I'm Kelly L., the breeder behind KC Aussies TN located in Quebeck, TN. We love our Australian Shepherds and can’t wait to share this amazing breed with your family!

Q. & A. with Kelly
Why did you start breeding?
My parents had Aussies when I was growing up. They were our farm dogs and family pets. They would raise a litter from time to time to carry on the working lines. I cannot remember a time that I have not had an Aussie in my home. Now my husband and kids have fallen in love with the breed as well. We love our dogs and this breed, and love sharing them with other families.
What makes your program special?
The longevity of our program. We have had the grandparents and great grand parents of our puppies in our family. We are very selective of the lines we continue and the new lines we bring into our program to ensure healthy, high quality, breed standard puppies with the best temperament and personality. And these dogs are our forever pets, not just breeding dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black & white, blue merle, red, and black tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
