At Third Sun Australian Shepherds, our goal is for you to bring home a companion of exceptional substance and style. We stand firmly behind the health and genetics of every puppy we raise, sparing no effort when it comes to their early development. Every dog in our program is provided with top-tier veterinary care, premium nutrition, and an environment rooted in movement and purpose. We strive to be intentional, high-integrity breeders, ensuring you have a supportive experience from the moment we first connect, through your puppy's birth, and for the entire lifetime of your Third Sun family member.
Located in Central Wisconsin, our dogs live as members of our family first. We are a small, hobby breeder where our dogs enjoy life in our home and on our farm. Our puppies are raised underfoot, and because we believe early development is the foundation of a great dog, we implement Puppy Culture, ENS, and ESI starting from day one. By the time they join your family, they have been carefully guided through curated socialization designed to build confidence and resilience. Welcome to our program—we invite you to see the difference that an intentional, hands-on start makes.
