Glenlake Australian Shepherds
Meet the breeder
I'm Katie T., the breeder behind Glenlake Australian Shepherds located in Shelbyville, KY. We are active AKC and ASCA conformation exhibitors and an AKC Breeder of Merit. Our goal is to provide healthy, happy, sound puppies to loving homes that treat their dogs as members of the family.
Q. & A. with Katie
Why did you start breeding?
My love of Aussies began when I was a young girl. My parents began the search for the perfect dog for our family. We found our first Aussie in 1997, a beautiful red tri named, Holly. Since then, we have been owned by numerous Australian Shepherds, all of which hold a special place in our hearts.What makes your program special?
Our dogs have beauty and brains. Since we are a very small hobby breeder, and our primary purpose in breeding is to improve our own program, each of our puppies receives the individual attention they deserve. The parents of our litters have all received appropriate health testing specific to the Australian Shepherd in addition to obtaining their AKC and/or ASCA championships.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black, red merle, blue merle, and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
