Testimonials
When I started looking for an Australian shepherd, I was very picky about which breeder to choose, I went through endless websites and finally found Wiggle Bottom Ranch. From the beginning Suzy was very communicative and answered all my questions and continued to follow up with me. I told her exactly what I needed, which was a support dog, and she matched me to my Lucy perfectly. Australian Shepherds are known to be high energy dogs, with a crazy side, but Suzy’s puppies are almost shockingly too perfect. Lucy came home to me at 8 weeks, with a calm temperament, well trained, socialized, and just all-around stunning. It took me just a few days to have her fully potty trained. It’s no surprise though as Suzy puts so much energy into her puppies with puppy culture and making sure they get all the love they need in those first 8 weeks. Those first weeks of a puppy’s life are incredibly transformative, and I am so glad I picked Wiggle Bottom Ranch. Lucy is my absolute best friend and dream puppy. I get compliments everywhere I go! The best part is, after I took Lucy home, Suzy has continuously remained available to me and Lucy for all our puppy needs and questions. I’m so glad I choose to be a part of the Wiggle Bottom Family! I can’t recommend Suzy and her Aussies more; they are just truly a dream come true (and the wiggle butts are just too cute!!).

When our family lost our sweet Aussie in December 2021, we thought we would never get another one. I found Suzy online, I read other testimonials and everyone is true! I cannot say enough about this amazing breeder and her family. These puppies are so loved and cared for. She follows through every step of the way. We received emails, photos, texts and phone calls. It was such a thrill to watch our puppy grow. Our puppy was even potty trained when we picked her up! We have continued working with Suzy by taking her puppy classes. I highly recommend taking them even if you have had an Aussie before. You can do your research, but a guarantee you will never regret Wiggle Bottom Ranch and the O'Grady family. They truly are special.

We hadn’t had a puppy in 17 years and never through a breeder, so we signed up for the AKC PuppyVisor service to walk us through finding the perfect puppy. After going through lots of breeder sites, Wiggle Bottom Ranch met all our criteria. Our AKC advisor did her research and was impressed with Suzy’s involvement with her dogs, her training, and use of the Puppy Culture methodology.
While we impatiently waited until we could bring Tessie home, we received regular pictures and videos and were able to visit her at 5 weeks. Once we brought her home, we had a confident puppy who was almost potty trained and knew to sit to await instruction. She still automatically sits whenever she sees someone on a walk which impresses everyone. Our fellow classmates in puppy class wanted to know what we did to make her so confident. We absolutely love that she came “pre-programmed”.
Suzy treats her puppies like they are hers for life. Once we got home, we had so many questions and she was always available to help us with any concern we had. We are in San Diego so she even sent us information on some local events we could attend to help socialize her.
I highly recommend Suzy and will never have a puppy that isn’t Puppy Culture raised!

I highly recommend Suzy’s Aussies. We were initially undecided on what breed was right for our family, but we were convinced after we were introduced to Suzy’s methods. Thanks to Puppy Culture being implemented at such a young age, our dog is fearless and responds well to training. Our dog, Moxy, has been such a wonderful addition to the family. She is gentle and loving with our baby and follows us around like a shadow. She is an energetic dog and is top in her class with agility. Suzy has also been a good resource for our dog parenting questions as well. She really cares about the dogs that she breeds. We’ve referred many friends to her and look forward to getting our next Aussie from her!

We got our Aussie pup from Wiggle Bottom Ranch last September and could not be happier. He came to us well behaved (for an Aussie), almost potty trained and a happy, healthy pup!. He’s growing into a super fun, handsome boy. I love how they take the extra time to socialize, and work with the pups from birth to give you a wonderful, well adjusted new family member!

When we finally decided that it was time to add another dog to our family, I panicked. All these questions ran through my mind; how do we go about finding the right dog for our family? How will a new puppy get along with our 11-year-old dog? Will the puppy be too much to handle? Will he destroy our yard? After some researching, we found Suzy O’Grady with O’Grady Family Farms and my panic disappeared. Even before our Red Merle Australian Shepherd puppy named Ziggy came home to us, Suzy was training our Ziggy and preparing him to come home to us. Suzy was socializing Ziggy with children, adults, other puppies, and other adult dogs. Suzy kept us posted with pictures and videos along the way so we could see Ziggy’s progression. Suzy also prepared us on what we needed to have ready at home before bringing Ziggy home. When it was finally time for Ziggy to come home, Suzy was wonderful in providing us with all the details to care for Ziggy and Suzy made sure to keep in contact with us and made herself available for us when we had questions or concerns, as all new puppy parents do. Suzy’s professionalism and expertise as a breeder and trainer is absolutely amazing. When Ziggy came home to us at 8 weeks old, he was well behaved, potty, crate, and bell trained. Ziggy was already manding upon request to sit. Ziggy immediately connected with our family and our older dog. We owe this to Suzy who prepared Ziggy to come home to us from day one. When we went back to visit Suzy a few months after, Ziggy’s reaction to seeing Suzy was of pure joy. Ziggy’s reaction was a result of being so cared for while with Suzy and we are so extremely grateful to Suzy. Suzy is an absolutely amazing breeder and trainer and she takes the utmost care of her puppies.

We purchased our dog Scout from the O’Gradys at the end of 2018. I can’t speak more highly on what a great dog she is. She is a loving, sweet, healthy, smart girl, who is always eager to please and easily trainable. She is great with our larger male dog and our crazy cat as well as any animals we have exposed her to. She loves everyone and we can’t imagine our lives without her. Her even temper and stability I attribute to the amazing socialization the O’Gradys exposed her to from day one. They do a wonderful job socializing all their litters and I can honestly recommend one of their puppies to anyone with no reservations.

For over 30 years my family has had aussies. As our senior aussie, LD, was getting older we knew we would soon adopt a new pup. The question wasn't what kind of dog, because once you have an aussie, they are the only choice. The question was where to find the perfect dog. Our son, who purchased his dog from Suzy O'Grady introduced us. My husband and I met Suzy and her dogs and were so impressed we knew that Wiggle Bottom Ranch was where we would find our new family member. Suzy takes raising puppies seriously. You can tell by the way her place is organized and her animals, sheep included all interact. While it was a difficult choice to select only one, we knew we were at the right place.
March 2021 we brought Sir Mick Jagger aka "Jags" home. It had been over 13 years since we had a puppy in the house but with Suzy's help and guidance, we were ready. Jags has not yet made a mess where he sleeps at night. He was partially potty trained and definitely food motivated. Within three weeks he was ringing the bells to alert us that he needed to go out. He's been a delight to train as he is eager to please and loves his treats. Jags loves his walks at the harbor, meeting new people and dogs, retrieving, squeaky toys, puzzles, and being with his family.
Thank you, Suzy!
