I'm Kelly P., the breeder behind Keyzee Aussies located in Tavernier, FL. Our dogs are bred for health, temperament, and intelligence. We strive to produce the best overall pets and family members. Raising puppies has been so much fun, although we take our role in raising them seriously. Breeding has helped us share the joy of our dogs with other families and individuals.
Q. & A. with Kelly
Why did you start breeding?
I got into breeding in the 90's when my family owned a duck farm and we used the dogs as herding as well as protection for the ducks - I mainly bred Pits and Malinois. Now I breed Mini Aussies :)
What makes your program special?
My dogs are my buddies, they are well worked, well loved and very well fed (they eat better than me).
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
