The Diamond B Ranch consists of 70 acres of lush Bermuda grass pastures
We are situated between the Red River and Lake Murray.
Not only do we raise Golden Retrievers and Australian Shepherds, but also Brangus cattle, drafts and half draft horses.
Our dogs are a part of our small family, and they really enjoy living the ranch life! They love racing against the side by side, chasing cattle and chickens, and they will happily swim in our large pond for hours.
My love for Australian Shepherds began in 2007
I had been saving up my pet sitting money to buy my first Aussie puppy. I found a breeder an hour away and went to look at his available litter. I loved the merle pups, but I certainly couldn’t afford one at that time! I ended up choosing the “clearance puppy,” which was a little black tri female with a huge personality. I named her Sasha, and we were inseparable.
That girl was the most intelligent dog I had ever met. She learned every trick in the book, loved agility, adored going to children’s playgrounds so she could run up the stairs, across bridges and down the slides all by herself. She even taught herself how to stand up on her hind legs at the water fountain and push the button to get a drink. Sasha was also a social butterfly and was constantly making new friends.
Sasha introduced me to Golden Retrievers
She’s the one who really introduced me to one of my good [human] friends who just so happened to have the sweetest Golden Retriever named Chester. He was the most gentle, affectionate boy with an old soul who loved everyone, and was a real looker with his glossy red coat. Chester wasn't my dog, but he made me fall in love with the Golden Retriever.
I decided to breed Sasha
In 2009, I decided to breed Sasha before I had her spayed. She ended up having a litter of eight on January 4, 2010. There was one pup in particular that I was drawn to immediately. He was a big blue merle with a long tail, and I knew I was going to keep him. I named him Rooster, and we had a connection that is impossible to explain. He never left my side, he slept on my feet every night, he got me through college, he was there when I got engaged and married, and when we moved into our first house. He was the light of my life and completed our little family of three.
This was the moment that I decided to get back into breeding
When Rooster passed away from cancer in 2020, I was completely shattered. It was at that moment that I decided to get back into breeding because I firmly believe that everyone should get to experience that type of unconditional love and steadfast bond with a dog. I consider myself very fortunate to be able to help families find their own “Rooster”, “Sasha” and “Chester”.
We started building our kennel in the Fall of 2021
As our breeding operation has grown, we quickly realized that our house would not be able to comfortably house all our dogs and our litters. We started building our kennel in the fall of 2021. It is a climate controlled building with individual pens for each dog with indoor/outdoor access at all times. Although they typically spend a majority of their time inside our home and under our feet! We have a couple whelping rooms with floor drains to help keep the puppy areas clean and a special meet and greet room for customers to play with their puppies.
We take pride in how our dogs and puppies are raised
We strive to produce beautiful, happy, healthy and quality puppies for families. Our puppies are handled daily, exposed to livestock, they get to interact with other members of our pack and each one will come pre-loved.
