About Us
We are a small family breeder raising quality Miniature American Shepherds & Australian Shepherds, primarily in the miniature and standard sizes. We are located in Magnolia, TX which is about an hour northwest of Houston.
All of our dogs live in our house with us and are part of our everyday life. We strive to preserve this breed’s uniqueness while considering canine health, conformation, temperament, training and promoting responsible dog ownership. We focus on raising happy, healthy puppies and placing them in the right homes.
​
Aussies are like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get in a litter because of all the possible different color combinations (black & red, merles, tan, white, eye colors).
You may be wondering how we came up with our kennel name. Red tree is the English translation of our last name, Akagi. The ridge part came from the subdivision we bought our first home in.

What makes our breeding program unique?
We provide lifelong breeder support to our puppy families. We strive to provide our puppy families with happy, healthy, loving family pets. We are very knowledgeable in genetics and research prior to making breeding decisions. Our puppies come from healthy genetically tested parents (genetic diseases & OFA). We use Avidog, ENS, and ESI protocols in our program and to raise our puppies.
We are devoted to helping all Aussie owners, regardless of where they got their Aussies from. We are part of a few admin teams of various Facebook Aussie groups which include a genetics group, a training group, and general Aussie groups.
​
We are continuously committed to furthering our knowledge to everything related to breeding. Some of the ways we further our education is through Midwoofery courses (https://www.midwoofery.com/courses), IBC courses (https://www.instituteofcaninebiology.org/courses-1.html) and Good Dog/Avidog (https://www.gooddog.com/learning-center).
