Kingdom Kennels
Meet the breeder
I'm Veronica W., the breeder behind Kingdom Kennels located in Goodyear, AZ. Our dogs compete in a variety of sports: Dock diving, agility, herding, rally, flyball, and disc. Our Aussies have the abiltiy to be great, active family dogs as well as virsitile sport dogs. A puppy that is sound in mind and structure is important for this and makes up the focus of our program.
Q. & A. with Veronica
Why did you start breeding?
The Australian Shepherd found my heart in 2015 when an amazing dog showed me she could do almost anything I asked her to. The only thing she couldn't do was fly...until she flew off the dock at her first dock diving competition. That determined personality is why I said, "this is our breed".What makes your program special?
We strive to maintain the workability and soundness of mind in this breed. We start training early. Many of our puppies go home already understanding basic commands. This gives these energetic puppies a great start in their new homes. All our puppy families get a lesson when they pick up their pups that goes over the training we did with their puppy. We're here to help for the life of your puppy.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.

Gambit CGC DJ CFD, dad
Australian Shepherd
About Gambit CGC DJ CFD
Gambit is the son of our Lady Zaphira and Freestyles High Roller. He has intense play and herding drive along with high energy. He has the confidence, ambition, and desire to please that allow him to do just about anything. He is an extremely versitile dog currently enjoying dog sports such as agility, flyball, Updog, disc, dock diving, and FastCAT. He could also do herding, obedience, upland bird hunting (yeah his mom is great at it) and nosework, but we haven't gotten to those yet. At home Gambit is a loving and playful friend who especially enjoys children. He is gentle in play and will bring them a ball or frisbee and drop it at their feet. He enjoys pets and cuddles from all people. He also enjoys the company of other dogs, male or female, in tact or not. As a stud, Gambit will pass on this amazing drive and energy to his puppies for successful sport litters who will help their owners achieve their dreams. He will also pass along his confidence and easy going temperament around other animals and people.
