In this episode, Jacque speaks with Randy Kidd, owner of Kidd’s Australian Shepherd, about the history of Australian Shepherd, and what defines a working dog. They also discuss Australian Shepherd genetics and how it is so important when choosing a dog.

Randy Kidd grew up around working dogs. As he got older and started working in livestock, he decided it was time to get his own dogs. In 1979, Randy Kidd got his first registered Australian Shepherd and still works them to this day. He is the owner of Kidd’s Australian Shepherd.

Randy tells stories about working dogs and what a good working dog looks like and what they can do. He talks about the kind of dogs he likes and shares the history of his lines. He gives great advice on choosing pups, and getting into breeding working dogs.

Randy’s company, Kidd’s Australian Shepherd, continues to keep strong Hangin Tree and Slash V bloodlines as the principal breeding in their Aussie dogs. They believe that a powerful dog can handle all types of stock.

Randy strives to breed Aussies that are physically correct and sound, mentally strong, and dogs that are very trainable and fun to be around. The Aussies at Kidd’s Australian Shepherd meet their expectations or we will not sell them to someone else. Their dogs come with a full health guarantee and are guaranteed to want to work.
