When I was looking for a playmate for my 8 month old Sheltie Cody, I was fortunate to find Judith on Gooddog. She was super responsive and her kindness and compassion for mini aussies came through when I first met her. She sent me LOTS and LOTS of pictures of Gracie along the way so I could see her growth and personality leading up to pick up day! I’ve only had Gracie for 2 days now and she and Cody have become fast friends which is exactly what I was hoping for!! If you’re looking for a mini Aussie and want to ensure it comes from a wonderful home, look no further than Judith - you’ll be glad you did!

Judith was just amazing. She was so responsive and answered all my questions. She welcomed me into her home to take home our puppy. Kenobi (formerly Dallas) is doing very well. He was good on his 2.5 hour car ride home. He slept in his crate last night and already coming when he is called. We started potty training he is a quick learner. He is adjusting very well to his new home.

I lost my 15 year old Mini Aussie, Jack, in May of this year. It has been very hard for me to move on as Jack was my soul dog. Judith was very kind as I searched for my next canine friend. She always got back to me right away to answer questions. She made me feel secure in this process, knowing my puppy was being expertly cared for and loved until I could take over. I’ve only had the puppy, we named him Chip, for one day, but he has been engaging, curious and brave. I believe his continued adjustment to his new home will be quick and smooth thanks to the wonderful start Judith has given her puppies. Karen
