Hi, my name is Sara McDonough-Elsenpeter. I have always loved animals and learning. I grew up in a small town in Wisconsin where I was always bringing home sick animals and trying to talk my parents into keeping them. We lived in town and had a couple of Golden Retrievers. I trained all of the dogs in the neighborhood as well as my dogs to do all sorts of different things that my dad wished I wouldn't (like how to jump gates). During my years at college, I didn't have any pets, except fish, but I was able to get my animal fix by working on a dairy farm. That farm was my first experience with alternate options to health. After graduating from UW-RF with a BS in Animal Science, I was able to have animals again starting with the purchase of my quarter horse mare. Soon after that came my 1st Australian Shepherd. With the dogs came the dive into herding, agility, obedience, conformation, and training. I breed Australian Shepherds with kennel name Twin Bluff and my first litter is almost two years old.
