Meet the breeder

I'm Whitney H., the breeder behind Grand Ridge Australian Shepherds located in Fort Wayne, IN. We breed AKC/ASCA Australian Shepherds. We are a small breeder and strive to produce happy, healthy, and well-socialized pups. Please Note! We do NOT sell to those who live in an apartment.

Q. & A. with Whitney

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I bought my first female a few years ago. We weren't planning on breeding her, but because Aussies are like chips, you can't have just one. We soon got our male. The rest is history!
  • What makes your program special?

    We raise pups that are show potential, calm, but ready to play. Health tested parents. A contract that not only protects us but the buyer as well. We take back any pup of ours, any age. You will never find one of our pups in a shelter!
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
