Brandon S.

Breeder of Australian Shepherds

Meet the breeder

I'm Brandon S., the breeder behind 99 Line Ranch located in Hamilton, KS. We are a small, family-based program raising Australian Shepherd in our home- not kennel runs. Our focus is health, temperament, and ethical breeding. All dogs live with us as a family, receive full genetic testing, and puppies are raised with care, structure and early socialization.

Q. & A. with Brandon

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Our journey began when we brought home our first Aussie Calypso and fell in love with the breed’s loyalty and personality. With guidance from experienced mentors and a strong focus on structure and health, we chose to build a small, ethical program committed to raising well-rounded, family-raised puppies.
  • What makes your program special?

    99 Line Ranch is intentionally small, home-based, and focused on quality over quantity. Our dogs live in the home, not kennels, and every puppy receives early socialization, structure, and genetic screening. We prioritize temperament, health, and a family-centered environment to give our puppies the best possible start.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Getting a puppy from Brandon

Brandon has been certified by Good Dog's screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you're ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies.

Brandon partners with buyers to find the best match as the puppies develop and their personalities take shape. Typically, matches are finalized when the puppies reach about 6 weeks old.

"ALL applications will be reviewed and myself must speak with potential homes to make sure they are a good fit for our pups. Must fully understand the breed and nature of the breed before being placed as this breed is not for everyone. Once I approve you a deposit must be made to select a puppy or be put on our wait list."

Price

Puppy prices include a $500 non-refundable deposit and between $500 - $2,000 final payment, before taxes & fees.

"$1,000–$2,000 depending on color, structure, lineage, and testing. Deposits are $500, non-refundable, and hold your place for a puppy. Deposits can be transferred to a future litter if needed."

Contract & health guarantee

Brandon may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Brandon offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don't hesitate to reach out to Brandon directly.

Breeder-Reported Testing

Excellent level

99 Line Ranch reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Australian Shepherds.

  • Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)

    Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.

  • Patellar Luxation

    Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.

  • Vet Wellness Exam

    A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.

  • DNA Disease Panel

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).

Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
