Breeder of Australian Shepherds

Meet the breeder

I'm Kayla S., the breeder behind McDonald Farm's Australian Shepherds located in Fulton, NY. We believe that creating quality AKC breed standard Australian Shepherds is important. We limit the amount of litters to focus on that. We thoroughly enjoy everything about Aussies. They make the best companion, working dog, show dogs and family pet.
