Meet the breeder

I'm Kelly T., the breeder behind Itty Bitty Aussies located in Brentwood, CA. Our Toy Aussies are raised right in the heart of our home and ranch, where they’re loved on daily by our family. We are dedicated to producing healthy, well-rounded puppies with calm, smart temperaments. Our goal is to raise confident, loving companions that fit seamlessly into family life.

Q. & A. with Kelly

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I got into breeding because I truly fell head over heels in love with Toy Aussies. Their perfect size, beautiful colors, intelligence, and friendly, outgoing personalities captured my heart. My goal is to carry on these amazing traits and give others the opportunity to experience the joy of owning one.
  • What makes your program special?

    My breeding program is built on love and purpose. I raise my Toy Aussies in a hands-on family environment where they are socialized daily and treated as part of the family. I carefully focus on maintaining their beautiful traits—size, intelligence, and friendly, outgoing personalities—so each puppy grows into a happy, well-adjusted companion.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

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

    They live in my home.

    I had a wonderful experience adopting Nico Peri (Howie). Kelly was incredibly quick to respond, knowledgeable about the breed, and made the entire application process simple and seamless. She stayed in touch and sent regular updates about my puppy before he came home, which I so appreciated. I’m so happy with Nico Peri! He is sweet, funny, playful, and active. He is already almost completely potty trained and is catching onto basic commands quickly. tip for future owners: they can have intense attachment personalities! He’s quite the vocal escape artist. I highly recommend investing in a fully enclosed crate and a larger playpen for training. Overall, an amazing breeder and a wonderful puppy!
