Meet the breeder

I'm Leann S., the breeder behind D4R Australian Shepherds located in Ennis, MT. I'm a home-based hobby breeder specializing in quality Australian Shepherds with a focus on conformation, color, breed standards, and health. I have been working with this incredible breed for 10 years and counting. I hope to help families find their puppies from responsible and ethical sources to help build a better and safer world for our dogs!

Q. & A. with Leann

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I have always been passionate about the well-being of animals. I wanted to put my passion to good use! It's been a joyful commitment, and it is a pleasure to live with, work with, and share with others these wonderful dogs.
  • What makes your program special?

    I am an experienced breeder, and I take my role seriously. My dogs are an integral part of my family and daily life. This creates the ideal environment for puppies. From birth, they grow in a secure, loving environment where they know that they matter to their family -- that they have a purpose. I keep a variety of factors in mind when choosing dogs to breed, including health, conformation, pedigree, and the breed standard to produce the highest-quality pups that I can. I am confident that each one will become a treasured family member!
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include black, red merle, blue merle, red, black tri-color, and red tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
