Breeder of Australian Shepherds

Meet the breeder

I'm Cassidy H., the breeder behind Russell Ranch Aussies located in Stayton, OR. More pictures & videos on our Face Book Page! We aim to breed exceptional puppies for others to love. We take great pride in being a trusted program with beautiful dogs! Our dogs have brought so much joy to our lives and we love sharing that with others. Each pup from Russell Ranch comes from healthy, well-rounded parents and is given lots of time to learn, play, and explore. We dearly love each and every dog and puppy we have! We are a mother/daughter duo, and love that we get to share this hobby together! Between the two of us, my daughter has a female, Aspen who has a litter just once a year, and I am located in Alsea with my 3 females, Della, Nola, and Abby. Our dogs come from Champion bloodlines, but we do not choose to show any of ours, rather use them as companions on our farm. All the puppies can be dual registered under AKC and ASCA.
