    I recently purchased a puppy from Rachel, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! Rachel was absolutely phenomenal in her communication throughout the entire process. Buying a puppy from a distance can feel daunting, but Rachel made me feel secure and confident every step of the way. She provided frequent updates about Lara, including photos and videos, which kept me excited and reassured about my new furry friend. When Lara arrived, she was in perfect health, and her amazing DNA speaks for itself—she’s a beautiful, vibrant pup with a wonderful temperament. Rachel’s care and dedication to her puppies are truly exceptional. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a healthy, happy puppy! Thanl you Rachel and Family for the amazing experince!

    We started the task of deciding on a puppy as a family and when we saw Pepper on the Good Dog website, we immediately reached out to Rachel. She was very responsive and didn't mind me asking many questions...goodness knows I had a lot. She was very flexible on pick-up time and worked with us on the date for pickup as we were out of town. I would fully recommend working with Jo's Aussie! We are so happy with our little Pepper!

    We got our Aussie puppy Clover from Rachel at Jo’s Aussie and we absolutely adore her. She is the sweetest puppy ever and we can tell she was loved and well cared for. She has adjusted so well to our home and our family. We have a ten year old son with ADHD and she has been amazing with and for him. She is so smart and is quickly learning different commands. She has added such warmth to our home and our lives and we love her so much. Rachel was also amazing and made the process of getting our puppy so easy and pleasant. Thank you Rachel for our sweet Clover! 🍀

    Jo's Aussies loves their dogs and puts the time and effort into making sure you're a good match. We love our service dog candidate Rhett - he is attentive, loving, athletic, polite, intelligent, confident, calm, and kind. He is the demonstration dog at his puppy classes due to his incredible temperament. I love him so deeply, and it all starts with the love Rachel puts into her dogs. If you're lucky enough to be considered for her puppies, I couldn't recommend moving forward more and would be happy to provide further information on our terrific experience.
