Meet the breeder
I'm Briley K., the breeder behind Skyborne Australian Shepherds located in Woodford, VA. We focus on show and performance puppies with great temperaments and a natural off-switch. Our dogs are registered with Australian Shepherd Club of American and/or the American Kennel Club and they are health tested before any breeding takes place.
Q. & A. with Briley
Why did you start breeding?
I began breeding in 2007 with a goal in mind - I wanted to produce a versatile dog that was both a partner and a companion. Tala taught me the importance of not just being an owner, but being a team. I wanted to produce likeminded dogs that would teach their owners the same lessons that Tala taught me.What makes your program special?
Australian Shepherds are known to be a versatile dog and a great family companion. I focus on producing a dog of sound mind and body, highly intelligent, athletic and biddable - one that can be competitive in the ring during the day to being a couch potato in the evening.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 and a kennel on my property.

Kraken, dad
Australian Shepherd
About Kraken
Kraken is our class clown. He has an exuberance for life and doesn’t have a serious bone in his body which works both with and against us. I love his enthusiastic, happy-go-lucky, sun is always shining personality - he definitely knows how to make you laugh! His enthusiam for life makes him very animated which carries over in all aspects of what we do; whether that be trials, training, day to day activities and everything in between. He reminds me to always have a positive outlook in all things we do, win or lose.
Great health testing

Lyric, mom
Australian Shepherd
About Lyric
Lyric believes that she is the Queen of the house and all things we do our done for her. She is a sassy, opinionated, and at times, very stubborn dog. She is also kind hearted, empathetic, and gives you her all in all things she does. She is my first Bred By CH, has made me a better handler and has taught me many lessons. She loves Dock Diving, or anything to do with water, a good game of disc and anything that involves us doing fun activities. She loves agility, although she does wish weave poles didn’t exist. She loves to carry toys around, bark at you if you’re not doing things fast enough, and makes the best errand running and movie buddy.

Halo, mom
Australian Shepherd
About Halo
Halo is a very sweet girl with loads of personality. She loves to carry her toys around the house and always has something in her mouth! I love to tell her to 'Go get your baby' and she will run to the toy bin and select whichever toy suits her fancy at that time. She is very affectionate and gives the best cuddles. One of my favorite things about her is she has the biggest aussie grin.

Zoom, mom
Australian Shepherd
About Zoom
Zoom is a sweet, affectionate girl who loves to spend her days lounging on the couch or in bed. If she isn’t underfoot, I will always know where to find her. She is an easy dog to live with and doesn’t require much to keep her both mentally and physically happy. She makes a wonderful active pet and hiking companion. When it comes to sports, her favorite thing is FCAT! She has excellent prey drive and enjoys chasing trash bunnies. When it comes to the conformation ring, she can easily be handed off to others to show. Many professionals, owner/breeders and handlers alike, will often comment stating that she is a stunning dog with sound movement. Her biggest obstacle in the ring are her blue eyes. I always joke, telling her she’s always the bridesmaid and never the bride.

+4We are so happy to have found Briley on Good Dog. Her knowledge about the breed and her commitment to the highest standards of raising Australian Shepherds proved indispensable to my family as we searched for our forever companion. We couldn't be happier with Hollywood, our now two-year-old male Australian Shepherd. He's happy, loving, and healthy with an exceptionally social personality. Briley's responsible breeding practices ensure that her puppies have ideal temperaments, not only only for companionship but also for competition. Hollywood loves agility training. Our only regret is not starting sooner!
