I'm Ellie P., the breeder behind Ellie Phillips’ Aussies located in Chuckey, TN. I love my pup so much that I decided to start a breeding program to share her amazing temperament and health with other families! As a breeder, I feel a sense of responsibility to prioritize the overall health and temperament of each of my puppies and to ensure that they are loved and well cared for prior to joining their forever homes.
