Quality Aussies
Our puppies are raised to be awesome family pets, as well as talented working dogs!
​
Ranch Raised
Our dogs roam free on our working cattle ranch, as we believe in raising them with the freedom they deserve. They're not kennel dogs, but beloved pets, companions, and working partners. We keep our kennel small, offering only a few litters each year to ensure our dogs receive the love and attention they deserve.
