Meet the breeder

I'm Annette S., the breeder behind Runnin’ Wild Ranch Aussies located in Sheridan, AR. We have a love for this breed. We are dedicated to breeding top-quality puppies for loving homes. We have been breeding Australian Shepherds for 30 years. They are an excellent overall breed. We have 3 females and a male Aussie. They are all considered part of our family. All have been DNA tested and are health checked regularly. They have been raised on our family farm and our male is a working dog. We have 1 litter per year rotating our females to them only having a litter every 2-3 years.

Q. & A. with Annette

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I started breeding because of my love for the breed. Everyone who met my first Aussie would beg for a puppy from her. So I said, “Why not”! I decided to breed her 1 time. Then retired her but I got the fever to bring into homes so much love in little fur babies.
  • What makes your program special?

    My breeding program is special because I do it because of the love it brings to people. I only have 3 females and I only breed them every 3 years. They have 2 litters and then they are retired.
  • 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.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    They have a high quality breed that highlights all of the best qualities of this breed. There was great communication and Annette helped answer all of my questions and even took extra time to give me peace of mind at the exchange meeting. This by far, the most intelligent, well tempered, and sweetest puppy I've ever owned. Will definitely prioritize getting another aussie in the near future from her!

    We had a great experience with Annette from start to finish. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and took the time to answer all of our questions throughout the process. Banks came home healthy, well-socialized, and has been such a wonderful addition to our family. It was clear that Annette genuinely cares about her dogs and wants them to go to good homes. The entire adoption process was smooth, and she kept us updated along the way. I would absolutely recommend Annette to anyone looking for a happy, healthy puppy.

    I looked long and hard to find a breeder that not only had the puppy I wanted, but also valued ethical breeding & raising Aussies the right way. Once I came across RWR Aussies and spoke with Annette, I knew this was where I wanted to get my new family member from. She was incessantly helpful and answered all of my questions (I had a lot, haha); she even answers my calls/texts to this day when I have questions about Zola. Not to mention her pups are the SMARTEST!!!! Zola has only been home for 5 days and she already knows sit, down, stay, crate, and her way home. My gratitude for Annette and RWR Aussies is endless, and I’d recommend them to anyone looking for an Australian Shepherd to welcome into their home!

    Annette was wonderful to work with! She was extremely attentive and communicative during the entire process, sharing regular updates and photos. I greatly appreciated all the information/goodies she provided at pickup as well. My new baby is already so loved and you can tell he was well taken care of beforehand also. Thank you again, Annette, for a great experience!
