About Us

 

About Saddle Peak Aussies

We are a small hobby farm/show breeder located in Southwest Missouri. Our dogs get to enjoy a fun-filled life on 60 acres with a toddler, chickens, cats, and horses. We train and compete in performance events, while mainly focusing on conformation. We frequently travel around the Midwest to dog shows and events. While many of our dogs are athletes, they are loved and cherished members of our family first and foremost.

We are members of the American Kennel Club, Australian Shepherd Club of America, United States Australians Shepherd Association, and our local kennel club. All of our dogs are American Kennel Club (AKC) and Australian Shepherd Club of America (ASCA) registered. They have all completed genetic testing for certain diseases, as well as having their hips, elbows, and eyes (yearly) certified through the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA).

Our litters are fed Purina Pro Plan while being raised using Puppy Culture. These programs give our puppies a great start to life and ensure they will become the best dog and family member they can be. All puppies are placed in approved homes with Limited Registration and a spay/neuter contract, unless otherwise agreed upon.

Puppies will have their tails docked, be microchipped, dewormed, and first vaccines. Prior to going home, puppies will also have OFA eye exams completed by a canine ophthalmologist. Puppies are sent home with AKC and ASCA registration applications, microchip documents, OFA eye exam documentation, Trupanion 30-day insurance, a small bag of dog food, and a toy/blanket that smells like their mom/litter mates.

We guarantee a lifetime of breeder support, even after the puppies leave for their new homes. We are happy to provide any information and answer any questions you may have!
