Meet the breeder

I'm Rachel F., the breeder behind R & C Kennels located in Buna, TX. We raise our litters in our home to help set the foundation for happy and confident puppies to transition well into their forever homes. It’s a privilege to have the opportunity to make an impact on each individual puppy!

Q. & A. with Rachel

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I have always loved creating new life and always loved mini aussies. It has been a dream of mine for a very long time and I'm greatful I'm in a position to do my passion.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Matched dogs

These dogs are already reserved or have gone home.

Getting a puppy from Rachel

Rachel has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.

After buyers complete the application and screening process, Rachel partners with them to find the best puppy match.

“I will tell you everything I can about the puppies personalities and I leave it to you to know what your family needs. The younger they are the less I can tell you. Mini Aussies in general are loyal dogs. They love to be with their people as much as possible. They do require exercise but do also love to chill on the couch. ”

Price

Puppy prices include a $300 non-refundable deposit and $250 final payment, before taxes & fees.
Pay over time with Klarna.

“All pricing is for pet only. If you’re interested in full registration, we can discuss that separately. Full registration is considered on a case-by-case basis and requires an additional fee of $300. Feel free to reach out if you want more details on this option. To hold your puppy, I require a $300 deposit. This deposit is non-refundable but can be transferred to a different puppy if needed. Once the deposit is received, your puppy will be reserved for you.”

Contract & health guarantee

Rachel may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Rachel offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don't hesitate to reach out to Rachel directly.
