    We had a wonderful experience with Kelly! From the very beginning, she kept us updated with photos, information, and everything we needed to feel confident and prepared. She personally transported our puppy to us, making the whole process smooth and stress-free. You can tell she truly cares about her dogs — our puppy is healthy, well-behaved, and so well adjusted. We couldn’t be happier and are so grateful to Kelly for ringing our puppy home!

    Fine Hill Aussies we're very responsive. When we arrived to pick up Luca, they provided a lot of information for not only our pup but tips on aussie pups in general. They even sent Luca home with toys and food. It was overall the best experience.
