Meet the breeder

I'm Riley K., the breeder behind Aussie Acres located in Osakis, MN. Welcome to Aussie Acres! Owned and operated by me, a 17 year old high school student! I breed Australian Shepherd × Australian Cattle Dog mixed pups to support ag life with smart, loyal working dogs that also make great family members!

Q. & A. with Riley

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My interest in breeding started after growing up with Australian Shepherds and seeing how much I loved the breed. I became interested in learning more about responsible breeding and eventually started Aussie Acres as my FFA Supervised Agricultural Experience. Since starting in 2022, I’ve gained hands-on experience with breeding, raising puppies, and caring for my dogs.
  • What makes your program special?

    Aussie Acres is special because it combines my passion for Australian Shepherds with my FFA SAE and my goal of becoming a veterinarian. I focus on responsible breeding, health and genetic testing, and giving puppies a strong start through proper care and socialization. I want every puppy to be raised with love and placed with a family where they can thrive.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
