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 of doing what is best for the buyer and breeding with integrity. The overall care, health, and well-being of the parents is our number one priority, and placing our puppies in loving homes!
  • 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. We use Puppy Culture and Bad A$$ Breeder Program to provide our puppies with the best opportunities to be successful in their new home.
  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies include blue merle, red merle, red, and black. Toy Australian Shepherd puppies include red, black, blue merle, and red merle.

    Kellye was amazing throughout the entire process. From me reaching out months ago just asking questions to picking up my puppy, she was quick to respond to every inquiry. She kept me updated through every step of the journey including pictures weekly and health updates as needed. We got our little guy, Bodie, less than a week ago and he is adapting so well into our family. He is the sweetest with my 2 toddler girls and he is so smart — and the cutest! He is also getting along so well with my 6yo Blue Lacy; they’ve become snuggle buddies. I would recommend TK Aussies to anyone looking for an Aussie (any size) and wouldn’t hesitate to get Bodie a buddy from them in the future (if my husband lets me 😂)!

    I had a great experience with Kellye and I am enjoying my new puppy. He is very health and beautiful and full of energy and personality.

    Kelley was great to work with. From the very first message sent to picking up our new puppy.

  • Leslie H.

    Verified owner · Mar. 2026

    I can only say positive things about my experience working with Kellye at TK Aussies. We FaceTimed and she sent photos/videos leading up to pickup. She made pickup seamless by meeting me at the airport very timely, allowing me to get acquainted with Laddie Hendrix before jumping on our return flight home. He’s such a joy and I could be happier with my puppy. He’s healthy, beautiful, playful, and trains very quickly. It was a bonus that he came potty trained knowing to use the dog litter box since I live in a condo and he is not fully vaccinated to go out in public quite yet. I have already recommended Kellye to my friends and colleagues, and I’m sure I will adopt from TK again when the time comes. Much love!

    Kellye from TK Aussies was amazing to work with! She responded quickly, followed up with tons of info, and obviously loves all the pups. Ruby (formerly Mercedes) is such a great pup and obviously well raised for her first few months. We have an older Aussie from a different breeder, and the process with Kellye was a complete 180 from what I experienced before. She answered questions well, followed up with pictures (and videos when she didn’t have a more formal puppy photo-shoot scheduled), and also set her up with not just her initial shots (which our other dog had) but already registered her microchip and 30 day coverage for pet insurance. I brought along supplies as I was flying Ruby back home, but Kellye already had everything I needed all packed up for me! I feel incredibly lucky to have found Kellye and TK Aussies and Ruby is already (in just a few days) integrating so well into our family.
