Passion and dedication come together in our program to preserve and celebrate the Australian Shepherd breed. Based in Southeast Missouri, we are a small-scale hobby breeder committed to producing exceptional Australian Shepherds who are family first—sharing our home, our lives, and our hearts every day. We strive to produce Aussies that embody the best of the breed: intelligence, athleticism, versatility, and a temperament suited for active, engaged homes. Our dogs excel in a variety of venues, including conformation, agility, dock diving, scentwork, Fast CAT, obedience, and herding, where they showcase the grit and drive that make this breed so special. At their core, they are loyal and loving companions who bring energy and joy into every aspect of life.

How Our Puppies Are Raised

Our puppies are born and raised in our home, receiving intentional care from their very first moments. We follow Puppy Culture protocols, including Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) and Early Scent Introduction (ESI), to build confident, resilient, and adaptable puppies. Each puppy experiences a variety of sights, sounds, surfaces, and environments to nurture curiosity and confidence. Socialization is a cornerstone of our program—our puppies have positive interactions with children, other dogs, and new experiences to ensure they are well-prepared for their future homes.

A Lifelong Commitment

When you bring home one of our puppies, you become part of the Ausdauer family. We believe in lifelong support for our puppy owners, offering guidance and encouragement every step of the way. If you're looking for an Australian Shepherd that combines beauty, intelligence, athleticism, and a loving spirit, we’d love to introduce you to our program. Our dogs are bred and raised to be exceptional companions, ready to bring joy, energy, and versatility to your life.
