The Weaverville Farms Story

 

Weaverville Farms is owned and operated by Jared Weaver, a local Health/PE teacher, baseball coach, farmer and dog breeder. Jared and his wife Heather always loved being in the forest and after saving their money, they built a house deep in the hills of Scappoose to help nurture the same love of the great outdoors with their newborn Daughter Ava. They have since had Isabella and now run the farm as one big happy family. After several years of working the land and sprucing up the barn into indoor/outdoor dog-kennels, Jared finally had the opportunity to do something he had always dreamed of: breeding and showing Australian Shepherds.

Jared grew up around his Grandma Thelma, AKA “Grambo,” who developed Love Link Havanese, one of the most successful Havanese Dog Breeding ventures in the entire Pacific Northwest. One of Jared’s fondest childhood memories is going to his Grandma’s farm to visit the puppies and play outside. More than 25 years later Jared puts the same time, care and energy into breeding as Thelma did so many years ago.

As time went on, Jared wanted to add some livestock to the farm to produce organic meat and to provide the dogs with jobs around the farm. He started by adding New Zealand Rabbits and is now a major provider of live meat-rabbits for the PNW region and a member of the American Rabbit Breeders Association (ARBA). After experimenting with several breeds of sheep, Jared and Heather fell in love with Painted Desert Sheep (PDS) and never looked back. Weaverville Farms is now a member of the Painted Desert Sheep Society and produces high quality, super colorful, registered PDS lambs.

Weaverville Farms is solely dedicated to breeding the absolute best Australian Shepherds and providing the most robust genetics, healthiest nutritional diets, and happiest living environments possible. Everything done at Weaverville Farms is to strive toward creating the best working, companion, and show-quality Aussies available. While several other animal species are being raised at Weaverville Farms, these are all done in order to provide our dogs with the best social-training environment possible and to give them jobs to perform related to herding, nurturing, and guarding. We put everything we have into these puppies in order to provide you with the best possible companion!

Thanks for choosing Weaverville Farms, we hope you love your new puppy.
