Welcome to Old-Time Australian Shepherds

Home of hard to find "old-time" Aussie traits

An Aussie owner/lover since 1975, we are committed to raising quality Australian Shepherds as family and working companions.

Our pups are ASCA registered, have a health guarantee and come in a variety of
colors. We breed the "Old-Time" lines and excellence, where temperament, brains, physical condition, and herding ability were foremost. Unfortunately, over the years, many of these traits have been bred out of Aussie's.

Pups come from Champion and/or Hall of Fame pedigrees and are intelligent, hearty, gorgeous, and loyal beyond belief. Farm raised and well socialized they will be the BEST dog you have ever had!

Our females display high levels of maternal instincts, and have approximately one litter per year. Our pups are raised in an environment that allows them to explore the world around them.

Our pups linage are OFA hip-tested, CERF eye-tested, and are checked for good bite before breeding.

Litters are up to date on vaccinations, de-worming, and vet checked before they go to their new families.

Shipping and delivery arrangements may be possible.

Pups are sold on a spay/neuter contract unless we make other arrangements.

Our Aussie's come from some of the best foundation kennels around...Twin Oaks and Las Rocosa.

This is a picture of Lucky at almost a year. Read the fantastic story about Lucky below.

Hello Dianne!

I have been meaning to drop you an email to share with you how Lucky is doing.

You were not kidding when you told us he'd be the best dog we would ever own! He's not a dog, he is a member of the family. We've had him in obedience classes at Dog Works in Eden Prairie and he has won the graduation contests in every class ( I guess that makes him Top Dog ). He knows almost 30 words and can pull specific toys we request out of his box in the living room (now, if I could just get him to put them away...wait, I can't even get my boys to do THAT...what am I thinking??? )

He loves riding with me to the dog park for daily walks and I swear this is what is helping me keep in shape. He goes out on the boat fishing with Tucker for hours and enjoys the water. He can catch frisbees and balls and will do this for hours if you let him.

He has fabulous herding instincts and corners both our cats daily. Poor Buddy, my yearling cat...if he's on the counter or table, Lucky is on him like white on rice! I kinda like that! He would like to keep him on track and try agility classes at Dog Works. We are introducing him to stock next Saturday (sheep).

I feel so safe with him in the house watching my kids if I'm late getting home from work or run to Cub.

We need to send you some updated pictures as he is just a beautiful red and white with yellow eyes. We get compliments on him daily when we're out and about. Promise! I just need to get them out of my camera ...I'm so lazy.

Thank you , thank you, thank you for selling us such a terrific dog. I know how much love you put into raising these wonderful animals and we believe that is why he's so confident and well adjusted.
