I'm Sue K., the breeder behind Just Plain Aussies located in Nottawa, MI. My dogs are bred to work stock. They make great, active companions, working dogs, agility dogs, and all-around farm dogs. I breed healthy, beautiful puppies. I take my job seriously, knowing that my puppies will become someone's beloved pet. Each puppy is considered a member of my family, and I ensure they are socialized, healthy, and prepared to excel in their forever homes.

Why did you start breeding?
My love for Aussies inspired me to share this breed with the world in a responsible way. I devote my time, energy, and attention to each litter to ensure puppies get the best start in life.
