About our Babies

SkyRyder strives to produce exquisite Australian Shepherds, bred to the breed standard with love and care.

We prioritize health, temperament, and pedigree to bred happy, well-balanced animals.  

​

We  only produces a litter when we plan to keep something for our own program and to add a new member to our family.  We breed approximately every 4-5 years and only after careful consideration of the traits of both sire and dam, thorough health screening, pedigree evaluation, and temperament.

SkyRyder puppies are raised in our home where they are exposed and socialized with children, dogs, other animals, variety of new people, and the sounds of our busy household. Our puppies, when available, are placed in companion homes, our puppies are not for breeding with contracts requiring spay/neuter. Puppies are not exclusively available for show or breeding homes as we want our puppies to be an  active lifelong member of a family. We do not accept deposits for our puppies as we do not guarantee a puppy from our litters.
