I'm SuAnne R., the breeder behind Promise Keeper Kennel located in Cape Girardeau, MO. Our goal is to ensure every dog that comes from our program is set up to live a happy and healthy life and is prepared for its future role when it leaves our care. We provide each of our pups with lots of socialization and love, and we are dedicated to maintaining responsible breeding policies.
Q. & A. with SuAnne
Why did you start breeding?
We have been raising Aussies for years and have gotten into breeding, showing conformation and training for Rally and Obedience in the last several years. We love this breed for their train-ability and devotion to the family.
What makes your program special?
We now have the time to invest in each one of our puppies to give them the absolute best beginning to their life. We raise them using the Puppy Culture method.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red merle, blue merle, black tri-color, and red tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

Parent health testing
Breeder-Reported Testing
Great level

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.
DNA Disease Panel, Multiple Drug Sensitivity (MDR1)
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).
