Timeless Paths Australian Shepherds
Meet the breeder
I'm Alissa K., the breeder behind Timeless Paths Australian Shepherds located in Suffolk, VA. We are located in South Eastern Virginia and are a military family who fell in love with the breed in 2016 when choosing our first family dog to raise with our son. We bring each of our dogs and litters up as beloved family pets. Each puppy placed from our home to yours will have been raised under the Puppy Culture and Early Scent Introduction (ESI) programs, and socialized daily with our five children and all animals on our farm. It is our dedication to better the breed with quality, healthy, smart and loving dogs. We wouldn’t want anything less for you than we’d place in our own home which is why all of our parents are carefully picked from exceptional lines that are genetic and OFA tested, as well as ASCA and AKC registered.
