Knockout Kennels

Knockout Kennels, Miniature American shepherds in Gridley, CA, sits in Butte County and the Sacramento Valley near Sacramento. Founded over a decade ago by Matt Reed, the kennel follows regular health testing protocols for hips, eyes and genetic markers.

Each puppy grows up in a family setting with daily handling and early socialization on five acres of fenced pasture. The dogs enjoy indoor time in a climate-controlled barn and outdoor play in shaded runs under close supervision. Knockout Kennels focuses on temperament and trainability, and several litters have gone on to earn rally titles through local clubs.

Matt has a background in agriculture and raises puppies alongside goats and sheep, giving them broad exposure to farm life. A balanced diet of premium kibble and fresh produce helps support their active lifestyles year round. Puppies leave for their new homes with a veterinary exam and a full written health guarantee.
