As a dog owner, a parent, a rancher, a neighbor, and so many other things.. we want a dog that is smart, loving, protective, does not bother the neighbors, takes care of our children and is easy to live with.
We believe when you take a dog home from our ranch you would want the same, so we strive to breed for the best.
Not all Aussies are bred the same. We breed the old line of the Australian Shepherd. A dog with focus, respect, a calm demeanor, a sound mind and a true desire to please.
We cannot say enough about these dogs and how amazing they are. We believe everyone should have a TRUE Aussie in their home. If you do not know the TRUE Aussie mind, you are missing SO much!
We take pride in our amazing dogs. They are more than just an Aussie, they are a mind and heart of the family. If you are looking for a family dog, a personal companion, a protection dog, or a dog that wants to work for you, then you will find that in our dogs.
All our breeding dogs are raised from a puppy on our ranch and almost all are bred by us, this way we know the personalities we are producing for you.
Our dogs are full panel genetic tested clear of being affected by Australian Shepherd desease traits and hips are tested good or better.

Reserving a puppy
Our deposit list is usually full prior to the breedings. Puppies do come available though, as people decide to pick a different puppy, or a different litter. You are welcome to get on the waiting list for notifications of upcoming litters by sending us your contact information. If you would like to hold your place in a litter, we require a deposit.
You can reserve a puppy in the litter of your choice by submitting a 200.00 non refundable deposit. You can do this thru PayPal or on our web site. Placing a deposit on a litter, will reserve you a puppy from the litter of your choice. This deposit is transferable to another litter only if the puppy of your choice ie; red merle male does not come available.
Reserves for a specific puppy of a litter are by first deposit received. Example, two people want a black tri female, the person who gave a deposit first will get first pick of the puppy they reserved. If there is only one black tri female in the litter, then the other party will be allowed to move their deposit to the next litter of their choice, or pick a different puppy from the original litter.
We have many people wanting the same puppy. So, once you pick, we have to inform the others on the waiting list that puppy is no longer available. Do to this, once your puppy has been picked, your deposit is no longer transferable. If the puppy is not paid in full and picked up on pick up date, you will be notified and have 24 hours to contact us or the next person in line will be notified the puppy is again available and your deposit will not be refunded.
When submitting a deposit, add the litter, color and sex of the puppy you want to reserve.
Once the Dam of the litter you are interested in is pregnant, you will receive an email from us notifying you. Once the puppies are born, we send information, pictures and videos throughout the process. Puppy pick time is 5 weeks of age.We wait until 5 weeks of age, so that you can better see the personality of the puppies before deciding on which one to take home.

About our Australian Shepherds and our program ...
There are thousands of Australian Shepherd breeders across the country.
Some breed for color.
Some breed for a pedigree.
Some breed for conformation.
We've always bred for something different… The Mind.
After living with Australian Shepherds for more than four decades, we've learned something that many people don't discover until after they bring their puppy home... the personality of your dog will shape your everyday life far more than its color or pedigree ever will.
Anyone can pair two Australian Shepherds together, the important part is understanding what those two minds will produce. For years, we have carefully selected our dogs for temperament, intelligence, stability, and real-life compatibility. We focused on each breeding to produce a personality that you will be thankful for over the years.
Our Aussie's are bred to be sound minded, making them excellent family dogs and perfect for a home with a smaller back yard. You will find an extremely smart, dedicated, focused and easy to train dog from our breeding program.
We start with making sure you get the right personality traits for your wants and needs. If you would like to tell us what you are you are looking for in a dog and what you enjoy doing, we will point you to the right litter for your home and family.
When you choose a puppy from our program, you are never alone. We are here to help along the way. We teach you training techniques that work and are available to help you with training even after you take your puppy home. We also have professional dog trainers and service dog trainers that work with our program. They are here to help you as well.
We want you and your puppy have a great future and want you to be happy with the puppy you choose to make part of your life.
