What Folks Are Saying…

“We connected with RMW Ranch Australian Shepherds through Good Dog and knew right away that we were on track to get a great pup. The screening application made it clear from the start that Roxanne truly cares about her pups and does everything possible to ensure they are placed in the best homes possible. She followed up the questioner with additional specific questions to us regarding our experience, living arrangement and lifestyle to ensure we’d have a good fit with our pup. We let her know the important attributes of the pup we were looking for and had her help us to select the one that was the best fit for us.
Once we selected “Glory” Roxanne gave us ongoing updates as to her progress, temperament and interactions with her littermates. When Glory turned six weeks we took a trip to the ranch to visit her and meet Roxanne and Martin. When we arrived we were immediately impressed with the setup that they created for the pups. By watching how Roxanne handled all the pups (two litters) and the adult dogs you could see the love she has for animals. By watching how all the dogs responded to her it was apparent these dogs are surrounded in a loving and caring environment from day one.
We picked up Glory when she turned ten weeks, Roxanne did some preliminary training including potty training, although, not as much as she wanted to due to the weather at the ranch. Roxanne ensured we had all the paperwork and vet records as well as some of the food the pups have been on and also a couple of her favorite toys to keep her company on the ride home.
Glory has adjusted just fine in her new home and gets along great with her new older brother Marty (9 year old Doberman). At her first visit to our Vet he remarked several times about her solid breeding and overall excellent health. After a lengthy conversation with him about our experience he asked for RMW Ranch Australian Shepherds contact information so he could add it to his list of recommended breeders. Overall we could not have asked for a better experience and we are sure that there will be another pup from RMW Ranch Australian Shepherds headed our way in the future.”

“Roxanne was very kind and quick to respond; she kept us updated in the weeks prior to picking up our puppy and sent plenty of photos and videos along the way. The pickup process was effortless—along with our puppy—we received our paperwork and plenty of care information. Our puppy, Bailey, is a wonderful dog. We knew right away she was a healthy and happy pup. Bailey has been a welcomed addition to our family, and has quickly adapted to living with us.”

“I was lucky enough to get a puppy from Roxanne last spring. I had been researching breeders for over a year when I found RMW Ranch Aussies on Gooddog.com. I wasn't planning on getting a puppy at that time but… I visited the ranch when the puppies were 5 weeks old and looked at the 2 available puppies. Roxanne assured me that, if I wanted to compete in agility, I needed the little red tri girl. I had to think about it for a while, and I trusted Roxanne to know her dogs and puppies. I am so glad that I did!!
I got that Red tri girl in May, and she has exceeded all my expectations! She has traveled with me to agility training and trials since I got her. She is the best walking, hiking and running partner I could ask for. Her temperament is fantastic and health perfect. At 9 months, she passed both AKC canine good citizen test and advanced canine good citizen. She is currently at 10 months running both AKC and NADAC agility courses at a novice level (with low or no jumping).
I know for a fact that when it is time for another agility partner in a few years I will be back to get one from Roxanne. I adore her, her family and all her ranch pets!!”

“We feel so fortunate to have found Roxanne and RMW Ranch when we were looking to adopt an Aussie puppy. We chose a red-tri female (mother Rayne) who we’ve named Millie. We wanted to keep Millie’s tail undocked and Roxanne accommodated us, no problem. Roxanne sent daily pictures and videos until we were able to bring Millie home and it was amazing to watch her early development, from a tiny newborn with eyes closed to a brave young pup going down a slide with her siblings. We brought Millie home at 8 weeks and Roxanne had her well prepared with vaccinations and a very useful care package.
Millie has grown into sweet, beautiful dog. She loves to play with other dogs and it’s a joy to watch her run - she is the fastest dog at the park! One of Millie’s best features is her big fluffy tail. We’ve met several Aussie owners who either didn’t have this option or were refused. Thank you, Roxanne for helping us find our sweet girl!”
