As a first-time dog owner, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience than I had with Cindy and Rye Hill Aussies. From the very beginning, Cindy was incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making sure I felt prepared to bring my puppy home. She kept me updated throughout the entire process with photos and information, answered every question I had, and shared countless resources, recommendations, and training tips that made the transition so much easier. When I picked up my puppy, everything was organized, and they even sent me home with helpful supplies and any documents needed. My puppy was healthy, well-socialized, already doing great with potty training and recall, and it was obvious how much time and care had gone into raising her. One thing that impressed me most was that Cindy’s support didn’t stop after pickup. She continued checking in weeks and months later, and when I had a health scare and was feeling overwhelmed, she was right there helping me through it and making sure both my puppy and I were okay. That level of care meant the world to me. This has truly been one of the best experiences of my life, and I couldn’t imagine getting my first dog from anyone else. Cindy and her husband made the entire process seamless and enjoyable, and it’s clear they genuinely love and care for every puppy they raise. I would recommend Rye Hill Aussies to anyone looking for an ethical, caring, and knowledgeable breeder, and I absolutely plan on coming back for another puppy in the future.

Cindy was so kind! She has the most beautiful puppies and we are so in love with our Aurora girl! She sent me updates and photos and videos until we were able to take her home. She worked with us when we couldn’t pick her up right away due to our house flooding and always answered our questions with kindness and knowledge. We love our puppy from her and would recommend her 100 times over!

From the beginning Cindy was very quick with responses and answered any and all questions/ concerns I had. She was very detailed in her answers to my questions even sharing links on products I had questions about. She was very forthcoming about her dogs medical records etc. I could tell that Cindy really took great care of her dogs. She was even willing to meet me in a location that would be closer to me than her current location. We absolutely adore our new puppy!

Also, I could tell he came from a great place. He has THE best personality and he was very well socialized! I would most definitely recommend Cindy and Rye Hill Aussies!

We had such a great experience with Cindy and would highly recommend her! From the very beginning, she was quick to respond, knowledgeable, caring, and helpful. She answered all of our questions and sent pictures/updates frequently so, we felt bonded with our pup before we even met her in person! Our puppy, Remi, came home healthy, happy, and already doing well with socializing and house training. It was very apparent that Cindy cares about her dogs/puppies and gives them a wonderful start in life. We’re so thankful for our sweet pup and would definitely recommend Rye Hill Aussies to anyone!

I cannot say enough good things about Cindy and Rye Hill Aussies!!! I sent her a message through gooddog.com inquiring about one of her puppies, and she responded almost instantly with all of the information I had requested. I started following her on Facebook, Instagram and her website. It was quite obvious how well she takes of her adult dogs and puppies! I looked forward everyday to learning of the puppies new adventures. We made a deposit on one of the puppies and Cindy kept in regular contact with us, providing pictures and videos of our newest family member. We met Cindy to pick up our puppy from her and she gave us the sweetest going home puppy pack! It has provided so much helpful information for us, and even included so many treats, toys, a blanket and other assorted items. Our new puppy has been an absolute delight and I will never go any place else if we ever need to get another Aussie! We’ve had the best experience with Cindy and I cannot recommend her enough! Our puppy is the sweetest girl on the planet and has such an incredible and funny personality! Thank you Cindy! Your knowledge and care that you have with your dogs is amazing and it shows!
