I'm Teresa S., the breeder behind PaintedS Aussies located in Tennessee. We’re devoted to ensuring there are healthy puppies for others to enjoy and we do so by responsibly growing this incredible breed. We fell in love with the breed because of their intelligence and personality. There’s hardly a better feeling than being able to share them with other families that will love them the way that we do!

Teresa was a fantastic source for the breed. And very caring about the breeding of her dogs. They are truly her family. The pupies are raised with family, well socialized. Teresa truly cares about their future and health.
Fantastic experience.
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
