Canyon Ridge Australian Shepherds, LLC

Canyon Ridge Australian Shepherds, LLC raises Australian shepherds in San Diego, California, in the greater Southern California region near San Diego International Airport. Donna Hooyen founded the program around 2020, when she brought home her first breeding dog, Poppy, and whelped her first litter in January 2021.

The program is registered with both the American Kennel Club and the Australian Shepherd Club of America, and health testing follows OFA protocols alongside genetic screening. Donna incorporates the Puppy Culture framework into her raising process, using it to guide early neurological stimulation and structured socialization from the first weeks of life. Family members, including grandchildren, are involved in socializing each litter.

Canyon Ridge also participates in AKC and ASCA conformation, with dogs in the program carrying points in both venues. For those searching for Australian shepherd puppies in California from a show-aware, health-tested program, this San Diego operation reflects a hands-on approach where breeding and puppy rearing have become a full-time focus for Hooyen rather than a sideline pursuit.
