High school and Bethel College. Albert is a biology teacher and football/track coach at Mishawaka high school, and Haley is a registered nurse at Saint Joseph Regional Medical Center on the post-op unit. We got married in June of 2017, and just brought home our newborn daughter, Evelyn.
   
We have been breeding mini aussies for 3 years now, and we have prior experience with dog breeding as we both come from families who have been breeders. Albert’s parents have bred German/King shepherds and Haley's parents have bred chocolate labs, shih tzus, cava-poos, and currently breed golden retrievers (Sonrise Goldens). We knew we would want a dog or two, so we did a lot of research on what kind of dogs would best fit us (biology teachers have no problem doing research!) and we landed with the mini-aussie and have had no regrets with our choice! If you haven't noticed, we also love Marvel, so both of our dogs and all of our puppies are named after Marvel characters (or Star Wars) (Odin is the father of Thor, Pepper Potts is Iron Man's wife). Obviously you will be able to name your puppy whatever you want, we just enjoy naming them after super heroes! Finally, we are not a puppy mill. We don't breed our dogs just to make money, we do it because we love it, we love our dogs and we want to share the joy of owning high quality dogs with others. We put most (if not all) of the money from our puppies right back into our dogs. For example, we built a quality fence for Odin and Pepper with the money from our first litter, along with paying for vet bills, food and toys. We also have no intentions of selling Pepper or Odin when they can no longer be bred. They are our pets first, and breeding dogs second. We hope you enjoy your new puppy, and keep us in mind in the future when you want to expand your family with furry friends!
