    I can't thank them enough, my girl (Gilly) is simply wonderful! Silverside was an awesome experience even after the sale. They made a tough decision pretty easy and still provide support weeks later. Thank you for one Aussie, extra awesome

    Artemis is my first puppy and I am so glad that I chose to get her through Silverside Aussies! From all the helpful information on their website to the advice Silverside gave me on Gotcha Day, Silverside really helped me through every step of the way. They were also so accommodating, even rescheduling pickup time on Gotcha Day when other commitments I had going on that day ended early. Artemis is such a gorgeous and gregarious girl, she is such a wonderful addition to my family and I am so enthused for the years to come!

    This was my first time using Good Dog as well as working directly with a breeder. My experience was positive all the way around. The only thing I didn't quit like were the extra fees Good Dog charges and if you decide to skip any of their policies/steps, "they can't help you". So please read other reviews and and make sure you have extra funds to cover your investment. Now Lynn was amazing!! Answered my questions and concerns, super friendly during Gotcha Day. The only thing I didn't like about Silverside was that I wasn't able to meet the puppies before making a deposit or anytime after. It's like you pick one and that's what you get. Before you crucify me, I understand the breeder has a right to protect their animals, families, and whatever else. It just made it a little harder on me, because the nugget I choose is a little bananas. Definitely not a calm one. Lol! It's been almost a month; we're finally figuring out our pecking order. Overall I'm happy and would do it again.

    Our experience with Silverside Aussies was amazing, from start to finish. She kept us continuously updated with pictures and milestones for Finn and he is an amazing puppy! He is fitting in so well, with the family and the neighborhood. He's 11 weeks today and he's growing like a weed! We absolutely adore him🥰

    Working with Silverside Aussies was such a smooth process. They are incredibly responsive and keep you updated from the time you choose your puppy to the time you pick them up. Their puppies are so beautiful! We got the sweetest little guy and we couldn't love him more! We highly recommend working with Silverside Aussies.

    I’m a first time puppy owner and came across Silverside Aussies online just simply searching for breeders close to where I live. Their website is very user friendly, organized, easy to navigate, and is always updated with new info about the puppies. When I placed my deposit and reserved my pup, the whole process went so smoothly! I would get weekly pup dates and pictures of my girl, Marigold, through google photos which definitely settled all of the anticipation I was having with waiting months to meet her. It felt like I already knew her with how frequently I would get updated pics and videos of her playing. If I had any questions or concerns, I could message the breeder via Google photos or text the breeder and receive a reply almost instantly, if not within 24hrs. She was always very prompt with responses and was genuinely so wonderful to work with. Silverside Aussies is definitely a trusted breeder. They were very transparent with everything. She gifted me the best thing I could ever ask for, and you can genuinely see how much she cares not only for her pups but for her customers too. My partner and I definitely plan on adopting another Aussie from Silver Side Aussies in the future.
