I'm Erin G., the breeder behind Davis Creek Kennel located in Higginsville, MO. All of our dogs undergo genetic testing. Before breeding, results are compared with potential suitors to ensure the best pups possible. We provide in-home socialization with people of all ages and sizes to help with a comfortable transition while maintaining a safe and healthy environment. We love our dogs and are excited to share them with people that love them as much as we do!
Q. & A. with Erin
Why did you start breeding?
It has been an absolute joy of a journey, and we are so happy to be able to share these wonderful dogs with other loving families and individuals. We take pride in what we do, and we treat our dogs like family. It's an amazing feeling knowing that we made a positive contribution to these dogs and the families who love them!
What makes your program special?
Our dogs are an integral part of our 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. It would be our pleasure to introduce you to your next Australian Shepherd puppy!
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Australian Shepherd 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.
