Diamond M Aussies

Diamond M Aussies is an Australian shepherd breeder in Bagley, IA, serving Guthrie County and central Iowa near Des Moines. Melissa Means has over fifteen years of breeding experience and follows American Kennel Club guidelines for hip and eye health screenings.

Puppies live indoors with family, gaining early exposure to household routines, children, and other pets through daily socialization. Each puppy receives basic training in crate familiarity and leash manners, preparing them for a smooth transition to new homes. Australian shepherds are known for intelligence and energy, and Melissa Means nurtures these traits through structured play and introduction to herding toys.

Adult dogs reside on a small hobby farm where they enjoy daily herding exercises, pasture time and interaction with visiting handlers. Past litters have produced companions who excel in obedience and agility events, reflecting a balanced focus on health and temperament. Owners often note ongoing guidance from Diamond M Aussies as a valuable resource for training tips and health advice throughout the dog’s life.
