About Us
Ranch family raised quality purebred Australian Shepherds
Our dogs are raised to be companions or working dogs and the best family pet you will ever find. Our Aussies are loving, athletic, and smart with great personalities. We have been raising & focusing on this beautiful breed for over 15 years and are now raising our 4th & 5th generations from our foundation lines. Our Aussies are loving, athletic, and smart with great personalities! We focus on raising HEALTHY, beautiful, versatile dogs who can excel in any situation from loving family pet to competition venues.
WE SELL DIRECTLY TO THE PUBLIC - Our puppy owners are invited to come visit our ranch to pick out their puppy in person if possible. We welcome any new owners at choosing time or at pick up time to come here and visit! Visits are by appointment only. We also set up delivery days to meet families partway for pickup if you live too far away to come visit us here.
Our dogs are NOT kennel dogs - they are our family pets and loved and each dog & puppy gets all the individual attention they deserve. We live on 14 acres in Nebraska where our Aussie's get to run, play, chase goats & chickens, swim in the pond and enjoy life.
Our Aussies are AKC, ASCA or ASDR registered. We have chosen our dogs carefully from fully genetic health tested parentage. Our dogs are clear by parentage of the hereditary cataract gene and from excellent or good OFA hip rated lines. We believe in regular health screening and professional vet care for our dogs. With your puppy you will receive a Contract, registration papers for either AKC, ASDR or ASCA (if applies), current vaccinations, and vet certified health check. We offer a 2 year guarantee against any health / genetic issues.
Built on a solid foundation of sound temperament, beauty & good health!
When we started raising Australian Shepherds in 2010 the world was a very different place. The breed was not well known & certainly Aussies were not commonly found in family homes as pets. The Aussie was mainly found on ranches or in show homes & was, in my opinion a hidden gem of a breed. Through the years the breed has gained in popularity & now you will see Aussies everywhere you go whether in town or the country. This versatile breed is also very complex and lines can vary greatly in temperament, energy & activity. We have focused over the last 4 generations on keeping only dogs for our future program that are well rounded, sound, loving & easy to live with Aussies! With the bonus of being beautiful & full of personality which we feel started with our gorgeous foundation dogs on this page. They can excel in any situation or home from the ranch to the city to the competition venue. We strive to maintain our consistent look & personality in our dogs & share those puppies with wonderful families who want these traits! Raising Australian Shepherds started out for us as a fun hobby that over the years has become our family business that we are so blessed by every day. To see more pictures of our wonderful foundation dogs over the years please visit our Ranch Photo Gallery Page!
WE DO NOT SELL TO BROKERS OR PET STORES! We meet each and every one of our new puppy owners IN PERSON at pickup/delivery of their puppy at 8 weeks of age or older.
Raising our Aussies is a family hobby that has become the center of our lives!
