"I've had dogs my whole life, but I have never experienced a breed like Australian Shepherds. They are the best! -- and specifically, the ones from Candee. The loving home of Hearts on Fire creates the best beginning for these loyal, loving, stay-by-your-side companions. Our home has been wonderfully transformed by the love from our two Rush pups!" (Jim & Cindy S. and Bleu & Lilly)
"We got our dog Marta from Candee. Marta is everything you could ask for in a dog. Smart, easy to train (housebroken in 2 days!!), active enough to play for hours, but she also loves to nap and cuddle. She is also beautiful! Between her disposition and her gorgeous features, my husband and I often talk about how lucky we were to hear about Candee and her Rush pups. I would (and I have) recommend Candee to friends and loved ones. My mom has two Rush pups from Candee as well. Best dogs...no contest!" (Will & Lisa B. and Marta)
"Wonderful, caring breeder who puts the well-being of her fur babies above all else! I adopted two Australian Shepherds from Hearts: a female tri and a male blue merle. Both are beautiful dogs but even more important, gentle and intelligent. I highly recommend Hearts on Fire Australian Shepherds as an outstanding breeder of wonderful Aussies!" (Laura B., Molly, and Tucker)
"Russ is THE BEST! He asks nicely for hugs and treats and to go play; he takes care of his business outside; and wakes me up with singing (along to my alarm) every morning. He is sweet and laid back, but will alert and protect me from any men, including my dad--lol. Can’t wait to bring home our newest addition!! Thanks, Candee, for breeding such good dogs!" (Hannah B., Russ, and new puppy Maybee)
“We got Arrow in March of 2020 under extraordinary circumstances: Arrow was the runt of a large litter, born underweight (5 oz!) and had problems breathing. We were unsure if he was going to survive--we are so thankful for the tremendous amount of work that Candee put in for weeks to keep him alive and well. Arrow is now thriving, full of love, and has the heart of a survivor (60 lbs now at almost a year old, and healthy as a horse!). We are beyond blessed to have him as a part of our family!" (Jared & Leah T. and Arrow)
"After adopting two rescues, I was hesitant for a third dog. As soon as I saw Penny's face, I knew she belonged in our family. She has been the sweetest, gentlest, most loving dog. She is incredibly smart, full of personality and just makes stress melt away with her dopey grin when she gets excited to see me. The way she has integrated into our family has been perfect. I couldn’t imagine a better fit." (Nick & Jayme G. and Penny)
