Kimmerly Aussies
Meet the breeder
I'm Kim T., the breeder behind Kimmerly Aussies located in St. Louis, MO. Our dogs are our family. They are raised in our home and allowed to sleep on the bed. We compete in agility with them. Aurora has qualified for the AKC Agility Nationals for the last 4 years in a row and has competed at them the last 3 years. Chance qualified in 2022 and 2023. This year he finished as the Number 2 Australian Shepherd in his division. We also compete in dock diving. Our goal in breeding and raising Aussies is to better the breed and provide families with a well adjusted puppy ready to compete in any venue or just to hold the couch down. We raise our puppies in our home and follow Puppy Culture Protocols to give them the strongest start in life possible. We provide lifetime support and guidance to our puppy families. For our local families, we also keep your puppy in case you need to go out of town.
Q. & A. with Kim
Why did you start breeding?
After bringing our female over from Slovakia, we decided we wanted to raise quality Aussies that were not only gorgeous but were capable of competing in any venue possible along with having an “Off Switch”.What makes your program special?
We raise our Aussies in our home and follow Puppy Culture Protocol including ENS (Early Neurological Stimulation). Our puppies are loved on daily, socialized with all different people, and exposed to various environments.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red & white, black & white, 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.
