Shasta Holistic Puppy Ranch
A non-profit approach to raising the healthiest puppies possible. Raw-fed, naturally bred, chemical-free mini Aussie and Mini Aussie/Sheepadoodle puppies in Redding, CA. These puppies are raised in a home and given holistic parasite and disease prevention, continuous enrichment and potty training on wood chips in litter boxes, then outside from their crates. We aim for our puppies to have a smooth transition to your home and family.
Our Why
Dogs have a unique relationship with us that goes back thousands of years. There is no other relationship we have quite like the one with dogs. In honor of this sacred pairing, we endeavor to bring forth puppies with the best possible start in life.
Puppy Training
Puppies are conditioned right away not to bite, to sit nicely and potty in wood chip litter boxes.
Enrichment
Puppies are given new challenges and exposure every week to get used to many experiences and environments.
Raw Diets
Grass-fed beef from Bradley and Sons in Durham, CA, quail from our ranch, heritage pork from Red Gate Ranch in Red Bluff, CA, and Answers detailed beef formula and more.
Raw Meaty Bones
Puppies have developing jaws and teeth and need to chew! We offer raw meaty bones every single day so they can get their gnaw on.
Holistic parasite and disease prevention
We use all natural, homeopathic, herbal and nutritional methods of keeping parasites at bay and preventing Parvo and Distemper.
Crates and Pens
Puppies are penned inside and outside with several areas in and around the home to play and sleep. They transition to crates at 10 weeks.
Special Needs, Vets and Elders
We offer older, more well-trained and special temperament puppies to those that want a dog but would find it very difficult to take on the exuberance and care necessary to train a puppy. These special dogs are reserved for these folks and we take pride in being here to continue to support our special owners.
Trained Puppies
These sweet loves have been with us longer and have had more training and conditioning. This makes them further along in their puppy journey and ideal for seniors, special needs and families with young kids. Dati and Cash produced an array of mini Aussie traits, doodles and a mix of both in their puppies expression of physical traits.

Biggest boi, he is nearly twice Mikey size. He has the same look and fur as the previous litter so he got more of the sheepadoodle as far as physical characteristics. He’s a big squish man and wants to be close to you.
