Gilbert is my little ray of sunshine. He’s from Penny & Little Man's litter in 2019! He’s been with me almost a year and a half and I can not express the joy he’s brought me. He always has me laughing and I actually can not believe how stinkin’ cute he is! He matured at 17.5 lbs of fluff and is the perfect size! Shannon had him delivered to me via plane on Ruthie's lap from MN to CA. Their puppy nanny service was amazing! One day when I get a bigger home, I’ll be getting another Finney Ranch pup 🤪
I am SO thankful for Finney Ranch! Shannon and her family are so genuine and sweet and they raise the same type of pups. I also used the puppy nanny service and Ruthie was amazing! She flew all the way to California for me with Gilbert on her lap, dropped him off and flew back in the same day. I am also just so surprised at how loving, well behaved, and funny my dog is. If you’re thinking about getting a puppy from them, this is your sign to do it!!

I wanted to reach out and tell you how amazing Mylo is (Sauger). From the start you guys were so helpful, even with the simplest questions I had. Throughout the process I felt that you guys cared about my concerns and wanted to help with anything. It was amazing how cooperative you guys are especially when it came to the day I’d get to take Mylo home!
When it comes to Mylo himself he is a very outgoing dog. He listens so well, trains so easily & he has the GREATEST personality. He seriously talks to you, it is so stinking funny and cute! Potty training with him was a breeze. He caught on so fast; it only took a few months for him to be fully trained. I highly highly recommend getting a dog from Finney Ranch. Mylo was my first pet and I DO NOT regret it. The experience in all was amazing and my dog itself is amazing!

We love our sweet Diggs (aka Cordarrelle from Winnie and Little Man Nov 2019). Shannon was so wonderful to work with. She answered any of my questions and always kept in touch with me during the adoption process. Diggs, now 2 years old, has been a blessing to our family. He’s super smart and so sweet. We’d definitely adopt another puppy from Finney Ranch. Wonderful experience! Thank you ❤️

Thank you Finney Ranch for raising our amazing puppy, Bridger! He is now 2 years old and is so sweet and so smart! He was a very well-adjusted puppy and we credit that to how Finney Ranch raises their puppies. They do such a great job holding them and playing with them and exposing them to many noises and experiences on their ranch! They did a great job posting new pictures and updates and communicating through the whole process as we waited to bring our new puppy home! We only wish we could have another Finney Ranch puppy, but sadly our town only allows us to have 2 dogs and we are already at our limit.
His litter name was Hank, from Opal and Porter's litter.

I am so thankful I heard about Finney Ranch and their beautiful Aussiedoodles. Shannon was an absolute dream to work with when I decided I was ready to bring another dog (or two) into my life. She patiently answered my numerous questions and provided photos and videos to help me select my little family members. She also let me know I was more than welcome to visit the ranch to select my puppies but unfortunately I was not able to make that trip. Motley (merle-colored male out of Ruby and Porter) is 22 lbs of energy and fun. He will play fetch with his toys all day but also loves to cuddle and “talk” to you. Iris (black and white female out of Tilly and Hank) is 23 lbs of sweet and sassy mixed. She prefers to throw her toys down the stairs herself and then go get them. She loves to be on your lap and then lean back in your arms just like a baby. They love everyone they meet and have the best personalities.
I could not ask for more perfect dogs to fill my days with fun and love. Shannon and all of her family and staff do such an amazing job of raising well socialized and healthy puppies. I can’t thank her enough for allowing me to have Motley and Iris as part of my family along with Kuma (Kris from Opal and Porter’s litter) for my son. He is 49lbs of the perfect companion for Brandon.

My Finney Ranch pup, Dexter, known as Fondue from Quartz spring litter, is the most exuberant and joyous pup. He loves everyone. Dexter is smart and one of the best natured dogs I have ever had, which I contribute to the breeding done by Finney Ranch.

From the time I set eyes on a Finney Ranch pup, I knew I was in love. I watched their IG like a hawk and finally decided that it was time to get a puppy. I called Shannon and she was so helpful and answered all my questions. Got on a list for Peggy and Hank's litter and our puppy was born Jan 2021. Our family couldn't wait to bring her home. We used the puppy nanny service and it was so easy. Thank you for flying in a pandemic to bring our baby home to Oregon. We received detailed information in a binder and some fun Finney Ranch swag. Our Finney Ranch pup continues to impress us with her temperment and everyone always stops and asks about our pup. We tell everyone who asks about Finney Ranch. 2 of our neighbors ended up getting Aussiedoodles because of how amazing our pup is. She is gorgeous, great with kids and the best dog we've ever owned. Thank you! We will for sure get another pup from Shannon and family and recommend anyone to do the same.

We are so happy with our Finney Ranch pup. From the time we contacted the ranch to pick up and after, the process was smooth. The best part, to me, was the knowledge and time Shannon shared when we came to her with specifics we were looking for. She was honest about what our options were and how she could help us get to the dog we were looking for. And we did get exactly what we wanted. Our pup is sweet natured, happy, and healthy. She was delivered closer to our home near Minneapolis, which made our puppy pick up day so much easier. We were so happy with our dog, the process, and with how much Finney Ranch seems to care for every dog (and pup) that are looking at getting another!

It’s almost been a year since we picked up our little guy at the airport and met Ruthie who was just the sweetest. Now, we will be celebrating the first Christmas with our cute, fluffy, sweet, silly, smart and happy Finney Ranch pup, Tux.
We love him so much and couldn’t be happier! We are constantly receiving compliments on how cute he is, about his coloring/coat, and how smart/well behaved he is. Thank you Finney Ranch for bringing Tux to us - you truly are amazing!

We discovered Finney Ranch back in May 2020 on Instagram. My partner and I had been researching for months to find the perfect Mini Aussiedoodle.
That’s when we stumbled across Quinn (formerly Phyllis from “The Office” litter).
I had called Shannon as soon as I saw her picture and that she was available since someone on the list had passed on her.
I’ll never forget what she said on the phone after I had told her all the research we’d been doing, what kind of home she would live in, etc.
She goes, “We’ve got about 40 people calling about this puppy right now… but I can tell you’ve done your research and that she would live in a great home and all we want is for our puppies to go into good homes.”
That’s what separates Finney from every other breeder – their heart.
They’re not in it for the money, they’re in it to truly breed healthy, sweet, smart puppies that will make great additions to any family.
Ruthie was our puppy nanny and flew from Minnesota to San Francisco and was so kind and professional.
She came down the airport escalators with Quinny in her arms, handed her straight to me, and then went over everything we needed to know in our Puppy Binder.
Quinn came microchipped, a 1-year bill of health warranty, all her shots up to 8 weeks with Veterinarian documentation, a few chew toys, her blankey, and some starter food.
Puppies are hard, but support and sharing resources makes it easier.
Finney Ranch put each new puppy owner on a text thread with everyone else who adopted a puppy in Quinn’s litter.
It was an incredible, priceless resource to share pictures, laughs, and resources/tips on everything from potty training, teething, food preferences, etc.
Finney Ranch Cares.
They go the extra mile for each customer. Like I said earlier, it’s not a transaction for them. We continue to communicate, share fun updates, and they’re always the sweetest. We’ve referred over 5 different friends to get puppies from Finney through different litters and EVERY SINGLE PUPPY has been incredible.
They get it. They know what they’re doing and they’re damn good at it.
Quinn is the best decision we could’ve ever made. She makes us laugh, she’s the biggest snuggler, and so smart. I can’t tell you all how many times we are either stopped on the street because people think she’s adorable, or that people are so impressed by how smart and well behaved she is.
Their genetics make this possible, and again – that’s a testament to Finney Ranch’s care to how they breed their dogs.
We love Finney Ranch, and can’t thank them enough for taking a chance on us!
Love,
Quinn, Chelsea & Lesley

We heard about Finney Ranch from some friends that found their two dogs from them. Ever since the first phone call we made to get some info, we knew Finney Ranch was the perfect choice for our next puppy! They really know their dogs and have a personal touch that makes it feel like you are dealing with family. We chose our pup at 5 weeks by looking at many pictures and videos, and then we drove to the Ranch to pick her up at 8 weeks. Finney Ranch is very clean and welcoming, and Shannon & Erik spent time talking with all of us for quite a while, despite their busy schedule! When it was time to go home, Birch was an amazing little traveler for the five-hour trip!! Seriously! No accidents or even puppy crying!! She is smart and loving and stays by us in such a loyal, Aussie manner!! Her coat is great, with minimal shedding, and we groom her at home. She loves everyone in our family and does great with visitors and other dogs. We are so thankful for Birch! She has received glowing reports from our vet, too! She is a little over 50 pounds and will be one year in June. She is from Charlotte and Tater’s summer 2020 “tree litter.”

This is Archie, aka Douglas, from Peggy's litter! Archie has been such a great addition to our family! Shannon and the Finny Ranch crew have been amazing. Not only were they patient when we were choosing our pup, they also have been so informative when we had an emergency vet situation on a Friday! Thankfully everything was fine! He is a fun and crazy puppy that has brought so much fun to our household! So thankful for the Finney Ranch family for Archie!

We love our Finney Ranch Aussiedoodle Owens! He came to us as a friendly, completely socialized pup who immediately won our hearts. Owens flew to us with a wonderful puppy nanny, Ruthie, who took the best care with our puppy. Ruthie kept us informed the entire time. We would not hesitate getting another Finney Ranch pup!

Bella has been a true light in my life! She is from Minnie and Little Man's litter in April 2020, named after Finding Nemo characters. We've had almost three years together now and I can't imagine life without her. She's about 18 pounds, which is the perfect size for my lifestyle. She's so smart, athletic, funny, my little Velcro girl. I am so thankful for all the adventures we've had together so far and even more excited for all the adventures the future will bring us! Thank you so much to the Finney family for loving this little girl.

I picked up Bear (formerly Boaz) on Oct 15th. He is our first puppy. He is so sweet and smart!! He’s seamlessly fit into our family. Finney Ranch was great to work with!! They answered all of my questions professionally and were so helpful!! My only problem is that now I want more puppies!!

We have been so happy with our pup, Finn. Prior to purchasing, Finney Ranch was great with answering our questions and working with us on a pick up date. We flew in to MSP and had no problems and great communication with him being brought to us at the airport. Upon arriving home, the vet had only positives to say about his health and we were pleased at how well he did from the get go with both house training and crate training at night. By a week or two in, he was sleeping 7-8 hours overnight. We have started training classes and the instructor comments on how eager he is to work for treats. We are happy to have Finn as part of the family.

We have a Daisy, from Coco and Hank, and she is just the best addition to our family. She is such a sweet girl and so smart and we highly recommend the ranch all the time to people looking for a new pet. Thank you for taking such good care of all your dogs and puppies.

We could not be happier with our decision to get a Finney Ranch pup- the experience from my first inquiry, to them putting my little boy in my arms, was beyond amazing. The communication far exceeded my expectations- Shannon went above and beyond to answer ALL of my questions quickly and thoroughly, and I never hesitated to reach out to them- and still don't. It is obvious that these dogs are loved on the ranch, they are sweet and affectionate, and are smart and so handsome/beautiful! Also, my vet was impressed with how healthy and clean our pup was on his first visit- and commented on the organized and detailed folder with all of his information and vaccine dates that we received on "gotcha day". I recommend Finney Ranch to everyone- in fact, my best friend just got her Finney pup last month! All you have to do is visit their website or Instagram and you will see for yourself ( funny thing, I believe I have been on their sites almost every day since I got my pup- dreaming of my next one and soaking in all the cuteness!). Thank you to everyone who cared for our boy- we are forever grateful!

Finney Ranch.. where do I even start? They are BEYOND amazing!!! From the start of helping you pick which litter to choose from to after you take your puppy home, they are there for ANYTHING you may need. The whole entire family is sweet and very knowledgeable. They are not just “puppy breeders”. They love these puppies like family from pregnancy to birth to going to their furever home and even beyond that. They answer every question you may have with the best information that they can give. Always posting/sending pictures from day one so you can see your sweet puppy grow until it comes home. These puppies are exposed to people, noise, animals of all kinds and just everyday busy life. The puppies are smart & very quick learners, not to mention ADORABLE!!! You won’t find a more helpful, sweet, caring, clean, organized, knowledgeable, and loving place to get a puppy from. Finney Ranch is HIGHLY recommended from me to anyone looking for an incredible addition to their family.

Early spring 2020 I started my search for a “doodle” . I didn’t want a Golden or Labradoodle. I did some research and landed on the Aussiedoodle. Next step was to find a reputable breeder. I truly believe God led me to Finney Ranch. Ever step of the process was seamless. Shannon and the entire team are top notch! We visited the ranch in July and met both Minnie and Little Man. We fell in love with them both! We were made to feel like family. A few short months later our Murphy (Friday at the Ranch) was born. God’s timing and choice of breeder for us were simply perfect! Murphy brings us so much joy and laughter we wonder how we survived without him THANK YOU FINNEY RANCH! We love you all!
Deanna H.
We just absolutely love everything about the way we got our puppy! Shannon was there whenever I had a question! Willow is a fun, loving, cuddly pup!! We love her so much!!
This Finney Ranch pup was born September 25th, 2021 from Tillie and Hank! Her name is Willow (Ice Cream). She is potty trained, sleeps through the night, knows how to sit and now working on shake! She is an absolute hoot!! Love her so much! Merry Christmas!!

What is better than one Finney Ranch puppy? Two! We got a sibling for our one year old and their bond is incredible. We are excited to watch them grow up and give us so many moments of joy and laughter.

We can’t say enough about this group of people who had our sweet Bella (Prim from Hunger Games litter) before she was placed in our arms. The communication with Shannon prior to getting our names on a list was amazing, she was very helpful, informative, and responsive. We loved seeing weekly posts on IG with sweet videos and photos of our soon to be family member.
Bella is such a sweet, playful, well behaved, healthy little puppy. We get tons of compliments on her cuteness and behavior. We will continue to recommend Finny Ranch to everybody who asks us where we got our sweet Bella! Thank you Finny Ranch, this little puppy has brought so much love into our lives!

Our puppy is such a sweet tempered, smart, and friendly dog! He’s great with dogs, great with kids, so well behaved, and just a joy. I can’t get over how wonderful his temperament is compared to other dogs I’ve been around. I was expecting a lot of work to train and teach, but he is so smart and so sweet, training has been a breeze. We are working on heel currently, and he’s mastered, sit, stay, lay down, down, and most importantly-come. He’s SUCH a great dog and I get complements constantly on his beautiful soft fur and markings, as well as his great behavior. We will definitely get another puppy from here!
Our vet said Caymus is an absolutely beautiful moyen poodle with perfect health checks. This breeder is so fantastic and I’m so so happy. Worth every penny got a happy, healthy, wonderful family dog.
