Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Keldrew Ranch Miniature & Toy Australian Shepherds located in Riesel, TX. We promote and breed exceptional top quality purebred AKC & ASDR Australian Shepherds in the miniature & toy range of 10 to 18 inches. We do at times have greater than 18 inches. No matter the size, our priority is a sound/even temperament, intelligence, work ability, conformation & structure.

Kelli’s experience

  • What makes Kelli’s program special

    Our dogs are raised together in a natural "pack" environment giving them a respectful hierarchy and harmony. They are very active members in our family and are part of our everyday life whether going to the office to work, camping, trail riding, fishing, running to town, or just doing the daily ranch chores.

What's included

Enrichment and socialization

Puppies are socialized immediately upon birth & treated as a part of our family. As part of their training & socialization, puppies are acclimated & exposed to many different experiences.

We continually evaluate each puppy in order to prepare them & ensure an easy transition into their new environment. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Socialized with Children, Socialized with Adult Dogs, Socialized with Other Animals, Leash Walking, Toys, e.g. Ball, Name recognition , Potty training and crate training begins around 4 to 5 weeks of age., Doggy door training , Human Interactions , Litter Box Trained, Noise desensitization, Touch Desensitization, Human contact from birth, and on daily basis, We do NOT take them out in public, they're not fully vaccinated until 16 weeks, but we do have friends and family who help with "daily playtime"., Select friends and family, household pets, television, radio, appliances, scenarios in home for confidence building. , and Outdoors (when Weather permits).
