ABOUT NK RANCH AUSSIES
Hello! We're Nathan and Kaylani Judkins, the N and K behind NK Ranch. We live on a small hobby farm in Tremonton, Utah.
A little background about us: Prior to having kids, we both went through schooling to become Veterinary Assistants, and worked at some fantastic Veterinary clinics and Hospitals. Kaylani worked with small animals, and Nate worked in the Equine field. We both have a great love and respect for animals.
When we first got married and wanted to get a dog of our own, the Australian Shepherd was on the top of both our lists. We absolutely love their versatility, intelligence, and beauty. We had to have this breed in our lives. Looking into breeders and seeing how they raised their puppies, and how much genetics played in health and temperament, we became interested in the dog breeder side of it all. We both loved practicing animal health and care as VA's, and we wanted to continue this while being able to stick close to home and raise a family, so raising dogs became our answer.
We've now had our Australian Shepherd breeding program since 2019, and work towards progression in this breed year by year. Responsible breeding is our goal through preserving and improving this amazing breed!
WE MAKE RAISING DOGS
A FAMILY MATTER
Our Aussies are our family, and we raise them along side our children. We want to instill the love and passion we have for dogs in our children, so we involve them in everything we do which includes training, cleaning, and feeding our Aussies! We also include all of our adult dogs and puppies in our day to day activites, socializing them to the many different aspects of life with people!
GIVING BACK
Operation Underground Railroad
NK Ranch believes deeply in the freedom of all people, and we stand against child and human trafficking. When we first started NK Ranch we knew we wanted to give back and support an organization that did good in the world. Operation Underground Railroad (O.U.R) is an organization that fights against trafficking, saving hundreds of children's lives from slavery.
This is a cause that is set deep in our hearts, because every child deserves to grow up safe, protected, and happy. With every puppy born at NK Ranch, we donate a percentage to O.U.R. in hopes that we can play a small part in getting these kids back to safety. It's also a reminder to us that each of our puppies lives can be a representation of a child's life renewed.
