Meet the breeder

I'm Lakeisha D., the breeder behind Good Karma Aussies located in Charlotte, NC. We decided to start breeding to share the best possible puppies with excellent personalities, temperament, and most of all health! Our love for our dogs pushed us to begin breeding. We love to see the results of our efforts in the happy, and healthy puppies that we’re able to share with others.

Q. & A. with Lakeisha

  • What makes your program special?

    I have 15+ years in emergency veterinary medicine, giving me hands-on experience to monitor health, behavior, and development from day one. I raise Australian Shepherds for their intelligence, loyalty, and loving nature, focusing on early socialization, gentle handling, and observing each puppy’s personality to produce happy, confident, and well-adjusted companions ready for loving homes.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include red merle, blue merle, and black tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Getting a puppy from Lakeisha

Lakeisha has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.

After buyers complete the application and screening process, Lakeisha partners with them to find the best puppy match.

“Our Puppy Matching Process 🐾 At Good Karma Aussies, we believe every puppy deserves the right home, and every family deserves the right match. Because each puppy develops a unique personality, energy level, confidence, and temperament, placements are based on best fit—not just color or markings. We take time to get to know our families, including lifestyle, activity level, household dynamics, dog experience, goals (companion, active lifestyle, sports, family pet), and preferences. As puppies grow, we evaluate: ✨ Temperament & personality ✨ Energy level and drive ✨ Confidence and social tendencies ✨ Family compatibility ✨ Potential for sports, adventure, or companion homes While we do our best to honor preferences for color, sex, and markings, temperament and overall fit are prioritized to help ensure long-term success for both puppy and family. We stay in close communication throughout the process with photos, updates, and guidance to help families feel confident about their match. Our goal is for each puppy to go to a loving home where they can thrive for life. Please note: We reserve the right to decline placement if we feel a home is not the best fit for one of our puppies. This decision is always made with the puppy’s long-term wellbeing in mind.”

    Verified owner · Jan. 2026

    Lakeisha made the entire process incredibly smooth from start to finish. She guided us through every step and made sure we always felt supported and informed. Throughout the process, she regularly updated us with messages, photos and the progress of our puppy. Those updates meant so much to us! Ziggy (Drako) has added so much happiness to our lives. He is a playful, energetic and loving puppy and we can’t get enough of him and his personality. He is exactly as Lakeisha described him. Ziggy is a perfect addition to our family. When we received our Ziggy he was spotless, healthy and clearly raised in a nurturing environment. We truly appreciated how well she takes care of the puppies and you can see the love, time, and attention each puppy gets before they go to their forever homes. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to work with, we are beyond grateful! Her 15+ years in experience in veterinary care adds peace of mind when it comes to the puppies health care. You would not be disappointed in working with Lakeisha!
