About Rocky Top Kennels
Located on our ranch in Creston in San Luis Obispo County, Rocky Top Kennels has been raising show quality Toy and Miniature Australian Shepherds since 1986. Founded by Cindy Johnson, every litter is bred with one purpose: healthy, loving dogs that become cherished family members and capable working ranch dogs.
We take no shortcuts. All of our breeding dogs carry clear CERF eye certifications and OFA ratings of good or better. Our puppies come in Red Merle, Blue Merle, Black Tri, and Red Tri in both male and female, recognized by the NSDR, AKC, and ASDR.
Meet Cindy & Our DogsWhy Rocky Top
Certified for NSDR, ASCA, ASDR, and AKC working dog trials. Our dogs compete and win in Agility, Rally Obedience, Obedience, Flyball, and ASDR Conformation.
Our Mini Aussies are bred to excel in Agility, Rally Obedience, and an active farm life. They also make wonderful service dogs.
There's no match for the emotional intelligence of an Australian Shepherd. These dogs love deeply and bond for life.
Every breeding dog has a clear CERF eye exam and OFA hip rating of good or better. Your puppy starts life on the healthiest foundation possible.
Recognized by the National Stock Dog Registry, American Stock Dog Registry, and American Kennel Club.
We offer stud service to approved females. Contact Cindy to discuss your breeding goals and available studs.
Our Dogs
Raised on our Creston ranch with love, sunshine, and wide-open space to run.
Partner Service
Rocky Top Kennels partners with Marty Johnson of Rajun Kennels for professional dog training right here in Central California. With over 50 years of experience, Marty's two-week board-and-train program delivers happy, animated off-leash obedience.
Marty takes only four dogs per session so every dog receives real, individual attention. His "stay-cation" approach blends discipline, socialization, and problem solving so you go home with a dog you can trust anywhere.
What Families Say
"If you want a healthy, happy and beautiful dog, Cindy at Rocky Top Kennels is the one to go to. We got our Mini Aussie from her last year, and she's been an amazing dog."
"Cindy clearly puts her heart into every litter. Our puppy came home healthy, well-socialized, and with the sweetest temperament. Rocky Top is the real deal."
"We've had our Blue Merle for two years now. He's brilliant, healthy, and absolutely beautiful. Worth every penny — the drive to Creston was 100% worth it."
