Catalina Aussies
Meet the breeder
I'm James M., the breeder behind Catalina Aussies located in Orlando, FL. We do our best to socialize and acclimate each litter so we’re able to offer all-around healthy and well-mannered puppies! Our dogs stole our hearts right from the start and we found ourselves wanting to get more involved. Breeding was a natural next step and we haven’t looked back since.
