Victoria was very responsive and knowledgeable. I was talking to another breeder when I found Victoria page, she made me feel extremely comfortable with this process. It’s been about a month & our little pup is the perfect addition!

Hi Victoria,
Winnie has settled right in like she has always lived here. She is such a happy puppy and an absolute joy to have her in our life.
She is very intelligent and already minds pretty well. We took about a half mile walk around the property tonight and she was having a blast. Our friends brought their dog over and they hit it off right away.
I will get some outdoor pics for you

I had such a wonderful experience with Victoria! She was incredibly responsive from the very beginning, answering all my questions with patience and providing detailed information. When I asked about the DNA testing and health history of my pup’s parents/grandparents, she went the extra mile to look it up and ensure I had everything I needed to feel confident in my decision.
The process of reserving my puppy was seamless—she was so accommodating when I placed my deposit and worked with my schedule for pick-up. It’s clear she truly cares about her dogs and finding the right homes for them. I couldn’t be happier with my new pup or the support I received throughout the process. I highly recommend Victoria with River Bend Mini Aussies to anyone looking for a reputable and caring breeder!
