We had a wonderful experience working with Alyssa! From the very beginning, she was an excellent communicator—quick to respond, informative, and always happy to answer our questions. She welcomed us to visit the puppies in person, which gave us so much confidence in her care and environment. When it was time to bring our puppy home, she sent us off with a fantastic care package and complete vet records, which made the transition smooth and stress-free. It’s clear Alyssa truly cares about her dogs and the families they go to. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, thoughtful breeder.

+8Alyssa was so responsive and really cared about her puppies and trusted me with one of her amazing pups she gave me updates every week on my Harley girl.

We had a great experience with Alyssa of Little Elder Creek Australian Shepherds. She was very professional and communicated with me frequently about the puppy we were purchasing. She was quick to respond to questions I had regarding our puppy, providing recommendations and advice. Now that our puppy Copper is home with us we couldn’t be happier. We are so impressed by how quickly he is settling into his new environment and learning commands. He is also doing so well with potty training. My family and I feel like we got the perfect dog for us. In the future when looking for an Australian Shepherd we will definitely choose Little Elder Creek.
