Riley’s experience

  • About Riley

    We live in on a small farm in Idaho where the kids, dogs, and horses keep us plenty busy. We love our lifestyle and wouldn't want it any other way. We can't imagine not having our Aussies in our life they bring us so much joy.

  • What makes Riley’s program special

    We health test our dogs to make sure we are always bettering the breed. We do OFA testing on Hips and Elbows. Puppies receive ENS (Early Neurological Stimulation) from 3 days of age and are handled and cared for daily. We are have a very small breeding program that allows us to give all the attention that we need to our dogs and puppies.
