Meet the breeder

I'm Alicia L., the breeder behind Happy Valley Farms located in Elkton, KY. We are lifelong dog enthusiasts, and we’re excited to share our passion and purpose with others through our breeding program. We do our best to breed with total care by primarily focusing on raising healthy, affectionate, and loyal companions. As a result of our efforts, we’re positive our puppies will become perfect family members and add just as much joy to your life as they have ours!

Q. & A. with Alicia

Why did you start breeding?
My daughter Caitlin (brown dress in pic) actually started the business when seeking direction for a career after highschool. She couldn't decide what direction to go and I encouraged her to choose something she was passionate about. Being a lover of large dogs since she was small, thus our breeding program was born.
What makes your program special?
Caitlin married and moved to AZ this year so I have taken over the program. I've considerably downsized but will still continue to bring you the great quality of dogs and customer service you've always appreciated through Caitlin!
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Australian Shepherd 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.
