Australian Shepherd breeders in New Jersey

Finding a responsible Australian Shepherd breeder in New Jersey

A versatile, intelligent herding breed developed in the western United States despite its name, prized on ranches for its work ethic.

When comparing Australian Shepherd breeders, ask how young animals are raised, which health checks are performed on the parents, and what veterinary, vaccination, registration, and return-policy documentation comes with each animal. A responsible breeder should welcome questions, explain their breeding goals clearly, and allow you to meet the animal and its parent where practical.

Questions to ask a Australian Shepherd breeder

• Which breed-appropriate health screenings have the parents completed?
• Can I see veterinary records and meet the parents in person or by live video?
• How are young animals of this breed socialized before going to new homes?
• What support and return policy do you provide after placement?
