“Become Part Of The Legacy” 

Hello, My name is Dianne, owner/breeder of Old-Time Australian Shepherds.  My husband Jack and I are full-time hobby breeders (we produce less than 5 litter’s per year) and “farm managers” (we raise quarter horses, katahdin sheep, and enjoy a small flock of laying hens).  Our hallmark is we have the time and ability to concentrate on the quality of the puppies, offer them plenty of socializing, and provide a variety of experiences to enhance their development here on the farm.  We have placed Aussie’s in 47 states and 7 countries over the last 25 years, carrying on the preservation of Old-Time Australian Shepherds.

One note here… Socialization alone does not make a stable or mentally sound puppy. Genetics provide the temperament, intelligence, health and natural instincts, and coupled with proper socialization the genetics give a solid foundation. However, all the socialization in the world will not make a spooky, apprehensive little puppy, grow into a confident adult. This is where our experience as the breeder becomes extremely important. We have raised the parents, grandparents, great grandparents (some litters 5 generations) and siblings of the various relatives, we know where the traits come from and how they will develop. We have eliminated undesirable characteristics as best we can, and understand how to combine various individuals to enhance the best mental and physical qualities of each and every pups we raise.  No fads here, just real deal Aussies.

Our dog’s linage is exceptional and goes back to some of the very best kennels over the last 70 plus years.  On our website each Aussie listed will have a link to their ASCA or AKC pedigree and genetic testing results. Please take a look around and contact us with any questions about our little retro pups.  We’d love to hear from you!
