Meet the breeder

I'm Hilary J., the breeder behind Holy Ghost Ranch, Inc located in Taylor, AZ. While our goal is to share loving puppies with families, we are still a selective program. We only breed when we’re sure we can produce the healthiest and best example of the breed possible. Our dogs produce beautiful and healthy toy and mini Reg ASDR pups in all colors. Holy Ghost Ranch, Inc is a 501 c3 non profit equine rescue and sanctuary. Your purchase of one of our pups is a tax donation to help feed the rescue horses of HGR.

    Hilary was great to work with and really takes pride in their animals. I appreciated seeing their ranch and horse rescue. I hope they are still offering when we're ready for our next puppy! We love our little munchkin and couldn't be happier. I received a folder with tips and forms which was really nice since he's my first puppy.

    Hilary was very helpful throughout our purchasing our pup from Holy Ghost Ranch. We picked up our pup on site which is a dog breeding facility run from inside their home, as well as a multi acre horse rescue outside. Every aspect of the ranch appears well thought out and very well kept. Hilary is very knowledgeable about all aspects of dog breeding, puppy care, and what she feels make a healthy, happy dog. I saw her results in the friendly large pack that poured out of their home to greet us. The puppy we brought home was 9 weeks. She slept through her first night, peed on pads in our house, and we’re having mixed success with pooping. But she appears do love us a bunch and she is so fun to play with and snuggle. Thank you HGR for our little dream dog! Sharon and John

    We couldn’t be happier. Evan is in love with his puppy and they are quite a team. Hillary made this life time friendship possible. Ollie is happy and healthy and such a smart boy. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience from start to finish. I recommend Holy Ghost Ranch and Hillary to anyone looking for an Ausie pup.

    It was a pleasure meeting her and her husband, Mac. The helped us by getting ready for Ronnie’s long ride home to Tucson. They gave us a towel and doggy pads which we hadn’t brought and fed her a light breakfast for the trip. She never once got sick and slept most of the way home. I’d recommend getting a dog from Hilary and Mac. They’re the best!!

    This one of the best experiences I have ever had with a breeder. Hilary is very responsive and will answer any questions you have. Our family drove 3 hours in one direction to pick up our beautiful puppy. The best part is that she truly has all her animals in a very loving environment. Extremely well behaved and friendly. Hilary truly treats the puppies as family. I cannot say how thankful I am to her and what’s even better is that the fee for the puppy goes to her horse rehabilitation. If you are looking for a well behaved and loveable family member she is the one stop place to go. I cannot say enough kind words .
