Meet the breeder

I'm Kaitlyn V., the breeder behind Acton Aussies located in Michie, TN. Our goal is to produce healthy and sound pups that will strive in their furever homes. We are committed to providing our puppies and buyers with a positive experience. Temperament, drive, and structure are a few key characteristics that we keep in mind when pairing to breed.

Q. & A. with Kaitlyn

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I’ve always wanted to breed but I wanted to do it for the right reasons. I started doing my research on responsible breeding. I researched about genetic testing, breed standards, and lots more!
  • What makes your program special?

    I treasure each and every puppy in my program. My pups are put through different trials from a young age until they go to their future homes. They will be started on basic obedience, crate training, and potty training. When they leave my home, they will be desensitized and confident to everyday chaos such as being around children, loud noises, different textures, chickens and much more!
  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include blue merle, black tri, red tri, and red merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    I’m so happy with our experience with Kaitlyn from Acton Aussies! She was professional, caring, and very responsive throughout the entire process. NOLA, our miniature Australian Shepherd, has been a wonderful addition to our family — healthy, friendly, and well-socialized. Kaitlyn clearly puts a lot of love and attention into her breeding program, and it shows in the puppies. We truly appreciate all her support and guidance. Highly recommend Acton Aussies to anyone looking for a quality Aussie with a great temperament!

    There are so many good things that could be said about Acton Aussies. She reached out super fast when I first showed interest in the puppy I wanted to get. She also replied very quickly to any questions I had about the puppy I wanted and I overall don’t have anything negative to say. When we picked him up she was super sweet and had a small send off basket prepared for him. We got a lot of information as well and it helped me feel very prepared for this journey. Overall, I am very happy with the breeder I chose and ended up with the cutest, happiest puppy.

    Kaitlyn was the greatest to work with when it came to getting updates on our new baby and getting our baby picked up. She was very responsive when I had any questions. Kaitlyn was awesome in the training she did with Sina before she came home to us! We are so in love with our new little girl and I’m so happy with how well she has completed our little family.
