I'm the breeder behind Davis Creek Kennel located in Higginsville, MO. All of our dogs undergo genetic testing. Before breeding, results are compared with potential suitors to ensure the best pups possible. We provide in-home socialization with people of all ages and sizes to help with a comfortable transition while maintaining a safe and healthy environment. We love our dogs and are excited to share them with people that love them as much as we do!
About Erin
Our life revolves around our dogs and meeting their needs both socially and medically. We strive to bring you the healthiest, most well-rounded puppies. We focus on quality and excellence with everything that we do. Holding ourselves to high standards is paramount to the well-being of our dogs and to the integrity of our program.
What makes Erin’s program special
Our dogs are an integral part of our family and daily life. This creates the ideal environment for puppies. From birth, they grow in a secure, loving environment where they know that they matter to their family -- that they have a purpose. It would be our pleasure to introduce you to your next Australian Shepherd puppy!
Erin has been certified by Good Dog's screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you're ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies. You'll also have the chance to share a bit about yourself and what you're looking for in a new companion. Together, you'll choose the puppy that's right for you, stay in touch with regular updates, and plan how to bring your new puppy home.
Puppy prices range from $1,000 - $3,500 and include a non-refundable deposit of $400.
“The price also includes a new family care package, up-to-date shots, and dewormer. We also microchip all puppies and cover all associated registration fees. Our prices vary based on sex and coat color. Deposit secure puppy picks based on availability. Our contract will provide more information. The deposit is also considered in the actual puppy price.”
Erin 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. If Erin offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don’t hesitate to reach out to Erin directly.
Our puppies are socialized with children and adults and provided interaction with other dogs after appropriate vaccinations. All pups get daily outdoor playtime (weather permitting) and are potty training as soon as 6 weeks of age. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Crate Training, Initial House Training, Sound Stimulation, Various Surfaces, Various People, Household Desensitization, and Socialized with Adult Dogs.
Puppies are vet checked at 6 weeks, up-to-date on vaccinations and deworming. Tails and dewclaws are removed—genetic testing results provided upon request.
We send our puppies home with Puppy Collar, Certificate of Health, Food Starter Bag, Toy with Littermates' Scent, Blanket with Littermates' and Mom's scents, Microchipped , and Crate.

We take pride in what we do, and we treat our dogs like family. It's an amazing feeling knowing that we made a positive contribution to these dogs and the families who love them!
