Wild Souls Australian Shepherds
Meet the breeder
I'm Shaula C., the breeder behind Wild Souls Australian Shepherds located in Larkspur, CO. We produce double registered AKC and ASCA litters. Sire and dam genetic testings have been done through Paw Prints Genetics, OFA hips and elbows are good for generations (no dysplasia); Eyes are certified annually. Our sire is a champion, and our dam is a ranch dog. Both sire and dam live a wonderful ranch life and are pets (they don’t live in a kennel, I share the couch with my dog). The puppies are exposed daily to kids, horses, loud noises, etc I would like for the puppies to have a quality life as pets and ranch dogs.
