I decided my 18 month old Australian shepherd needed a friend, so I drove several hours to get an 8 week old Aussie from Alexis & Machelle in January 2026. It was absolutely THE best decision! Their communication was on point and everything about working with them was seamless. My new baby and her "older brother" are best friends. I highly recommend Country Time Kennels on every level. 10 outta 10 ladies! Thank you!!!
