Meet the breeder

I'm Annakaren and Jeremy V., the breeder behind Always Awesome Aussies located in Lubbock, TX. Our love for our Aussies began our journey as breeders. We take pride in our dogs and in the puppies that are born here with us. They are taken care of with the best care possible and are raised with lots of love!

Q. & A. with Annakaren and Jeremy

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We knew we wanted to get into breeding as soon as we got our boy, Gideon. He was such a spunky, energetic, loving dog, that we knew we wanted other people to have the same experience with a pup like him.
  • What makes your program special?

    Our dogs are given a lot of love and attention. They receive the utmost care here at Always Awesome Aussies!
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

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

    They live in my home.
