Tiffany was so easy to work with. She answered all my questions throughout the process and was incredibly flexible with my schedule upon pickup. From the moment I first reached out, she was quick to reply, clear, and patient while I took the time to decide. They genuinely care about their dogs, and it shows in every step of the process. Milo is socialized, confident, and clearly well-loved. His health check was flawless, and his temperament is exactly what was promised—sweet, playful, and intelligent. It's obvious they prioritize health, temperament, and placing their dogs in the best environments. The adoption process itself was effortless and straightforward. I received detailed instructions, all the necessary paperwork (health guarantees, vet records, AKC paperwork and great resources for training and care). There were no surprises, and I felt supported every step of the way. If you're looking for a responsible breeder who makes the journey of finding your perfect companion stress-free, look no further! I couldn't be happier with my new family member.

We got our puppy healthy and full of energy. Tiffany was very flexible with scheduling our meetup and even went to our hotel to hand our puppy themselves. She bathed Summer (our puppy) before our meetup so she came in fresh and very fluffy!

Tiffany was wonderful. She kept us updated on our new family member and was so patient and knowledgeable. And our new puppy, Shadow, is incredible. She came to us at 10 weeks, and was already house-trained; comes when called; and hasn’t left my side. She was obviously well cared-for and loved. I would highly recommend Tiffany and Shelter Cove Aussies to anyone looking for that special companion.

Tiffany did a lot to ease our fears about the puppy as we have had bad experiences in the past. Our little guy is so full of light and happy! Tiffany took us through everything we needed and needed to know about our puppy for success. We are so grateful to have him home. He’s perfect!
