Meet the breeder
I'm Denny & Paula N., the breeder behind R and B Aussies located in California, KY. We are pet owners first and foremost. All of our puppies are raised as members of our family until they’re ready to join yours. We are a retired couple who fell in love with the standard Australian Shepherd breed later in life. We are striving for optimum health, intelligence, and even temperament in our breeding program. Our two grandchildren assist in the care and socialization of our dogs.
Q. & A. with Denny & Paula
Why did you start breeding?
We have 2 friends that are breeders of the Australian Shepherd, standard and mini here locally in Kentucky. We have the time and resources to have a few litters. Our grandkids absolutely loved when we would bring a new puppy home. We now have our first litter of puppies and they are with them almost everyday. Kids and puppies just seem to go together with the love they share.What makes your program special?
We purchased all of our dogs as puppies from reputable breeders. We know how they were raised and the care that was involved in doing so. We think we have a good balance of traits for the breed. We have had genetic testing on all of our dogs to make sure puppies will be healthy and strong. If our first litter is any indication we are on the right track.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red merle, blue merle, black tri-color, and red tri-color. 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.

+6Denny & Paula an absolute pleasure to work with, knowledgeable about the breed, super responsive and we will definitely be going to them first the next time we're looking for another Aussie. We've had Stella for about three weeks now and she's such a doll. She's got a great temperament, gets along well with everyone and is a great addition to our family.

+4Denny & Paula were great, they kept us up to date on Pluto (and we even saw the other puppies, mom & dad). We were welcomed into their home because we are local to them, visited with Pluto a few times before he came home to us. They were knowledgeable, kind, friendly and honest about the breed. We connected with them and were very pleased with them and how they treated their dogs and puppies. We had an excellent experience with R&B Aussies and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a new aussie puppy! We are so in love with ours!

Working with Denny and Paula to get our new puppy was an amazing experience from start to finish. They were incredibly responsive and always got back to me super quickly whenever I had questions. Since I live nearby, they were kind enough to let me visit and spend time with the puppies, which meant so much and really helped with the decision. They were helpful, transparent, and genuinely cared about both the puppies and the families they were going to. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a new puppy.

Denny & Paula were great to work with finding our newest family member. They answered so many questions up front and sent weekly updates on the puppies throughout the process. You could tell they cared about the dogs and future owners. The puppies were kept clean and happy. The process was easy through GoodDog. If you're looking for a great couple who loves Aussies and share that love through their puppies, look no further than Denny and Paula at R & B Aussies.

I could not recommend enough how amazing it was to work with Denny and Paula! They were the most kind, trustworthy, and helpful breeders we’ve ever met. This process can be stressful going into good dog, but we’re so blessed we saw them on here and just felt so safe with their profile. Immediately after our initial call, we knew we were in great hands. They love those pups so much and took the best care of them. Our little Archie is the cutest, most lovable little boy and they made the process feel like such a breeze. They were so responsive and so kind while also giving us all the information and background questions we needed. They answered our never ending questions with such kindness, patience, and knowledge. They went above and beyond even being the most welcoming in their own home when we first arrived and we could not appreciate it enough! We can’t thank them enough and genuinely are the best recommendation we could ever give. We will definitely be letting our friends and family know they are a great breeder to work with and are in the best hands out there!
