Inizi

Inizi, Australian shepherd breeder in Bend, OR, serves Deschutes County in Central Oregon near Redmond. Cathy Sartor has been breeding for over ten years and follows health testing protocols recommended for each breed.

Her dogs live in a family environment where daily social interaction and mental stimulation are part of their routine. Puppies are raised indoors and gently introduced to household routines before venturing outdoors for social walks. Many owners appreciate the attention given to each puppy’s temperament and the ongoing support offered as pups grow.

We schedule regular veterinary checkups, vaccinations, and parasite prevention to ensure each pup starts life with a clean bill of health. Breed-specific play areas allow Australian shepherds to practice herding instincts, while chihuahuas, doberman pinschers and miniature pinschers enjoy cozy indoor play zones. Sibling socialization is encouraged to foster confidence and resilience, preparing puppies for homes in various lifestyles.
