Welcome

Glenlake Australian Shepherds is a small, family-owned kennel located in Shelbyville, Kentucky.  Our goal is to produce purpose-bred dogs that conform to AKC and ASCA breed standards.  Each of our breedings are carefully and thoughtfully planned, and above all else, we prioritize health and temperament.  With this in mind, we perform extensive health screening on every dog in our breeding program.  These health tests include hip and elbow radiographs sent to OFA, annual CERF examinations by a veterinary ophthalmologist, and a full DNA panel specific to Australian Shepherds. This DNA panel tests for genetic conditions common in our breed such as CEA, DM, HSF4, MDR1, PRA, PRCD, and more.

​

We have been owned by Australian Shepherds since 1995 and hold memberships with the United States Australian Shepherd Association, Australian Shepherd Club of America, Smoky Mountain Australian Shepherd Club, and Old Fashioned Kentucky Australian Shepherd Club.  Our mantra is "quality over quantity," and we hope this is evident as you explore our website and get to know us more! We look forward to speaking with you.
