Meet the breeder
I'm Maryjo T., the breeder behind Kickin K Aussies - NC located in Shelby, NC. We are very fortunate with the parent matches in our program. Our dogs are very agile, loyal, alert, highly intelligent and very lively. Not to mention devoted. They’ve been well round, indoor and outdoor. Our pups homes are and have been very proud. Some families over the years actually have 2/3 of KickingK’s puppies. It’s been a Blessing. We continue connections, get updates as well as wonderful photos and videos. I have no doubt having a pup from our program will be the Best decision when it comes to the perfect pet. They are amazing!! We are always available for our new families!

+4I'm so glad I found MaryJo through Good Dog. As we prepared to pick up our girl, Maryjo shared all health updates and sent pictures & video regularly as she grew and learned basic commands. MaryJo also prepped a huge puppy bundle for our pick-up date - sending us home with treats, collar & leash, food, toys, and a blanket that smelled like mom. It made the ride home and the transition for our pup so much easier! The entire process from reservation to pickup was so easy, and our puppy Indie is happy, healthy, and getting along great with her new fur siblings. She is a little seed of joy in our home :)
