    We got our baby three weeks ago, and the entire process was incredibly smooth. Melissa was great to work with and kept us updated with photos along the way, which we really appreciated. Our little Roo has been an amazing addition to our family—we love her so much! We couldn’t be happier with our experience!

    August Oaks Aussies were amazing to work with from the start. Great communication and updates as puppy pickup date approached. And we continue to touch base as our baby grows. Our new addition to the family “Skade” is an awesome and beautiful girl. I could not have found a more loving and caring breeder! Good dog made this connection nd process easy as well. Thank you!
