Meet the breeder

I'm Samantha R., the breeder behind Reeds Ranch located in San Tan Valley, AZ. We are conscientious in our breeding practices, and we breed for health, temperament, drive, and ability. We want our dogs to be biddable and able to succeed wherever they are needed, as well as to thrive in their homes with their families.

Q. & A. with Samantha

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My journey into breeding Australian Shepherds began with one simple truth. I fell in love with the breed. Their intelligence, loyalty, and boundless energy immediately drew me in, but it was their heart that kept me hooked. Once I experienced that connection firsthand, I knew I wanted to share it with others. Every litter I raise is planned with care and purpose.
  • What makes your program special?

    For me, breeding Australian Shepherds isn’t a business, it’s a passion. I believe in quality over quantity, in transparency with owners, and in lifelong support for every puppy that leaves my home. They do noise exposure therapy, lots of socialization, and different environments. I put my heart and soul into ensuring that every puppy is confident, healthy, and ready for their forever family.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include red & white, black & white, red merle, blue merle, black tri-color, and red tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Samantha was super helpful giving tips and advice. Charlie is such a sweet puppy and I have loved getting to know her and bond with her. Samantha is open to responding to my questions and concerns via texts or calls. I appreciate all the support. Wonderful ranch and puppies.

    Samantha was wonderful to work with. Advised me of some extra fees that Good Dog charges prior to deposit. She sent pictures of the progress of my puppy at least a couple times a week. And spoke with her also. She even did a DNA test I sent her prior to picking up my pup. Very pleased with her and my puppy, Pepper. Pepper is a really good dog and easy to train, slept all night since I got her.

    Samantha has been amazing! From the beginning she responded immediately, she was so caring and informative. My daughter’s 11 year old Maltese had just passed away so this decision was a delicate one for us and Samantha was so caring and answered all our questions. We received frequent updates, pictures and videos as we waited to meet Willow Jade. The day finally came when we got to meet our precious girl and bring her home, the transition was perfect, because Samantha truly puts her heart into her pups, she sent us home with a personalized bag, with medical records, puppy food, teething toy, poopy bags and a blankie with mama’s scent, how sweet is that. And we couldn’t have asked for a sweeter and loving girl, she’s even potty trained, for being so young she is so well behaved! Thank you Reeds Ranch for our precious Willow, you made us feel like family and we will forever be grateful!

    Samantha could not have been better! We picked our pup when she was only a few days old and Samantha made sure to call our girl by the name we chose, so she already knew her name. She made sure we got constant photos and exciting updates the entire time we waited for her to come home. I was so impressed with how well-adjusted our sweet girl was when she finally came home. In one week she’s only had 2 small potty accidents and she already rings the bell to go outside. She’s not afraid of the vacuum or loud noises, and she started sleeping through the night after only a few days. I credit Samantha and the thoughtful ways she preps her pups for their forever homes. When we picked our girl up, she came with a cute personalized goodie bag which was the frosting on the cake. I highly recommend Reeds Ranch if you’re looking for the best puppy experience!

    We adopted a puppy for the first time from Reeds Ranch. Samantha was amazing. We were impressed by her prompt replies to our questions, her knowledge of the Australian Shepherd breed and her genuine love for her dogs. We had an issue with our payment but Samantha was patient and understanding as we worked it out.
