Beginning Your Coyote Creek Journey
Interested in welcoming a Coyote Creek puppy into your family?
The first step is completing our Puppy Questionnaire.
This helps us learn more about you, your lifestyle, and what you are looking for in a companion. Taking the time to understand each family helps us make thoughtful matches and ensures our puppies are placed in homes where they can truly thrive.
Once your questionnaire has been submitted, a member of our Coyote Creek family will review your information and be in touch as soon as possible.
We kindly ask all families to read through our Puppy Contract prior to submitting an application.
Every Coyote Creek puppy is placed with a contract, without exception. This contract exists to protect the puppy, the family, and the lifelong commitment we share to every dog we bring into the world.
Follow Along With Coyote Creek
We love sharing the journey of our puppies as they grow.
For the most frequent updates, videos, and behind-the-scenes moments, we invite you to follow along on our Facebook page-- Coyote Creek.
While Facebook guidelines prevent us from advertising available puppies directly on our page, it remains one of the best places to see our dogs, puppies, and daily life at Coyote Creek.
Welcome Back, Coyote Creek Families
Our relationship does not end when a puppy goes home.
Families who welcome another Coyote Creek puppy into their lives are part of a very special alumni group, and we are grateful for the opportunity to continue that journey together.
As a thank you, repeat Coyote Creek families receive a $200 discount on any future available puppy.

Bringing home your coyote creek puppy
A Lifetime Companion Begins With A Thoughtful Beginning
At Coyote Creek, we believe bringing a puppy into your life is a commitment that begins long before the day they come home. Every puppy we raise receives intentional care, thoughtful development, and a strong foundation designed to help them become confident, healthy, well-adjusted companions.
Our goal is simple: To bring dogs into the world responsibly, prepare them thoughtfully, place them carefully, and continue caring about them for life.
The Coyote Creek Foundation
Before a puppy is ever born, careful decisions are made about the dogs who will become their parents.
Our breeding program focuses on preserving the qualities we love about the Australian Shepherd while prioritizing health, temperament, structure, and the ability to thrive as beloved companions.
Our dogs are:
-
Registered through ASDR, with some also dual registered through AKC
-
Genetically tested through Orivet Genetic Pet Care with the full Australian Shepherd genetic panel
-
Being evaluated through the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA), including hips, elbows, and patellas
Health testing is one part of responsible breeding, but we believe a truly exceptional companion is created through the combination of health, temperament, and thoughtful raising.
Raised As Family
Our dogs do not live outside in kennels. They live in our home, underfoot, as part of our everyday lives. They share our routines, our adventures, our quiet moments, and our family. Some of our dogs enjoy helping around the farm, while many come from lines selected primarily for companionship.
We value the versatility of the Australian Shepherd and strive to produce dogs who can enjoy an adventure with their family and then happily settle in at home. We like to describe their energy as: “On demand.”
-
They are ready when you are.
-
Hiking? Absolutely.
-
Learning something new? They’re eager.
-
Family adventures? They’re there.
-
Netflix and chill? They’re experts.
A well-raised Australian Shepherd is an incredible balance of intelligence, loyalty, affection, and companionship.
