Amanda K.

Breeder of Toy Australian Shepherds

Meet the breeder

I'm Amanda K., the breeder behind Arcola Ranch Toy Aussies located in San Tan Valley, AZ. My dogs are bred for athleticism, intelligence, and temperament, making them great family dogs or companions on a ranch.

Q. & A. with Amanda

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I stumbled upon Toy Aussies a few years ago and after falling in love with the breed I decided to get into breeding.
  • What makes your program special?

    My dogs live in my home and are my family. They spend their days at the range with me and are well socialized, all puppies will come ready to be a part of your family. I also do not dock tails, your puppy will come with a tail, ready to wag when it sees you!
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include black tri, blue merle, red merle, and red tri. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
