I'm Jess C., the breeder behind Jess's Aussies located in Elgin, SC. Our pups are home-raised. We put a lot of care into socializing them so they can transition easily into their new lives. Raising puppies has been so much fun, although we take our role in raising them seriously. Breeding has helped us share the joy of our dogs with other families and individuals.
Q. & A. with Jess
Why did you start breeding?
My mom was the breeder to my dam and I liked helping her with the process raising and finding homes for the pups.
What makes your program special?
We're in a neighborhood and have poultry so the puppies will have experience with a little of both city and farm life in one.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include 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.
