Q. & A. with Adrianne & Kamron
Why did you start breeding?
Founding Emerald Isle Australian Shepherds was the product of many conversations had in a car, family discussions, and interactions with experienced ethical breeders. It inspired the responsible preservation of the versatile Australian Shepherd… and so the journey continues.What makes your program special?
At Emerald Isle we take the responsibility of being ethical breeders very seriously. We truly believe that the Aussie should not just be beautiful, but versatile. We place the utmost importance on breeding dogs that are sound of mind & body. In every breeding decision we make we’re striving to produce dogs that excel in all venues, but also the most important job of ‘excellent family companion’!Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Getting a puppy from Adrianne & Kamron
Adrianne & Kamron has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.
Adrianne & Kamron partners with buyers to find the best match as the puppies develop and their personalities take shape. Typically, matches are finalized when the puppies reach about 9 weeks old.
“All our puppies are evaluated at 8 weeks for temperament and structure. From there we make our keeper selection, and the placements of the show quality puppies. Show quality puppies are generally very rare, you only get one or two in a litter! All of our puppies are incredible, but the criteria to be a top show dog is not unsimilar from the criteria to be an Olympic athlete, it is rare and highly specific. Our show quality puppies are available only by private contract and generally only to fellow breeders we know well. When placing pet puppies, while we try to take preferences into consideration, and we can generally accommodate gender preferences, we do not place or price puppies based on their color. Pricing puppies by color is a red flag in a breeder; the same amount of expertise, time, and love goes in to all our puppies! Of course, we are the mercy of nature as to what we are given in a litter (if I could place orders I would lol) but we try really hard to offer puppies to families based on their temperament, energy level, and personality. This ensures that the puppies someone gets to pick from are the options that would make the best family member members for them. Placing puppies this way ensures that it’s a good fit, not just an aesthetic preference that may not be as well suited. Our responsibility is always to the puppy, first. That’s not to say that someone’s exact preference will not be available, but we like to set the expectation early, and for our buyers to be open to an amazing baby that might not be the preferred color. At the end of the day I promise personality and temperament mean so much more!”
Price
“Puppies are fully vetted, dewormed, w/first vaccination, our puppies go home with a “puppy packet” that has their parents info, vaccination record, & a handbook to give you & your baby the best start! A deposit goes towards the price of your puppy, while non-refundable the deposit can be transferred to a later litter!”
Contract & health guarantee
Adrianne & Kamron may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Adrianne & Kamron offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don't hesitate to reach out to Adrianne & Kamron directly.

Litter and program updates
Adrianne & Kamron T.
Litter update on 09 Feb •…Why can’t I pick MY puppy!? One of the hardest shifts for puppy buyers who get their first ethically bred dog is letting go of getting to “pick” your puppy.. and I understand why it’s a tough shift. Especially in a breed that can have flashy bold markings. Breeders shouldn’t match puppies based on who placed the first deposit or who fell in love with a photo or even what puppy ran to you first. We should be evaluating puppies carefully over t ime, because who they are matters far more than how they look. We’re watching structure, movement, confidence, recovery, drive, and most importantly overall temperament. We’re comparing littermates… against each other, against the breed standard and against our puppy applications. We’re looking at how each puppy develops week to week. How they handle startles, who’s at the front to check things out and who hangs behind to make sure it’s safe. This is ongoing evaluation, that results in pages of notes and lots of scribbled out lines. Coat color (while fun in our breed) doesn’t tell you how a puppy will handle stress, mature mentally, or fit into your lifestyle. A good match is about compatibility, not cosmetics… I promise. Puppies change daily and ethical breeders wait until they have enough information to make our perfect placements. So bare with me.. I know it feels like an eternity waiting to hear who’s going home with you! This is why I strongly believe pet owners should “pick a breeder not a puppy” (If you’re getting a Emerald Isle puppy, we normally don’t make placements until 8-9 weeks) When you trust a breeder to match you with the right puppy, you’re not giving up control. You’re going to get the very best puppy for your family, with so much thought put into the decision! Your breeder knows each puppy like the back of their hands! I promise, I’ve never had anyone hand a puppy back to me because it wasn’t flashy enough 🫶🏼

Paddy is a gorgeous addition to our breeding program that comes to us all the way from Czechia! He is an incredible tempered dog, very sweet and willing to please, and an absolute joy to live with.

He brings a lot to the table as a sire, with wonderful substance, an absolutely gorgeous head, and lovely movement. Paddy sits on the upper end of the Aussie breed standard for size, measuring 22.5in at the withers and weighing 63lbs. He really is a bear! We are very excited to have him here with us and cannot wait to see his babies.

Reef, dad
Australian Shepherd
About Reef
Reef is as wonderful to live with as he is beautiful. He has been a constant companion for 13 years and is as faithful today as he always has been. As a sire Reef is prepotent, producing dogs who excel in every arena they walk into. He has sired Best in Show winners, both in the USA and in Europe, Working Trial Champions in herding, Obedience Champions, Master Agility Champions, to date he is the only sire of two Top 20 winners in conformation, and many more progeny with many other incredible titles. Because of Reef’s intrinsic intuition for people, a trait he passes to his kids, he has also produced many service dogs. His kids, with their predisposition for this perceptiveness, have excelled as service dogs for PTSD, therapy dogs, and alert dogs for diabetes and seizures. But at the heart of all their accolades, Reef kids are exceptional pets. Kind and loving, stable in temperament, and deeply attached to their families, and that is always the most important thing ❤️
