Echo, the owner of grazing h ranch breeds mini and toy australian puppies as well as corgi's. I visited the ranch with my husband in june 2017 to look at a litter of pups. I chose a small red female, the smallest of the litter. We then signed a contract which promised: shots, dew claws removed, tail docked and first worming meds. I drove 4hrs to pick up the puppy and she called to tell me it was dead. We continued to the ranch anyway because I was reeling with grief and wanted to se the body. It was true. The small red pup was dead of strangulation. The enclosure of chain link fencing - the pups head got stuck while trying to get to the rest of her litter mates on the other side of the fence. She proceeded to tell me the same thing had happened the previous week but her daughter happened to go out to the barn and found her in time. But made no change for the pup's safety. (unbelievable)
She had other puppies that had been attacked by a male corgi killing one injuring two.
She could see how upset I was and begged me to take a different pup from another litter. I said no at first because I wanted a female and there were none that weren't already being held for others. I went back the next day and she showed me more pups and really wanted me to take one. I think because I had already paid her and she didn't want to give me the money back. Finally she talked me I to doing it. I picked a male that I felt was a good representation of the breed. So I took the tiny scared pup home. After several months I felt that my little blue boy was much more aggressive than I had wanted in a puppy. I contacted echo (the breeder) and told her this may not be working out. She proceeded to tell me there was absolutely no way she would take the dog back. She was extremely rude saying over 15 years she had never had a dog that was aggressive. She belittled me as an owner. Then told me she gave me a 5 week old puppy! She wanted me out of her life so badly, she talked a grieving dog mom into taking a baby pup away from his mother.
Beware of grazinghranch.com breeding and selling toy aussie's and corgi puppies.
She has too many litters to properly house and is inflexible about getting the right dog for the right owner. Now isn't that what a breeder is for in the first place?

PLEASE GO READ MY REVIEW BEFORE YOU BUY A DOG FROM GRAZING H
My husband and I found her on Craigslist when looking for an indoor family dog. She had a Great Dane mix she needed to rehome. She told us he was housetrained, lie. She told us he was well mannered, lie. She told us he was good with kids, lie. When we reached out she was too busy to help us. Then admitted she kept him on a leash constantly at her ranch. This woman is an animal abuser. This dog is terrified if anyone even raised their hand over him. Please do not support this woman. She doesn’t care what happens to the animals she only cares about the money. Reported to BBB.
We recently bought a mini blue merle auggie, whom we named bonnie, from grazing h, who has become the joy of our lives and quite honestly the cutest darn thing weve ever seen. She has been completely healthy and extremely intelligent. We just picked her up 13 days ago and she has already learned her potty training, not to bite, nip, everything, and is fully crate trained. She is about as close to a perfect pup as anyone could ask for.
We had read the reviews on here prior to purchasing our pup and were skeptical, honestly a little worried, but decided to take the chance as we completely understand just how petty people can be. We are so glad that we did. The lady was kind, caring, thorough and instructive. She asks that if you no longer want the pup she would like them back so they can be cared for, along with sort of a refund policy. To me it makes no sense, you're bringing someone into your family, and personally id never return my kids, id just figure out how to raise them better, but i understand that things happen. The price was very fair, as people are for some stupid reason wanting 1500 to 2000 for mutts these days. Bonnie had already been given all her shots and we were given a dose of her next shot. Yes, she was being kept in a kennel barn, but she was with her mother and they had heat lamps with plenty of food and family. I understand things may have been different in the past, but as for her service now, health of the pup and all that, we are overall very happy, really, as happy than we could have hoped to be. My complaint is regarding the previous complaints, and wanted to counter some of that information. We couldn't be happier with grazing h, thank you so much.
I was pushed into buying a sick dog, lied to about it being pure bred. We did a DNA and my corgi is 12.5% aussie. I watched her wash off the fleas, he had worms and parvo within the week costing thousands in vet bills. But with the over run conditions at her house there was no way I was going to subject him to being sent back. I would highly caution against purchasing from this breeder and would recommend an animal welfare check.
Alot of this complaint is fabricated. She called me after having puppy for several months and wanted to trade for another puppy. She said her puppy was "raging" at her. I told her it was probably a training or discipline issue.( Or just playing!) You can't just try puppies out and exchange for a new one when you want to.
A few of my clients have visited Grazing H and were appalled that the litter was in a barn stall next to a sick cow! I've also talked to owners that have "merle" pembrokes from her! Anyone that knows the breed, knows they are mix breed and cannot be registered with the AKC but these owners assured me they were! Keep in mind CKC here means Continental Kennel Club (Not Canadian Kennel Club). They are the registration KC for puppy mill'ers and backyard breeders.
Any ethical breeder would have taken the pup back for it's own welfare.
