Now accepting waitlist applications for our upcoming summer 2026 Australian Shepherd litters. Our dogs are health-tested, well-socialized, and bred with an emphasis on sound structure and stable temperaments.

We are excited to announce a carefully planned Spring/Summer 2026 Australian Shepherd litter, thoughtfully bred with structure, conformation, and temperament in mind. Our puppies are raised on our family farm and lovingly cared for from day one. Our dogs are health-tested, well-socialized, and bred with an emphasis on sound structure and stable temperaments.

We are planning on having two litters this coming April/May, meet the parents!

Ridge (Mom) – AKC registered Australian Shepherd, Blue Merle, Embark health & DNA tested. Ridge is a loving, loyal family dog who is adored by everyone she meets.

Riggs (Mom) Embark Health & DNA tested Miniature Australian Shepherd. Riggs is a beautiful dog with a love for a good adventure. She loves to go for hikes and swims and at the end of the day is content cuddling up for a good nap on your lap.
-We are waiting for the final results from her DNA/Health tests but should be available very soon.

Rip (Dad) – ASDR registered Miniature Australian Shepherd, Red Tri, Embark health & DNA tested. Rip is a big teddy bear with the sweetest personality and is always ready for cuddles.

*Disclaimer: Puppies will not be registered due to the parents being registered in different registries

All of the parents are owned by us, on site, and available to meet. They are adventurous, well-rounded dogs who love family walks and spending time together.

At our program, the health, happiness, and longevity of our dogs always come first. Each female is thoughtfully limited to one litter per year and is typically retired after no more than three litters, often earlier based on her individual needs. We only proceed with breeding when a mother has fully recovered and demonstrated excellent maternal wellbeing. Upon retirement, every dog remains a cherished member of our family and lives out their life here with us.

•Homes
Pet homes only, where puppies will be loved and cherished.
Breeding rights may be considered to the right home.

•Location
We are located in Southern Alberta by Lethbridge but can easily arrange delivery to a general location by Abbotsford.

Every puppy will be thoroughly vet-checked and up to date on their first vaccinations and routine deworming prior to going home. Each puppy will also receive a thoughtfully curated go-home puppy pack, including toys, treats, a comfort blanket with familiar scents from home, transitioning food, and a few special extras to help ensure a smooth and confident transition into their new family.

All puppies are placed with a contract designed to ensure they are going to loving, responsible homes. Should life circumstances ever change, the puppy must be returned to me and may not be surrendered to a shelter, rescue, or third party. This is simply to ensure the lifelong safety and well-being of every puppy I produce.

•Waitlist Information
Our waitlist is limited. Approved homes will be asked to complete a questionnaire.
Message or text us at (587) 394- 6145 to receive the questionnaire and reserve a spot.

We also welcome in-home visits or FaceTime visits so you can meet Ridge and Rip and see how our puppies are raised.
