    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!

    Working with Rachel at Joe’s Aussies was such a wonderful experience. We adopted our sweet puppy, Greta (Violet), and she has fit perfectly into our family from day one. Our other dogs absolutely love her, and her sweet, vibrant personality has made her the perfect addition to our family. Rachel was amazing to work with — always responsive to messages and calls, and you can truly tell how much she loves and cares for her Aussies. We are so thankful for Greta and couldn’t imagine our family without her now!

    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! 🍀
