Makaela & Aaron Chato

Makaela and Aaron share a lifelong passion for purebred dogs and now with their son Elliot, they continue to enjoy the wonderful world of dogs.

Makaela has been breeding Shetland Sheepdogs for over 18 years, while Aaron has grown up with Salukis his entire life - his family’s love for the breed began even before he was born. Dogs have always been at the heart of our lives, and they continue to play a vital role in our daily lives.

Although we met while living in different states, our shared passion for dogs brought us together. Today, we call Victoria home, where we proudly breed both Shetland Sheepdogs and Salukis, combining our experience, dedication, and commitment to preserving these wonderful breeds. Over the years, we have enjoyed great success in the show ring and as breeders, but our greatest achievement is raising healthy, happy dogs with outstanding temperaments.

We believe that exceptional nutrition is the foundation of every dog’s wellbeing, from growing puppies to accomplished show dogs and beloved family companions. As Black Hawk ambassadors, we are proud to support a brand that shares our commitment to canine health and excellence. We’re honoured to represent a brand we genuinely trust and recommend to fellow breeders and dog lovers.
