About us

A kennel specialised in shepherds: careful selection, responsible breeding and support at every step.

Who we are

Ikal Black is a kennel specialised in Australian Shepherds and Miniature American Shepherds.

They are working breeds that call for careful selection of structure, movement and character, and that is how we raise every litter: with judgement, with time and with many years of breeding experience.

We work with selected lines aiming for balanced, healthy dogs with aptitude for sport and work, who are also great companions at home. We will advise you so you choose the shepherd that fits the way you live.

How we choose our dogs

Selecting the adults is at the heart of Ikal Black: it shapes what their puppies inherit.

Genetics

We work with carefully selected lines and sound genetics, so every litter keeps the qualities of the breed.

Conformation and structure

We look for dogs that meet their breed standard: structure, proportions, angulation and balanced movement.

Temperament

We choose balanced, attentive dogs that are keen to work, because character is inherited too.

Who is behind it

A hunch that became a passion

For years I bred English Bulldogs. Then I met the shepherds and had a hunch: I fell in love with the breed.

I see them as the future. They are truly noble and beautiful dogs, intelligent and with a unique balance of beauty, character and working ability. That is why Ikal Black was born: a kennel devoted only to them, where I select every dog with all the dedication and high standards they deserve.

Why trust us

Transparency, care and real support.

Registered zoological nucleus

We breed as a registered zoological nucleus (B-2500298), with full transparency at every step.

A huge, green space

Puppies grow up in a very large space surrounded by nature, where they go out to play every day. We prioritise their care, their health and their socialisation.

Used to other animals

From a young age they live alongside animals of other species, so they arrive home sociable, calm and ready for family life.

Meet the parents

The parents live on site and you can meet them. A first-hand way to see what your puppy will be like.

A specialised team

We know shepherds, their character and their care in depth. We guide you according to what you are looking for, so you choose the puppy that suits you best.

Come and meet them before choosing

We prioritise that you come to meet the puppies, so the connection with your puppy is genuine from the very first moment.

How it works

We are with you at every step, from your first enquiry to the day your puppy comes home.

We advise you

Tell us what you are looking for and what your home is like. We help you choose the shepherd and the puppy that best fit your family and your way of life.

Come and meet them

We prioritise that you come to the kennel to meet the puppies and their parents, so the connection is genuine. If you cannot come, you can also choose from home, with photos and videos.

Reserve, or take them home

If your puppy is not ready to leave yet, we make a reservation and prepare a pre-contract with the puppy's details and the estimated delivery date. If they are ready, they can go home with you.

Here for whatever you need

We remain at your disposal for any question and keep advising you once you have your puppy at home.

How we deliver your puppy

Puppies go home from 2 months old, with everything needed to get off to a good start.

From 2 months old

We wait for the puppy to develop properly, grow strong and socialise with its siblings and other animals, so it can then go home with its new family. That is why puppies are delivered from 2 months of age.

Vaccination and deworming

They go home with their health card, with the corresponding vaccinations and deworming according to the vaccination schedule.

Identification and paperwork

Every puppy goes home with its microchip and its transfer contract.

Welcome manual

With all the information about the breed, how to introduce your new companion to your home and how to follow up, both legally and health-wise, with your local vet.

Food kit and 2-for-1 on Royal Canin

We give you a food kit for the first few days and a 2-for-1 on Royal Canin for your next purchase.

Pedigree or LOE registration

Depending on the litter, we can arrange the pedigree or registration in the LOE (Spanish Stud Book) at an additional cost. Ask us about each case.

We can arrange a visit so you can meet the puppies, their parents and the facilities.
