| Who We Are |
La Plata is an Australian Shepherd Kennel owned by Celeste and Randy Telles in Los
Lunas, New Mexico. Los Lunas is located south of Albuquerque, New Mexico. We are
a Husband and Wife team with over 27 years of experience with Australian Shepherds.
We got our first Australian Shepherd in 1979 and began La Plata Australian Shepherds
in 1980 with our first ASCA Champion Bitch, CH. La Plata's Moonlight Fantasy. Since
then, we began actively showing and handling Australian Shepherds as well as being
charter members of The Australian Shepherd Association of New Mexico (ASANM),
which was the first ASCA affiliated club in New Mexico. In 1985, Celeste proudly
became an Australian Shepherd Breeder Judge, making her the first Breeder Judge in
the state of New Mexico. She has been judging all over the United States and got her
Senior Breeder Judgeship in 1995. In 2005, we became a Hall of Fame Kennel and
whelped our 6th Generation of puppies sired by our first BISS CH. La Plata's Mystico
De Colores X CH. La Chiripada de La Plata.

| Our Dogs |
We have raised our dogs in the family home. We love our animals and treat
them as members of the family. Our puppies are socialized and intelligent
from being raised in the family home environment. We breed for ourselves
and usually breed a litter every few years. We breed for health, soundness,
and type. However, we stress good temperament above all else. Each of our
breedings is well thought out, planned, and researched. We strive to breed
healthy, well-tempered dogs that people want to live with. All of our dogs
that are used for breeding are OFA good or excellent and their eyes are
cleared yearly.
We carefully evaluate each puppy to determine whether it should go to a
loving performance or pet home. We strive to find our puppies the best
possible home, so we carefully evaluate any approved puppy buyer.
If you have questions about our puppies or upcoming litters, please email
Celeste.
