Meet the breeder
I'm Darla R., the breeder behind Diamond R Aussies located in Madisonville, TX. We breed high-quality Mini Aussies. We love what we do and are committed to producing well-bred, healthy puppies for loving homes. Our dogs are intelligent, loving, and athletic, and they produce puppies who will thrive in an active lifestyle. We're passionate about these dogs and are careful to breed and raise our pups with only the best policies.
Q. & A. with Darla
Why did you start breeding?
I had Aussies for pets, and so many people asked us about them so often at rodeos, that we began our kennels and raising the pups - establishing our lineage of well rounded , smart and beautiful pups!What makes your program special?
Our program is so special because we integrate our pups with us in our home and kennels. They all become so socialized by the time they go to their forever homes, that they have a very distinct personality. We try to put each pup with the right home to begin their new life. They are our "little People"!What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include blue merle and black tri. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
