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.

Q. & A. with Kellye

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I found great mentors to guide me! It has helped me build a network of responsible breeders that I can call on for advice at any time. I also developed a philosophy to do what is best for the buyer and to breed with integrity.
  • What makes your program special?

    We specialize in making sure that each of our babies is matched with the perfect family. With each breeding, we strive to protect and promote a purebred quality dog. We strive to improve with every litter with genetics and breed characteristics.

    Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

    Our Australian Shepherd puppies include black, red merle, blue merle, and red. Miniature American Shepherd puppies include red tri-color, black tri, red merle, and blue merle.

    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.

    Working with Kelley was absolutely amazing. She sent us regular updates and we loved getting pictures leading up to us getting our girl. Hera is amazing and is already showing us how smart she is. Potty training is coming at an ease and she could sit on command within a day of us having her. I couldn’t recommend TK Aussies enough!

    We loved our experience with Kellye. We looked forward to our weekly updates/pictures along the way. Kellye was there to answer any questions and made the process so easy. Our little pup has been a wonderful addition to our family.

    Verified owner · July 2025

    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.

    We had a wonderful experience with Kelley, Kennedy and Grace from an opportunity to meet prior to our commitment, to selecting the parents, then the birth of our little pup and final handoff. The level of communication preparing us for the future pup coming home but the excitement it generated within our home. I know when we are ready for our second Aussie, we will be contacting them. We are very happy with our little puppy, Skipper who will be going sailing with us one day!

    “Working with Kellye when getting our puppy was the best experience! She was exceptional with sharing updates/information to help prepare us for bringing our puppy home! Once we picked up our baby, we knew he came from a loving and positive environment! He does great socially and is learning very quickly, we also get many compliments on him! Kellye still checks in after bringing our puppy home and is helpful with any questions or concerns we might have. We could not recommend working with Kellye and her family enough, it was an overall great experience and we would do it again!!!
