I'm Kristine H., the breeder behind Aussie Mesa Ranch located in Williams, AZ. We offer top-quality puppies from carefully planned litters. In our breeding program, we strive to produce exquisite puppies with a focus on temperament, structure, pedigree, and health. It's so fulfilling to have the opportunity to create companionship and love and to see the positive effect that a beloved, furry companion can have on its family. We would love to introduce you to your next Aussie puppy!

Q. & A. with Kristine

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I hold an immense love for all animals, but especially for my Aussies! I want to give back to the breed by producing phenomenal, healthy puppies and provide them a wonderful life with wonderful families. I hope others can enjoy the same fulfillment that I have in sharing my life with an incredible Australian Shepherd!

  • What makes your program special?

    I am a careful, intentional breeder of quality Australian Shepherd puppies. I strive to produce puppies that are excellent in health, correct in structure, kind in temperament, and come from amazing pedigrees! By creating an environment of health and harmony for young puppies, I believe I am able to give each little pup the very best chance to reach its potential, express its best character, and bring forth its greatest gifts in the relationship with itself and to its family.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
