Johnny & Carol T.

Breeder of Australian Shepherds

Meet the breeder

I'm Johnny & Carol T., the breeder behind Scratch & Dent Ranch located in Texas. All of our dogs are raised in our home. We want to breed the very best of the breed. It is our priority to place our pups with responsible people. Our dogs get all of our love and attention. They are treated like family. We feel so honored to share these incredible pups with others.

Q. & A. with Johnny & Carol

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We wanted to be involved with the preservation of the breed.
  • What makes your program special?

    Our animals are treated with respect and boundaries. The tail doesn’t wag the dog. We offer our dogs care and demand obedience. When we enter a venture, we study and apply principles and just generally seek the applied knowledge of those that have a good track record.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
