About Us

​My husband, Al, and I moved to the beautiful Ozarks in 2005 and fulfilled our dream of living on a small farm. Raising quality animals has always been my passion. I feel fortunate that I was able to own dogs since I was ten years old. I used to breed and train German Shepherds (mostly imported bloodlines) for two decades. I took a break for almost fifteen years while raising sheep, goats, and Scottish Highland Cattle. Recently, we purchased Indy, our Australian shepherd. Then, I heard about an amazing combination, a blend between the Bernese Mountain dog and the Australian Shepherd. We had our first litter of Australian Mountain Dogs, a.k.a. Bern-Aussie, in 2020.They are absolutely beautiful and represent the best of both breeds. Our goal is to have something for the fanciers of the Bernese Mountain dogs, slightly smaller, and with greater longevity. We just had our second litter this year, and our puppy buyers are raving about them. We believe that the Australian Mountain dogs are perfect for your family: super smart, sweet, gentle with children, well balanced, agile, friendly and with a willingness to please.

Testimonials

"We adopted Balu in August and he has really brightened our lives. It has been wonderful dealing with Kirsten. She keeps in touch and gives great advice as Balu matures. We have shared a few pictures and a video of Balu playing in the snow. I would definetly adopt from Passion Flower Family again and hope to in the future."

"Getting our puppy, Houston, has been the best addition to my life! He is a show stopper. We keep him very social and bring him everywhere with us, and he gets stopped by everyone to compliment how beautiful and calm he is. Working with the breeders throughout the process and after we received Houston has been so appreciated. They care immensely about their puppies and it shows through their communication. I would recommend anyone to reserve a puppy through them - you will not regret your decision!"

"Nothing but great things to say about Passion Flower Family Dogs! We had the most amazing experience right from the start, and our little Millie Rue is the best puppy ever. Living in Georgia I was a little worried getting our pup would be a difficult process, but they made it painless. Mrs. Kirsten sent many photos and videos, and kept us updated up until the day our pup was delivered to us. She even checks in periodically to see how everything is going! They truly love their dogs and treat them like family, which makes a huge difference in the puppies. I’m so happy we found them and I absolutely recommend getting a puppy through them if you are looking for a great experience from start to finish!!"

She is a pleasure to talk to and made picking up our new baby easy. We would definitely adopt from her again. HIGHLY recommended."   M.H.
