Meet the breeder

I'm K & K, the breeder behind Whiskeytown Aussies located in Shingletown, CA. The heart behind Whiskeytown Aussies—where pups are raised with purpose. My partner and I pour our whole soul into each litter, raising smart, soulful, stunning babies who are deeply loved from day one. Extra? Maybe. But that’s what makes them extraordinary.

Q. & A. with K & K

  • Why did you start breeding?

    It all started with a fierce love for the breed and a drive to make it better. We raise pups who are healthy, strong, and steady — the kind who steal hearts and keep ‘em. They’re raised with endless love, early social smarts, and just enough extra magic to light up your life (and your couch).
  • What makes your program special?

    It starts with the parents — all fully DNA & NAD tested — chosen not just for structure and health, but for heart and temperament. I stay home full-time with each litter, supporting mamas, loving babies, and guiding early social & sensory enrichment. These pups are raised right — in my home, by hand, and with a lot of love. Raised hands-on with love every step of the way — from our home to yours!
  • 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 black & white, red & white, blue merle, black tri, red tri, red merle, red, and black. Miniature American Shepherd puppies include red & white, black & white, red tri-color, black tri, black, red merle, blue merle, and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    I truly don’t even know where to begin, because no amount of words could ever fully express the gratitude and love I have for Kayla and the life-changing impact she has had on me. Through this journey, Kayla didn’t just give me two dogs—she gave me two soulmates, two pieces of my heart that I didn’t even know were missing until they were in my arms. From the very beginning, working with Kayla was a dream. She is kind, knowledgeable, honest, and genuinely cares about each and every one of her dogs—and the families they go to. Her passion for breeding is rooted in love and integrity, and it shows in every detail, from the health of the puppies to the way she nurtures them with such care and intention. She took the time to get to know me, to understand my lifestyle, and to match me with dogs that would become my perfect companions. And she didn’t just stop at handing them over—she stayed present, supportive, and has become a lifelong friend through it all. The two dogs I’ve brought home from her are nothing short of magical. They are the best thing that has ever happened to me. They bring light, laughter, and healing into my life every single day. They have taught me what unconditional love looks like, and they are a constant source of joy, comfort, and purpose. I don’t just see them as pets—they are my heart, my anchors, and my greatest gifts. Meeting Kayla through Good Day was truly one of the biggest blessings in my life. She is more than a breeder—she’s someone who pours her soul into what she does and who forms deep, genuine connections with the people and pups she brings together. Because of her, I now have this ever-lasting friendship with someone I admire and adore, and two dogs who are my entire world. If I could give her a million stars, it still wouldn’t be enough. There isn’t a recommendation strong enough to reflect how much I believe in her and the experience she provides. If you’re lucky enough to get a dog from her, know that you’re not just getting a puppy—you’re gaining a lifetime of love, a true family member, and someone who will forever hold a special place in your heart. I also almost guarantee you will want a second one! Thank you, Kayla. From the deepest part of my soul, thank you for everything.

    Kayla was amazing through the entire process of getting my Mini Aussie! She sent me constant updates, pics, videos, everything! She also went above and beyond and provided me with diaper pads, food, blankets, etc. When I brought my puppy home, I quickly realized she had already been potty trained too. I am so grateful for Kayla and how dedicated she is. You can truly tell she is very passionate about the dogs.

    Whiskeytown Aussies was a pleasure to deal with. Updated about the puppy I selected regularly. And the day of pickup went great. Had puppy checked by my vet and he received an excellent report.

    Kayla is wonderful to work with. Kept us posted on Kali's growth with pictures and chats while we waited to becable to bring her home. I might add that Kayla did all of this while being evacuated with all the adults and babies due to a major wildfire. Since bringing Kali home Kayla has been readily available to answer questions. We are so happy and blessed to have found Whiskeytows Aussies and adding Kali AND Kayla to our family.

She is everything you said she would be and more! We are so grateful for everything you do! Highly recommend Kayla with Whiskeytown Aussies for your next pup!
