Cottontown Aussies
Meet the breeder
I'm Emily M., the breeder behind Cottontown Aussies located in Leighton, AL. Our Aussie pups are home-raised. We put a lot of care into socializing them so they can transition easily into their new lives. We give our dogs the best lives possible. We are looking for families and individuals that will provide our puppies with the same level of love and care.
