“Dogs do speak, but only to those who know how to listen.”– Orhan Pamuk
Welcome to TAGA Ranch!
Here at TAGA Ranch we take great pride in our dogs - we want to make sure we have the quality, temperament, beauty and the brains in our dogs. Yes, we compete in conformation but we have several of our fur babies in homes that use them for herding, agility, rally, barn hunts, conformation, therapy, few breeding programs and last but the most important, family homes.
We are currently State of Iowa, AKC, USDA licensed and inspected with follow ups as well as kennel checked and approved by a state of Iowa veterinarian.
We want to make sure you feel confident in the process of adding a TAGA baby to your family. We do require a phone conversation and an application process because these fur babies are our priority, their futures are in our hands and when they are born they get a piece of our heart just like they give us a piece of theirs. The application must be filled out prior to our visit and we want to make sure that you are as serious about our babies as we are. If we have no puppies available, we can always discuss adding you to our waiting list.
Not only do you get an amazing companion from TAGA Aussies and Nutrition but your puppy also come with at pick up as long as you are paying full price...

VISITOR POLICY
The health of our dogs and puppies is important to us so we take every precaution to protect them, with that said, we are a closed kennel.
Unfortunately young puppies don’t have fully developed immune systems and are susceptible to life threatening illnesses, including Parvo.
When diseases like Parvo strike, they can kill a whole litter in a matter of hours. Disease germs can be carried on people’s clothing and shoes and even your car tires.
For this reason, we ask that you “visit” us online rather than in person, so that you may safely see our dogs and watch our puppies grow. We photograph our puppies regularly, and post the photos on the available puppies page. We also send weekly photos to the people on our reserve list with little updates on how puppies are doing. Sometimes we share a sweet story or two about them.
When we meet you for pick up of your puppy we ask that you do not go places where there may have been dogs who you don’t know (pet stores, parks, rest areas, vet clinics, etc).
Thank you for helping us protect the health of our puppies!
