Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Akins Aussies located in Redwood Valley, CA. We love to responsibly raise and train our puppies so they have the tools to be well-rounded, beloved family members. We started breeding with the simple mission to breed the very best dogs that we can, to raise them with love, and to find them the perfect future homes.
