Our Story

At Happy Herds Breeding Co., we believe that a happy, healthy start leads to a lifetime of companionship. We specialize in breeding exceptional Australian Shepherds and majestic Maine Coons – two of the most loyal, intelligent, and family-oriented companions you can welcome into your home.

Our approach to breeding is guided by a deep respect for each animal's unique personality and needs. Our dogs and cats begin their journey in Queens, NY, where they receive early socialization and the kind of human interaction that sets the stage for confident, well-adjusted pets. Once the litters arrive, we raise them on our sprawling 40-acre farm in New Hampshire, where they have the space to explore, grow, and develop their natural instincts.

We are passionate about providing our animals with the best possible environment, blending the stimulation of city life with the tranquility and freedom of rural living. This balanced upbringing creates pets that are as adaptable as they are loving – ready to become your new best friend, whether you live in a bustling city apartment or a quiet country home.

At Happy Herds, our mission is simple: to match each family with a healthy, well-socialized, and truly exceptional pet, while supporting our owners every step of the way, from the first inquiry to the joyful day their new family member comes home.
