Meet the breeder
I'm Cathy O., the breeder behind Brody Aussies located in Chico, CA. For over 25 years, Brody Aussies have been breeding and showing champion dogs. Our focus is on health, temperament, and structure. While many of our dogs have been very competitive in the show ring, our Aussies are family first and foremost.

Q. & A. with Cathy
Why did you start breeding?
When I got into breeding I was honored to have the advice of many people who had years of knowledge. I do not breed a lot of litters. I truly believe quality is better than quantity.What makes your program special?
My dogs are a huge part of my household dynamic. They are number one a family member.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include blue merle and black tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
