I'm the breeder behind Walnut Ridge Farms Aussies located in York, SC. From our 32 acre homestead farm in upstate South Carolina these Aussies are bred for temperment, versatility in companionship, working, or show and just dang good looks. Our puppies come from health tested parents, are well socialized to people and other animals and are ready to be a part of your family. If an Aussie is right for you, check us out.

If you’re nearby, you can visit in person to pick up your pup. If you’re far away, you can travel by car or plane.
“We don't fly puppies out because of a bad experience we had flying one to us. You can pick up locally or we can meet you at the Charlotte, NC airport or within a short drive of York, SC.”
Why Brady started breeding

Walnut Ridge Farms Aussies reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Australian Shepherds.
Hip Dysplasia
Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
DNA Disease Panel, DNA Profile
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
