Q. & A. with Kimberly

Why did you start breeding?
As a teenager my family raised Miniature Schnauzers. I was an active member of the whelping to socialization process of the puppies. I also had a few litters of Cocker Spainels before starting my own human family. Since then I found "My Breed" and I have owned nothing since, from my own kids showing in 4-H (obedience and agility) to me now in the show ring with my Aussies.
What makes your program special?
Our dogs are family first, and our puppies are raised with love, hands-on care, and plenty of socialization to help them grow into confident, well-rounded companions. Carefully selected pedigrees, comprehensive health & genetic testing, and a commitment to the breed, our goal is to produce exceptional Aussies who will thrive as beloved family members, performance partners, & lifelong companions.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red merle, blue merle, black tri-color, and red tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Khaos, mom
Australian Shepherd
About Khaos
Khaos — The Little Bit of Khaos Everyone Loves! Every great adventure needs a little Khaos… and Kaptivated By Khaos brings just the right amount! From the moment she entered the world, Khaos has been a dog with a purpose. Beautiful, clever, and always ready for the next challenge, she embodies everything we love about the Australian Shepherd breed. She has the brains to learn, the heart to please, and just enough mischief to keep life exciting! In the Conformation ring, Khaos has earned her titles by showcasing the breed standard with her stunning structure, movement, and presence. She turns heads wherever she goes, proving that beauty and brains truly can come together in one amazing dog. But Khaos is not a dog who is content just looking beautiful—she loves having a job! Her natural prey drive and eagerness to work have led her to success in multiple performance venues. She has earned titles in Coursing Ability Test (CAT), FastCAT, and Barn Hunt, where her enthusiasm for the hunt shines through. Those sneaky barn hunt rats don’t stand much of a chance when Khaos is on the job! Her athletic spirit continues as she explores new challenges in Agility, and she has also enjoyed experiences in Herding and Dock Diving. Whether she is racing, searching, learning, or competing, Khaos gives everything she has. But behind the athlete is a loving companion with a big personality. Khaos loves exploring the woods, splashing through the water, kayaking with her family, and enjoying the simple pleasures of life. After a day of adventure, she is perfectly content relaxing with her favorite people and reminding everyone that belly rubs are always a good idea—especially now that she has a growing belly full of puppies! Khaos is the perfect blend of beauty, brains, and bravery. She is quick to learn, eager to work, and always ready to make memories. Her confident spirit, athletic ability, and sweet personality are qualities we hope she shares with her puppies. This will be Khaos’s second and final litter, making these puppies a very special opportunity. Her first puppies captured hearts, and we expect this next generation to carry on her amazing qualities.
