Meet the breeder

I'm Kelly C., the breeder behind Out West Aussies located in Warm Springs, GA. I raise my litters with Puppy Culture, Sound Training and ENS. I was doing ENS and Sound Training before I joined the PC craze. My dogs can be happy anywhere – in the show ring, at home, or on the couch.

Q. & A. with Kelly

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I was still running my dogs in agility and wondered where my next performance dog was gonna come from. Had all the testing done on both parents, both had points in NADAC. The temperament of those 2 dogs was what started it all. They could go all out and then come inside and relax. They had an OFF switch. These qualities are still important to me. Temperament is first and foremost.
  • What makes your program special?

    All my adults are extensively health tested and bred for temperament and structure. I rotate dogs around between the kennel and in my house. We also have a "no rules roundpen" where everyone can go and let off steam!
  • 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 and a kennel on my property.
