Meet the breeder

I'm Cassandra K., the breeder behind The K Bar Ranch located in Tahoka, TX. I have been breeding Aussies for 20+ years and am passionate about raising happy, healthy puppies for loving homes. As a breeder, I feel a sense of responsibility to prioritize the overall health and temperament of each of my puppies and ensure that they are loved and well cared for prior to joining their forever homes.

Q. & A. with Cassandra

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I love the Australian Shepherd breed. My dogs have brought me so much joy and happiness. I wanted to give back to the breed by producing the highest quality dogs and preparing them to excel in their forever homes.
  • What makes your program special?

    Our K Bar Ranch puppies are loving, loyal, and excited to meet their new families. We take pride in raising puppies that are highly intelligent and trainable. K Bar puppies love to please and can be used as working dogs, service/therapy dogs, or emotional support dogs.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our Bichon Frise puppies include white and white and buff. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
