Every litter born at Reinem-N-Kennels carries the same standard: proven show and working bloodlines, full health testing on both parents, and the benefit of Monique's 20+ years training herding dogs in real conditions on our 750-acre Caroline County farm. Whether you're a rancher looking for a working partner, a competitor seeking show-quality structure and drive, or a family wanting a devoted companion, our puppies are raised the same way — outdoors, around livestock and horses, with early socialization and structure that shows in their temperament for life.
Below you'll find current and upcoming litters, pricing guidance, and how to apply. We ship nationwide and offer local pickup here in Ruther Glen, Virginia, just outside Richmond.

Ask About Trained PupsTransparency matters to us as much as it matters to you. We post regular video updates of every litter — from first steps to their first swim in the pond to early livestock exposure — so you can watch your puppy's temperament and development before you ever bring them home. Follow along on our Facebook page for the latest clips, or ask us for footage of a specific litter directly.
Pricing reflects lineage, health testing, and the amount of training completed before a puppy goes home. Every puppy — companion or working prospect — comes from health-tested, titled parents with full AKC registration. We're happy to walk you through pedigrees and what makes a particular pairing suited to your goals.

Choosing the right puppy from a litter isn't about picking the one that runs to you first — it's about matching temperament, energy, and instinct to the work or life ahead of them. If you're outfitting a ranch, we look at herding response and independence. If you're a competitor, we look at structure and movement. If you're a family, we look at confidence and biddability. Monique evaluates every puppy individually and will guide your selection honestly, even if that means recommending a different puppy than the one you first fell in love with.
We're based in Caroline County, Virginia, minutes from Ruther Glen and about 40 minutes north of Richmond — plenty of local families and competitors pick up in person. But most of our puppies go home with buyers across the country. We coordinate ground transport and flight nanny delivery for out-of-state buyers, and every puppy travels with a health certificate, vaccination records, and a full care packet.
No matter where you're located, you'll get the same transparency: pedigree documents, health testing results, and video updates from birth through the day your puppy comes home.
Companion puppies typically range from $2,500–$3,000, show or working prospects from $3,500–$4,500, and trained puppies (12–16 weeks with foundation obedience) start at $5,000. Every puppy comes from health-tested, AKC-registered parents.
Tell us how you plan to use the puppy — ranch work, competition, or companionship — and Monique will evaluate temperament, structure, and drive to recommend the best match, drawing on 20+ years of placing working and show dogs.
Yes. We regularly ship puppies across the United States via ground transport or flight nanny, with full health documentation. Local pickup is also available in Ruther Glen, Virginia.
Untrained puppies typically go home at 8 weeks with early socialization complete. Trained puppies stay with us longer (12–16 weeks) and leave with crate manners, leash skills, basic obedience, and livestock/water exposure already underway.
Yes — our bloodlines are selected as much for working instinct as for show quality. Puppies are raised around horses and livestock from day one, and Monique can help you choose a pup with strong herding drive if you need a working partner.
