Wandering Acres Ranch

Wandering Acres Ranch, Australian shepherds, Mount Vernon, WA, lies in Skagit County and the Puget Sound near Seattle. Amanda Kirk has bred Australian shepherds at Wandering Acres Ranch for over a decade and maintains membership in the Australian Shepherd Club of America. All adult dogs undergo hip evaluations, annual eye exams and genetic screening to support responsible breeding.

Puppies live in a home environment where they interact daily with family members, farm animals and visiting trainers. The ranch’s pastureland and indoor play areas offer space for early exercise and mental enrichment.

Litter sizes are kept small to ensure individual care, and basic socialization starts within the first two weeks of life. Prospective owners often observe feeding routines and puppy play sessions to gain insight into the dogs’ early development. Many graduates pursue success in obedience competitions and agility trials, reflecting a temperament shaped by consistent training and attention.
