Meet the breeder

I'm Rachel T., the breeder behind CTR Farmstead located in Sedro Woolley, WA. We are a small family farm located in Skagit County, WA. We breed ASDR Australian Shepherds. The joy we have in raising these puppies to be loving companions for any family is a true blessing. These puppies are raised in our home, around children, and exposed to many different sounds and things as they grow up.

Q. & A. with Rachel

  • Why did you start breeding?

    When I was in Highschool I worked with an Australian Shepherd breeder and fell in love with the breed. Fast forward 15 years and our family was able to purchase our first Australian Shepherd. We bought her to be our family dog for our small children as they grew up. We also bought her with the intentions of breeding her to provide other families these wonderful dogs at an affordable price.
  • What makes your program special?

    We raise these puppies in our home. They are handled daily by children and are exposed to many sights and sounds. We take pride in breeding good temperament dogs.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies are red tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Breeder-Reported Testing

Good level

CTR Farmstead reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Australian Shepherds.

  • Vet Wellness Exam

    A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.

  • DNA Disease Panel, Multiple Drug Sensitivity (MDR1)

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).

Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
