Certified Breeder of Australian Shepherds

Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Drayton Australian Shepherds located in Florence, AZ. Our dogs are bred for health, temperament, and intelligence. We strive to produce the best overall pets and family members. We treasure each puppy in our program and give them all the attention and care that we possibly can. We work hard so our puppies can leave our home with confidence, ready to take on the world with their new family!
