Sterling Valley Goldens & Aussies

Sterling Valley Goldens & Aussies, run by Melinda Stanford, raises golden retrievers and Australian shepherds in Westfield, Indiana, north of Indianapolis on the edge of Hamilton County.

The program's stated focus is on producing puppies that are both healthy and well-socialized, with breed-standard conformation as a guiding priority. Health clearances are a cornerstone of the breeding decisions, including OFA hip evaluations. Australian shepherd dogs in the program have been tested for genetic conditions relevant to the breed, such as MDR1, Collie Eye Anomaly, Cone Degeneration, Degenerative Myelopathy, and Multifocal Retinopathy. At least one Australian shepherd in the program carries triple registration with the AKC, ASCA, and UKC, reflecting an interest in multi-registry standing.

Some dogs in the program trace to champion show lines, including dogs bred at established kennels in the region. Families looking for golden retriever or Australian shepherd puppies in Indiana will find a program that places clear weight on genetic health screening alongside temperament and structure.
