Welcome to SkyRyder
Australian Shepherds

We are a mother daughter kennel located in Phoenix, AZ & Casper, WY  - Founded in 1999  our kennel reflects a shared passion for breeding and raising exceptional Australian Shepherds. At SkyRyder, we take pride in being proud AKC Breeders of Merit  and an ASCA Hall of Fame Excellent Kennel. We intentionally maintain a small kennel to focus on producing high-quality dogs, emphasizing structural & mental soundness  in each of our dogs. Our commitment to excellence has led us to a rich history of success, with multiple ASCA Hall of Fame Dams, Conformation Champions in both AKC and ASCA, Working Trial Champions, as well as many Agility, Obedience, and Rally Champions.. We strive to raise all around Australian Shepherds, which excel in the show ring, herding, and performance events.  While many of our dogs go on to earn titles  our greatest accomplishment is placing dogs  in homes where they lead a  life as  beloved members of the family. At SkyRyder we believe all our dogs should be cherished companion animals first and show dogs second.

 

 “Not every pet is a show dog, but rest assured every show dog is a pet.”
