Kimberly Mead

Kimberly Mead breeds Australian shepherds in Pauma Valley, CA, in Southern California near San Diego. With several years of experience, she is a member of the American Kennel Club and follows recommended health testing for hips, eyes and genetic conditions. Her kennels meet or exceed guidelines for space and comfort, and puppies begin basic obedience and agility exercises to support their mental and physical development.

Her dogs enjoy a family-oriented environment with early socialization on spacious pastureland and supervised outings. The operation is based on a family-owned ranch with roots in the community, emphasizing sound herding instincts and versatile temperaments. Puppies are weaned on a balanced diet formulated for growth before joining their new families. She maintains regular check-ins and shares resources to support puppies and their families after placement.

Owners often note the steady nature and eagerness to learn that come through in each litter.
