Meet the breeder
I'm the breeder behind Aspenleiter’s Ranch Hands located in Indianola, NE. Having dogs in our lives is such a blessing. We find so much fulfillment in providing that same companionship to other homes! We give our dogs the best lives possible. We are looking for families and individuals that will provide our puppies with the same level of love and care. Whether you are a show home or a companion home are dogs would work for you!
Cidney’s experience
About Cidney
We are a small hubby breeder that has a love and passion for dogs! Growing up I could never live without my boy by my side! I have recently found a lot of joy in showing! I’m learning so much and will continue to learn! I want to spread my love and passion to anyone who wants it!
What makes Cidney’s program special
My dogs are apart of our everyday lives! We live on 600 acres. Our dogs love swimming in the creeks and going on horse rides with us! Our dogs are very rarely locked away in an outside kennel! We strive to raise healthy well bred puppies! We genetic test all of our parents and show a lot of our dogs. They make great companions or show prospects!

Puppy prices range from $1,000 - $2,500 and include a non-refundable deposit of $350.
“The price includes a guarantee, registration, vaccinations, vet checks, and a happy well socialized puppy. Sometimes we offer breeding rights to an approved home. Our deposits are non refundable but guarantee a healthy puppy. Under a strange circumstance of an injury or death, the deposit can either be returned or moved to a different puppy or litter.”

Cidney may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase.

Puppy health practices
All puppies are current on vaccinations and health checks.

More about Cidney
Why Cidney started breeding
