Topeka Australian Shepherds

Welcome to Topeka Australian Shepherds online.

I am a small kennel who is striving to breed quality Australian Shepherds that conform to the breed standard of the Australian Shepherd Club of America.

Fit for Function

I have owned and lived with Australian Shepherds for over 15 years. In 1998 my friend Linda Whyman (Remuda) and myself jointly financed to bring a new bloodline into the UK. Please see Grit on her own page as the foundation of Topeka.
We occasionally breed for progression of our kennel however if you are interested in a puppy from these wonderful working blood lines then you are welcome to contact me.

Enjoy your visit,

Sue Beavers

Statement re so called Miniature Australian Shepherds

So called *Miniature Australian Shepherds* have been imported into the country. ASCA the original parent club of the Australian Shepherd and the largest single breed registry in the world and USASA (The American Kennel Club registered parent club) does *not recognise* these. The Australian Shepherd does *NOT* have VARIETIES. These *should* not be registered as Australian Shepherds with the K.C. either on the breed register or the activity / working register because they are NOT Australian Shepherds and do NOT hold Australian Shepherd registration papers with either the AKC or ASCA
Under no circumstances will any dog owned, co-owned or bred by Topeka Australian Shepherds be sold for use in a so called miniature breeding program as we firmly believe these breeds to be two separate, individual breeds and do not advocate cross breeding.
