KNOCKOUT KENNELS
Raising Exceptional Miniature American Shepherds
OUR STORY
Business partners and Owners Matt and Genn Reed grew up showing livestock and being life-long animal lovers. When they met, Matt owned a 5-year old Standard Australian Shepherd mix named KODA. While not registered or able to show, Koda was famous in his own way. Often referred to as a human himself for his chill demeanor and welcoming personality to anyone he met. His loyalty to Matt and Genn was unmatched. Koda lived a wonderful, long, healthy life to the age of 14 when time just caught up with him. He was such a special part of our lives that we knew one day we would want honor him as best we could. While he was mostly known as Koda, his nicknames included Kodi and KO. Hence the perfect dedication to our special boy. To a stranger, maybe KO kennels would sound odd, so we decided to add a unique punch to that abbreviation. Knockout “K.O.” Kennels strives to provide all animal-lovers alike the option to have a knockout, top-notch pet, just like Koda was for us.

Our Commitment to the Breed
Every breeding is thoughtfully planned with the future of the Miniature American Shepherd in mind. We prioritize:

Exceptional temperament

Sound movement and athletic ability
Our dogs actively compete in AKC Conformation, Fast CAT, and other performance events, proving they possess both beauty and ability. We believe responsible breeding means producing dogs that are as capable in the performance ring as they are loving members of the family.
Raised With Purpose
Our puppies are raised in a home environment where they receive daily socialization and early exposure to the sights, sounds, and experiences that help them become confident, well-adjusted companions.
From the day they are born, every puppy receives individualized care and attention to provide the best possible start in life.
