The Legacy of True Working Lines: Working Aussies
At Barn Raised, our Australian Shepherds come from old working lines where instinct, grit, and intelligence were valued above all. These dogs aren’t just companions—they’re partners built for stock, for family, and for life

The Heart of a Working Aussie
Heritage & Legacy
Our Aussies trace back to the foundation lines that built this breed into the versatile working partner it’s known as today. We honor that heritage by breeding with the same priorities: instinct, intelligence, and endurance.
Instinct & Intelligence
A working Aussie isn’t a robot waiting for commands—they’re a thinker, always reading stock, their handler, and the environment. That natural ability is what makes them invaluable, whether in the pasture or the arena.
Versatility & Work Ethic
Our Aussies are bred for versatility. They can switch from calmly guiding sheep to firmly handling cattle, always smart enough to adjust their style without losing control
Temperament & Family Bond
While their instinct makes them brilliant workers, their loyalty makes them beloved family members. Our puppies are raised on the farm, with children and other animals, so they grow up confident, social, and deeply connected to people.
The Barn Raised Difference
At Barn Raised, we’re not just breeding dogs—we’re preserving a legacy. Every Aussie we raise is a reflection of our values: health, sound temperament, and the timeless instinct that sets true working dogs apart.
