Camas Creek Australian Shepherds
Meet the breeder
I'm Susan R., the breeder behind Camas Creek Australian Shepherds located in Pullman, WA. We breed to the Australian Shepherd Club of America (ASCA) standard. Our Aussies are home-raised and loved. We focus on performance sports, agility, obedience, and rally obedience. We also compete in conformation. Athleticism is important, but our primary focus is producing a dog that will become an important family member. We look forward to connecting with you!
Q. & A. with Susan
Why did you start breeding?
I moved away from a trusted breeder, and decided I would like to try breeding my own dogs. It is such an honor to preserve the line of these incredible dogs all the while creating companionship for others!What makes your program special?
Our focus and understanding of performance are what make our program special. Our puppies are raised in our home. We stay in contact with our puppy homes for the life of the pup. While many of my dogs have made exceptional show prospects, all of them have become excellent family dogs and lifelong friends!What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red merle and blue merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
