Knockout Aussies
Meet the breeder
I'm Nichole S., the breeder behind Knockout Aussies located in Canton, TX. I breed to preserve the unique characteristics of this breed while considering a variety of traits, including health, conformation, and temperament. I emphasize the proper socialization and training of my puppies, and strive to promote responsible dog ownership.
Q. & A. with Nichole
Why did you start breeding?
I had standard Aussies in college, and bought my first mini several years ago. He is a wonderful dog, but had some heath issues that could’ve been avoided with better breeding practices. I also wanted to show conformation dogs, and bought my first prospect in 2020.What makes your program special?
My dogs are like family. They are allowed in the house, they do tricks and play fetch, we enjoy showing, we go horseback riding, and some even get to sleep in the bed. Quality of life for my dogs is just as important as genetics, testing and showing good quality dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red tri-color, black tri, red merle, and blue merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
