Q&A with This Breeder
Why did you start breeding?
We started this journey in 2014 with Lou, our very first Mini Aussie. Over the years, we've expanded to include Standards and Toys to meet the requests of our dog families. Most recently, we've started double-registering our smaller Aussies as AKC Mini American Shepherds, opening up even more opportunities for our puppy families. We became a Texas Licensed Breeder in 2026, and Kellye was nominated as a member of the TDLR Licensed Breeder Advisory Board in 2026.
What makes your program special?
The moment you get a TK Aussie you become part of our TK Aussie family with a lifetime of breeder support and committment!
How are your animals raised?
Our animals are part of our family- they bring us so much happiness with their unique personalities, and we treat every puppy as if they were our own! From the start, our kids have been involved in the business, sharing the same love and passion for this amazing breed. We're passionate about providing healthy, happy, and well-socialized puppies, and we're equally dedicated to supporting you as a new puppy owner! We have puppies in 32 of the US states, the Bahamas, and Canada!
What do you prioritize in temperament?
We use a combination of Puppy Culture and the Bad Ass Breeder Program to give your puppy the best start in life. From potty training to crate training, our puppies are already familiar with routines that make their transition to your home smoother. Plus, we've partnered with Baxter and Bella to offer our families a 25% discount on their training resources with code TKAUSSIES.
