    Kelly is an absolute gem of a human and the care she gives her pups is incredible. This is our second puppy from Kelly. We acquired our first Aussie from Royal Aussie’s 4 years ago and he is an absolute delight to the family. Killian (Lucian) is shaping to be a much needed addition to our family. Kelly is responsive to messaging and she truly cares about finding the right fit for her pups. She gives thorough insight on energy expectations, feeding, and other care needed for a great start to puppy ownership. If you are looking for an Aussie that will change your life, look no further than Kelly at Royal Aussies. Kelly thank you for a second wonderful pup, we are so in love.

    Kelly is an amazing person inside and out! She is extremely knowledgeable of the breed and you can tell she loves her dogs. She’s extremely responsive and always has picture updates of all the babies! Kelly hand delivered our sweet baby on Christmas for my kids. Our sweet Gemma is the perfect addition to our family and has the best temperament. She came to us well socialized and was such a fast learner. I couldn’t be more grateful to Kelly for breeding these amazing pups, I don’t know what we’d do without our sweet Gemma!

    We adopted Shadow (formerly ‘Pepper’) from Kelly, and it was the best decision we’ve ever made! Living in California, we fell in love with Shadow on the GoodDog app, and Kelly went above and beyond to answer every single question we had. This was our first time purchasing a puppy that wasn’t from a shelter, so I was initially hesitant about the process, especially flying our puppy over. However, Kelly made the experience so smooth, memorable, and stress-free. She was incredibly kind, super responsive, and genuinely passionate about what she does. Her love for her dogs shines through in how well-cared-for and socialized the puppies are. As first-time puppy owners in our own home, we had so many questions, and Kelly patiently guided us every step of the way. She gave us detailed advice on everything—what supplies we’d need, the kibble she feeds her puppies, how much to feed, and even tips on exposure and socialization. Even after bringing Shadow home, Kelly stayed connected, and I still send her pictures of him as he grows. She truly cares about the puppies and their families, and we’re so grateful for her guidance and support. Shadow has brought so much joy to our family, and we can’t thank Kelly enough for making this such an incredible experience. I highly recommend Kelly to anyone looking for a loving, reputable breeder!
