Meet the breeder

I'm Kelli L., the breeder behind Royal Hawaiian Aussies LLC located in Kamuela On The Big Island, HI. As a preservation breeder, I'm committed to preserving this amazing breed. All of my breeding dogs are extensively health tested and I prioritize the overall health and temperament of each of my puppies to ensure that they are loved and well cared for before joining their forever Ohana.

Q. & A. with Kelli

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I grew up in Hawaii with Australian Shepherds and have owned Miniature American Shepherds since 2007. I have a lot of experience with this intelligent breed and love everything that this breed has to offer.
  • What makes your program special?

    Breeding healthy dogs and puppies is a lifestyle and large investment of time and money when done right in order to preserve and better the breed. My breeding dogs are temperament tested, mentally stable and sound, and have completed health clearances for OFA hips, elbows, patellas, and genetic DNA. I spend time planning every litter to produce healthy, happy and versatile puppies. I work with passion, heart, and integrity when helping puppy parents find the right match and I love keeping in touch and being a lifelong support for our extended puppy parent Ohana.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Getting a puppy from Kelli

Together, you’ll choose the puppy that’s right for you, stay in touch with regular updates, and plan how to bring your new puppy home.

Price

Puppy prices include a $500 deposit and -$500 final payment, before taxes & fees.

“All of our puppies come with a health guarantee, vet record, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, microchipped, started on heart worm and flea prevention medication, & their parents have all appropriate genetic DNA, Hip, Elbow, & Patella health clearances completed to help us ensure that we are producing only the healthiest puppies possible. The non-refundable reservation fee is designed to ensure serious inquiries and commitment from prospective buyers.

    Kelli at Royal Hawaiian Aussies is absolutely amazing! She’s easy to communicate with; being transparent and open from the get-go. Kelli makes bringing your furbaby home seamlessly easy! Our furbaby, Harley is just the best! Kelli puts in a lot of time, love and effort into her pups and her passion for them shows! Harley is confident, affectionate, smart not to mention the easiest puppy I have EVER owned. Kelli made the transition from breeder to forever home effortless. The knowledge she shares, basically sets you up for puppy success at home!! She also starts most of the basic training (potty, crate, leash-walking). All we had to do was provide LOVE & that we absolutely do!! Can you believe we actually got an entire nights sleep on the very first night- AMAZING! He has best appetite, not skipping a beat on meals! After 2 weeks home, he almost perfect on potty training too! He fit so perfectly into our family. I couldn’t ask for anything more! Thank you Kelli for everything!!
