Bodacious Australian Shepherds
Meet the breeder
I'm Rebecca G., the breeder behind Bodacious Australian Shepherds located in Clemons, IA. I have been involved with Australian Shepherd dogs for 20 years. I currently have a small dog training facility and teach pet dog classes, competitive obedience classes, rally, and conformation. I regularly show my dogs in conformation and compete in competitive obedience and rally competitions. I also make kangaroo show leads, obedience, and rally leashes, as well as matching slip and martingale collars. I truly love all things dog.
