Welcome to Dapple Den Australian Shepherds!
Â
We are a small, family-run, KUSA-registered Australian Shepherd breeder based in Cape Town.
​
Health, temperament and responsible breeding are at the heart of everything we do. We are passionate about raising confident, affectionate and well-rounded Aussies who are prepared for life as much-loved family companions.
​
Our breeding dogs undergo hip and elbow radiographs, together with comprehensive breed-relevant genetic testing, helping us make the best breeding decisions possible for the health and future of our puppies.

Our Aussies in Their Element
Led by a Qualified Clinical Veterinary Nurse
At the heart of Dapple Den is Lexi, a qualified veterinary nurse and University of Pretoria graduate. Her clinical knowledge, attention to detail and genuine passion for Australian Shepherds influence every aspect of our breeding programme — from health and genetics to neonatal care, early development and the wellbeing of each puppy.
​
Her experience allows us to approach every litter with a high standard of care, thoughtful decision-making and a strong understanding of what puppies need during their most important early weeks. Combined with our love for the breed, this helps us raise healthy, confident and well-rounded Aussies who are given the best possible start in life.
