Table Rock Australian Shepherds and Boarding Kennels has been breeding beautiful AKC Australian Shepherd puppies in the shadow of Lower Table Rock for 5 years. All puppies are cleared by parentage through the Australian Shepherd genetic panel. These puppies are beautiful, healthy, and ready to live a long life in their new homes.
Mike Gates started his passion for Australian Shepherds 12 years ago when his daughter fell in love with one and they brought Ozzy home. What started as a family pet soon morphed into a new way of life when the family decided to have puppies. After that first litter, the passion took hold, and Mike purchased his first high quality AKC breeding pair. Today Mike has 4 breeding fathers and 9 mothers, and the results are as varied as the Australian shepherd gets. Each fall Mike’s breeding parents produce about 25 red tris, black tris, red merles, and blue merles. He has placed more than 150 puppies in homes around the country, including to satisfied clients returning to add a second puppy years later.
