Meet the breeder

I'm Bridgid N., the breeder behind Helix Aussies located in Kearney, NE. ​My puppies are raised to be fantastic companions who will be happy, confident and fun to live with. I want you to have the best start with your new life! I focus on positive, appropriate socialization that includes potty training, crate training, grooming, lots of people, agility and play equipment, and so much more. I'm an active member of our local kennel club and serve on the Club's board as Vice President. All of my dogs live in my house and are a part of my daily life. My puppies are raised this way as well. You can also count on my support forever!

Q. & A. with Bridgid

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My first Aussie, Owen, came into my life when I graduated from college, and I've been privileged to share my life with this amazing breed ever since! It is my passion to breed these incredible dogs and help ensure the future of the Australian Shepherds.
  • What makes your program special?

    My dogs should be able to compete in AKC/ASCA conformation, agility, obedience, rally, and herding. My dogs work hard, play hard, love hard, and are part of the family. I prepare all of my pups to excel in life. I can provide extensive knowledge and guidance for any family looking to bring home one of these wonderful dogs.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include black, red merle, blue merle, and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
