Meet the breeder
I'm Kelley E., the breeder behind Hoot's Aussies located in Smith Valley, NV. Our dogs are our family! They live in our home, with us, and enjoy running the property when we are out with the horses. We believe that being able to share our lives with animals is a blessing, and put a tremendous amount of effort into ensuring that our puppy buyers are getting the best!
Q. & A. with Kelley
What makes your program special?
In order for a pup to be a loving member of your family, it has to love people and desire to be. That's our job! Our puppies are born and raised in our home, and we spend countless hours showering them with love and attention, and exposing them to many things life has to offer!What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black & white, 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.

“All puppies go home with dual limited registration applications, AKC and ASCA, first shots, deworming record and having had a wellness exam performed by our licensed veterinarian. Because we accept a limited number of deposits, our deposits are non-refundable. However, we understand that life happens and are more than happy to carry a deposit over to a subsequent litter in those situations.”
