Meet the breeder

I'm Lacey M., the breeder behind Rutland Aussies located in Independence, KS. We are not a big breeder, the parents are our loved family pets & the pups are raised in our home. They are UTD on shots/worming before picked up & have many different opportunities for new activities & sounds throughout their short time with us. Both parents have calm temperaments & great coloring.

Q. & A. with Lacey

Why did you start breeding?
Friends asked for puppies - we gave them puppies. Now her 2nd litter is up for adoption. Not a big breeder. A family who loves dogs and wants others to love them too.
What makes your program special?
We have nothing special about us except for love. The puppies are in the middle of our life, everyday. They are exposed to other dogs, family & friends, everyday household noises, trips to the vet & other car rides to help with balance & travel wellness. They get outside time when weather permits to help "ground" them & start their love for the outside. Ball & toy play is also started early.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red & white, blue merle, black tri, and red merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
