Are you looking for the Ultimate in the Complete Aussie? We are excited to share a unique kennel experience in offering you access to the right temperament companion for your specific job or setting because of our wide variety of lines.
Boyd Ranch Aussie’s and Desert Willow Aussie's have partnered to produce and bring out the BEST in the Australian Shepherd breed. With our desire being health, longevity, temperament and Education to you first (of course they are beautiful too) we strive to breed the right lines together for the awesome Ultimate Aussie!
We have Conformation Lines that are the right temperament for a family and perfect to place into the arms of Children who desire to show in 4H Conformation and Obedience. This would give them a wonderful experience in the "Junior Handling World". Our dogs are gorgeous and well bred to be gentle in spirit - perfect for anyone interested Agility or Obedience. Our dogs are already socialized to Adult Dogs, Cats & Children! Our Aussie's are wonderful in all social areas because of our focused "Socialization Process".
We have Agility & Flyball Champions that have the ambition and drive to enjoy "you" while enjoying these events and are among the fastest Aussie's on record! These dogs have unbelievable stamina and strength along with deep loyalty to their Human. They also love the Frisbee events and want to win to please you and enjoy time beside their favorite human.
We have access to many of the Famous HERDING lines as we partner with Boyd Ranch. These dogs have an OFF switch with incredible drive and are living in a true Herding and Ranch environment on 25,000 acres. Boyd Ranch Aussie's are working everyday beside Curt & Susan on Boyd Ranch. They are experiencing firsthand the awesome attributes of their dogs and the keen ability to focus on a task and the tenacity it takes to finish a long cattle drive. Training and guidance allows them to be an asset in their working ranch life making “a hard day’s work a little bit easier!" We've placed many of these dogs with ranchers who are astounded by the intelligence and the natural instinct of these dogs. They are naturally drawn to cattle, sheep and horses, and have been trained to load sheep and cattle into trailers. To gather cattle & sheep is easy for them because of their strong natural instincts and physical ability, using problem solving abilities unique to this breed. They are in a class all of their own!

We also have a specific line that has produced wonderful Service and Seeing Impaired Dogs that are currently in service! This line is perfect for families with children and conducive to a busy life because they are those "mid-line" temperaments that are best suited for these types of settings. But make no mistake about it, they are still Aussie's!
Australian Shepherds have become the dog of choice in Search and Rescue because of their deep loyalty and relationship with their Human. They are easily trained and long to please which drives this awesome breed to excel in Service. Due to their balanced drive and intelligence they find their true enjoyment working beside and for their Human. We are excited to have many of our Aussie's training and working in this arena.
Remember, all our Australian Shepherd's have beautiful structure, high intelligence and natural instincts bred properly to allow these dogs to perform the way God intended. Even with so many champion lines throughout our pedigrees, our Focus is breeding properly for HEALTH, LONGEVITY, TEMPERAMENT and EDUCATION for you first! Our goal is for our dogs to be a lifelong family friend and prefer them to go home on spay and neuter contract.

Testimonial: We purchased a puppy from Desert Willow Aussie's and Boyd Ranch Aussie's in March 2010 and have had a rewarding experience working with Theresa and Susan. They have been pleasant and helpful from the first day we met. Their research in the nutrition field is extensive and we trust their feeding protocol implicitly. We have been so pleased with our puppy and have completed puppy class and intend to go on to intermediate and advanced classes. These dogs are so intelligent you have to work hard to stay ahead of them. We feel the training classes are more for the owners than the dogs.If we were to purchase another Aussie, it would definitely be from these breeders. Joan and Chip Farley - Santa Fe, New Mexico
