What's Included?
For over 15 years, we have been raising Standard Australian Shepherd puppies on our farm. We are intentional about raising healthy, happy puppies, that are well socialized and have wonderful dispositions. Brice and I live with our five children on our farm in southeast Iowa. We are blessed to be able to homeschool our children, which gives our puppies the benefit of having someone home with them most of the time. Our goal is to provide other families with the same joy that our Aussies have given us. If you are new to the breed, we'd love to chat with you to see if this is the right breed for you. In our breeding program, we currently have one female, Merci, and one male, Reuben. In the past we have had a larger program, with multiple females, but for many reasons, we have downsized. Merci is a third-generation female, meaning that she and her mother were both born and raised here. Our top priorities are health, disposition, and making sure each puppy is placed into the right home.
"But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve... But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” Joshua 24:15

Adoption Process & Fees
As an Iowa breeder, I encourage people to come meet our puppies in person whenever possible. We allow visitors before puppies are born or after they are 4 weeks old.
We request a nonrefundable deposit of $200, which comes off the total price of the puppy. You can either send a deposit before the litter is born and save a spot in line to select a puppy or you can wait until the puppies are posted for sale (around 3-4 weeks of age), select a puppy, and then pay the deposit to reserve that puppy. Puppies are ready to join their new families at 8 weeks of age.
Merle puppies are $950
Tri puppies are $750
New to the breed and not sure what Merle or Tri means? It's simple, Merle Aussies have spots, tri puppies are a solid color with white and/or tan markings. If you are new to the breed, please be sure to do your research and make sure the energy, intelligence, and possible protective nature of this breed is right for your and your family.
Meet our Aussies!
Merci is our sweet Blue Merle female. She weighs around 50 pounds. Merci is friendly, generally calm, and loves to go for runs. She enjoys chasing chickens, ducks, and balls. I raised Merci and her mom; they come from a line of wonderful dispositions and health. Merci is a wonderful companion and mother.
Reuben is a handsome Black Tri Male. He is my shadow and prefers to be wherever I am. He loves running the farm, belly rubs, and chewing on bones. Reuben weighs around 60 pounds. He is a blue-eyed tri carrier and has previously produced blue eyed tri puppies with Merci. Reuben is active when he's outside, but totally chill when he comes inside. We love this guy!
Coming Soon!

Although most of our merle female Australian Shepherd Puppies are already spoken for, I am accepting deposits on Black Tri Females. Sending a deposit saves you a place in line on Selection Day! (Selection Day is the first day that I let people choose a puppy. Puppies are chosen in the order I receive deposits and if there are any that are not selected, I will post them on my website.)
