I'm Gayle H., the breeder behind Ripple Creek located in Eufaula, OK. My priority is quality over quantity and my puppies are placed in loving homes that I have reviewed carefully. I breed based upon pedigree, structure, and curiosities that nurture drive and obedience. My puppies are lovingly raised in my home as part of my family so that I can prepare them to be excellent additions to yours. I love my Aussies!

I love what I do and truly want the very best for my puppies and their forever families!
