Meet the breeder

I'm Kellye M., the breeder behind TK Standard, Mini, & Toy Aussies located in Nacogdoches, TX. We are family owned and operated. Our animals are part of our family. Each of our Australian Shepherd's have provided us with happiness, each with their own unique personalities. Our family started raising Aussie's as companions, but it turned into something much more than that. We are always looking at ways to improve our program with each and every litter.

    Kellye was wonderful to work with. From day 1 of Jasper’s birth until his gotcha day, I received weekly updates and/or pictures. When I had additional questions, she responded usually within a short period of time. TK Aussies provided me with a pup that was socialized, loved and great looking. The ease of going thru Good Dog was also a plus.

    Kellye with TK Breeders was great ! We got a toy Aussie (Adale ) and she is wonderful a healthy, happy,beautiful puppy . Thank you .

    Stephanie D.

    Verified owner · Nov. 2025

    Kellye has always been tremendously responsive and made this process stress free and easy. However, beyond that, I want to touch on both of the beautiful babies we have gotten from TK Aussies. Pepper was our first baby/experience with TK Aussies. She is certainly a spicy pup, but was and is an absolutely delightful addition to our family. She’s so intelligent and sweet in her own spicy way. She revitalized our family after the tragically sudden death of our previous dog, Lucy. Once we knew we were ready to add a male puppy to our family, there was zero discussion, we were going to come to Kellye. Shiner has blended so well with Pepper, and it’s obvious they are going to be best friends. I cannot thank Kellye and the TK family enough for these two beautiful souls.

    We had a fantastic experience working with Kellye! From the very beginning, she was incredibly knowledgeable and responsive—always happy to answer our many questions about our puppy, Lucy (Encore). She clearly puts a lot of care and intention into her breeding program, and it shows. Lucy came to us healthy, well-socialized, and with an impressively calm temperament for a young puppy. She slept really well through her first night in her new home, is already picking up on potty training, and has been such a sweet and easy addition to our home. The pickup process was smooth and stress-free, and Kellye was even flexible in meeting us at a convenient location. We’re so grateful for the wonderful start Lucy got—highly recommend Kellye if you’re looking for a breeder who truly does things the right way.
