Q. & A. with Kim

  • Why did you start breeding?

    When my husband & I married, 30 years ago, we loved our Aussies so much that we wanted others to experience the joy of owning an Aussie! We had our first litter and I was hooked!

  • What makes your program special?

    We LOVE our Aussies! They are a huge part of our family and follow us everywhere we go. ( Typical Aussie style!) I am committed to lifelong breeder support for all of our owners. We produce beautiful dogs and happy, healthy, and well-adjusted socialized puppies. Having an Aussie is the best experience in the world, and I want others to experience it!!

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include black, red merle, blue merle, and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    We've had a wonderful experience with Kerr Aussies. Kim has been very responsive, thoughtful. and accommodating. Our new pooch, Bandit, is handsome, well adjusted and healthy. We recently lost our sheltie after nearly 15 blessed years. Kim was very understanding and went above and beyond, giving us constant updates and keeping meticulous records of Bandit's development. Thank you so much, Kim. You've made us one happy family!
