Legends has been a breeding kennel of purebred Australian Shepherds since 1992. Our working lines are founded on proven stockdogs. We have dogs working on ranches or farms and also successfully competing in multi-trialing disciplines. With any breeding, we share with you the strengths and/or weaknesses of the parents insofar as their work ethic and capabilities. We guarantee offspring from our stockdogs to work stock. If you have a training problem, we are just a phone call or email away.
Our foundational lines are Hangin' Tree, Las Rocosa and Twin Oaks. We also have Windsong, Trueluc, Zuzax, Odyssey, Adelaide, and Spring Fever in our lines. All breeding stock is OFA'd, eye cleared, and DNA'd.
