Meet the breeder

I'm Kelsey B., the breeder behind South Dakota Creekside Australian Shepherds located in Bison, SD. We breed our Aussies to help enrich and bring joy to other peoples lives, like our dogs have done for us. Our dogs are bred for gentle temperament, healthy genetics, loyal companionship, and athletic dogs that are ready and willing to be by your side through any adventure, ride, or sitting next to you on the couch.

Q. & A. with Kelsey

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I had a strong desire to raise well-bred, well-mannered, loyal dogs in the right way with plenty of attention, love and care.

  • What makes your program special?

    Our dogs are our family; therefore they will be treated with the utmost respect in regards to breeding and raising them. We raise the puppies to be exposed to many different animals, sights, and sounds here on our ranch and they accompany us on our trips to town. We expose them to our large family to keep them well socialized. We also take them on our trips to hike in the black hills, to town for ice cream, and trips to Runnings.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include black, red merle, blue merle, and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
