Why did you start breeding?
Responsible, ethical breeders play an important role in the future of the dog ecosystem. We are guardians for the future Australian Shepherds. Our goal is to not only breed beautiful, healthy, and quality puppies, but to preserve the line and well-being of these incredible companions.
What makes your program special?
Rebel Runner is premier breeder of Australian Shepherds. We do not breed our dogs unless they are fully healthy both physically and mentally as well as are excellent representations of the breed standard. We are dedicated to always having responsible policies when it comes to breeding, socializing, and training our pups. We truly love our puppies and know you will, too! We pride ourselves on helping all of our clients find the right fit for their needs and lifestyle.
