Pennsylvania FAQ
Common Questions From Pennsylvania Families
Are you an Australian Shepherd breeder serving Pennsylvania?
Yes. Queen City Farm is based in Falmouth, Kentucky — just south of Cincinnati — and we work with Pennsylvania families regularly, especially from the Pittsburgh and Western PA region.
How far is the farm from major Pennsylvania cities?
Pittsburgh is about 4 hours (roughly 260 miles) via I-71 North and I-76 East. Harrisburg, Philadelphia, and the eastern PA metros are longer drives — typically 7 to 9 hours — and families in those areas usually plan pickup as part of a multi-day trip.
Do you have Australian Shepherd puppies for sale in Pennsylvania?
Yes — we place puppies with Pennsylvania families from every litter. The best way to see what's available now or coming up is our available puppies page.
Do you ship puppies to Pennsylvania?
No. Every puppy is met by their family in person at the farm — pickup day is an important part of how we transition puppies into their new homes.
What should I look for in a good Australian Shepherd breeder in Pennsylvania?
Look for a breeder who health-tests every dog they breed — hips and elbows through OFA, eyes examined by a board-certified veterinary ophthalmologist, and a genetic panel through Embark and UC Davis — and who shows you the results. Good breeders raise puppies underfoot with early socialization, prove their dogs in the show ring or dog sports, welcome you to meet the parents in person, and back every puppy with a written contract and lifetime return-to-breeder support. We walk through the full checklist — and the red flags worth walking away from — in our guide to choosing a responsible breeder.
What about "mini" or "toy" Australian Shepherds — do you breed those?
No. Those are marketing labels, not real breeds. The only AKC-recognized smaller breed in the Aussie family is the Miniature American Shepherd, which is a separate breed entirely. We breed AKC-registered Australian Shepherds.
Can Pennsylvania families visit the farm before applying?
Yes. We welcome serious buyers to come walk the farm, meet our dogs, and see how puppies are raised. Reach out through our contact form to schedule a visit.
