Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Lone Pine Kennel located in Redding, CA. We raise family-oriented stock dogs. Our puppies go on to be great family pets and working companions or your next show prospect. We breed both to provide families with loving and capable companions and to improve upon our dogs' fantastic traits with each generation.

Q. & A. with Katriina

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I fell in love with my herding breeds when I got my first two Cattle Dogs as hiking companions. I began to learn about both breeds natural abilities as we were getting our sheep and decided to fine tune what we like in these breeds. We raise AKC Australian Cattle Dogs and ASCA Australian Shepherds- my Aussies are primarily Working bred, from some of the first strong working lines. We love our herding dogs and strive to produce healthy and quality dogs who are biddable, confident and meet the breed standards.

  • What makes your program special?

    My foundation bloodlines were carefully researched and sought out, and thank you to some amazing breeders out there we were able to get some of the best dogs out there to start out. Health testing is important to us, and we generally have Genetic, OFA or Penhipp testing done on all of our breeding dogs.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include blue speckled, blue mottled, and blue. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Getting a puppy from Katriina

Katriina has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies.

Together, you’ll choose the puppy that’s right for you, stay in touch with regular updates, and plan how to bring your new puppy home.

Price

Puppy prices include a $500 non-refundable deposit and between $1,500 - $2,500 final payment, before taxes & fees.

“Generally all pups sold come with registration, either ASCA for our Aussies, or AKC registration for our cattle dogs. We only offer Full AKC Registration on our best pups who check all boxes around 8 weeks of age to be show and breeding quality. Limited AKC registration will be offered with our other pups who will make excellent family and working dogs. If you want to reserve a puppy before 8 weeks of age, we ask for a $500 non refundable deposit to hold that pup. If for any reason the pup buyer does not like how the pup is developing, they can cancel reservation on that pup and their deposit will roll to the next upcoming litter.”

Contract & health guarantee

Katriina may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Katriina offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don’t hesitate to reach out to Katriina directly.

Breeder-Reported Testing

Great level

Lone Pine Kennel reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Australian Cattle Dogs.

  • Hip Dysplasia

    Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.

  • Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)

    Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.

  • Congenital Deafness (BAER, registered with OFA)

    A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.

  • DNA Disease Panel, PRA, Rod-Cone Degeneration (PRA-prcd), Primary Lens Luxation (PLL)

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).

    Kate was awesome, she gave us regular puppy updates, pictures, and videos throughout the process. She offered to meet us closer, but we decided to make a road trip out of it. Our pup, formerly Theo, came with a puppy starter kit and records which included his vaccination history. He's a great doggie!

    Verified owner · Sept. 2025

    Katrina was very helpful about finding the best fit for our family. She’s very knowledgeable about Austrialian Shepherds and even gave us some basic training lessons at pick up. She was flexible with our timing for pick up as well. She gave us a welcome packet, easy records to follow, and answered any questions after we had him. Thank you Katriina!

    We are thankful to Katriina for our beautiful blue Heeler puppy ! It was a pleasure to communicate with Katriina. Very kind, very helpful, and easy to get in touch !

    Verified owner · Aug. 2025

    Katriina was so fast to respond with EVERYTHING! From initial inquiries to follow up and updating me with pictures and videos of my pup and information on his family members. I could not recommend her more to anyone looking to add a family member. When it came time to pick up she even offered to meet me halfway but my plans ended up changing and I ended up just meeting with her close to her location. My boy came with paperwork which she thoroughly explained upon pickup and a little goodie bag. I could not be happier with this entire experience.
