Steel N Diamonds Australian Shepherds

Steel N Diamonds Australian Shepherds, Australian shepherds in Gainesville, GA, is a family-run breeding program rooted in Northeast Georgia near Atlanta. Thellman has spent years refining health-tested lines through breed club memberships, and each adult dog undergoes routine orthopedic and ophthalmologic screenings. Foundation stock traces to proven working-dog pedigrees, supporting both agility potential and steady family-friendly temperaments.

Puppies are raised inside the home with daily handling, early socialization classes, routine deworming, and veterinary oversight, including age-appropriate vaccinations. Adult dogs share the family home and have access to a secure pasture for exercise and enrichment. Training begins with gentle obedience protocols and milestone assessments to ensure each puppy meets developmental goals.

Past litters have demonstrated strong herding instincts alongside calm temperaments, reflecting balanced selection priorities. Owners often appreciate the responsive communication, comprehensive care information, and a health certificate provided after placement.
