Our Beginnings
Lake Michigan Aussies
We are Rick & Marcie Boomsliter. We formed Lake Michigan Aussies several years ago when we fell in love with this highly intelligent, versatile breed. We wanted to see other people be blessed by healthy, happy Aussies, just as we have been. We did tons of research and discovered a number of attributes that we wanted to promote the breed.
About the Breed
We learned a tremendous amount about how to handle, show, train and breed these precious dogs.
Our Aussie Family
After all is said and done, we are proud to share with you our Ausssie family.
Our Place
We live in Michigan, near the Great Lake of Michigan. We recently relocated a little over an hour inland in a lovely farming community called Mendon, Michigan.
