Brim. The girl you makes you work for her love—it’s actually so sweet because she doesn’t just hand it to anyone, you have to prove yourself worth trusting, and I love her little *boundaries* 😂🩷 She has a very nice potential new family coming to meet her Friday :)

K & K
Pretty little Bo & his update ❤︎ ᥫ᭡ he’s casually cruising through life like he knows exactly what he’s gona be when he grows up, so naturally comfortable with himself, the world — everything he does. A small little boy who’s ALWAYS swaying his itty bitty booty with his whole entire body — the best wiggle butt to exist and one very happy camper for no apparent reason 😂 I’m completely OBSESSED with him. He is a truly mesmerizing soul on a deeper level, still so goofy, but with such a kind, gentle little spirit — every cliche you could think of, it’s Bo. His gentle tip toes, his mommy’s twin, & the way he speaks with his eyes. I know his people will love him just as much as I do, he will absolutely steal your heart, and your bed… and probably your favorite shoes. Anywho, I’ll stop gushing over him for now… enjoy the photos of this sweet boy, & the novel… 📖🧡

About Lily
Lily is our first Aussie, and she is truly the beginning of our love story with this breed. She gave us her son, Rip — and Rip later gave us Theo. Both are now parents themselves, and Lily is still right in the middle of it all, helping raise the generations that came after her. For every puppy we’ve kept over the years — and honestly, every puppy that has ever stepped foot into her presence — Lily becomes “Mom.” She teaches manners, sets boundaries, comforts, cleans, nurtures, and somehow always knows exactly what each dog needs from her. Even now, years into retirement, she still mothers everyone around her… including her fully grown sons, who still let her fuss over them like embarrassed teenage boys. She is the heart behind so much of what we do here. I keep her photos active because I think it matters for people to know where it all started. The love we have for this breed began with Lily, and her influence lives on in every generation after her. Our lives are better, softer, and infinitely more special because she’s been part of them.

About Bee
Bee is a puppy at heart always. She is very mellow but still gets her bursts of energy. She is the most intelligent dog I’ve ever owned. She’s nothing short of perfection and is an excellent mama pup to have in our program. Her first litter was amazing and we expect nothing less from her in the future!

About Arctic
Arctic 15” | 30 lbs Paired with Theo Arctic is a heart dog in every sense of the word — gentle, goofy, and endlessly loving. She’s exceptionally bright and eager to please, with that perfect balance of drive and sweetness. Compact and sturdy with a short, stout build, Arctic’s presence is instantly captivating. Her brilliant blue eyes seem to look straight through you, reflecting her calm, soulful nature. She’s the kind of dog who brings light and comfort wherever she goes. Arctic is a beautiful blend of brains, balance, and affection. She’s the perfect complement to Theo, and together they’ve begun their own line while continuing the legacy of our cherished Whiskey × Lily foundation lines.

About Theo
Theo 17.5” | 36 lbs Sire: Rip • Dam: Bee Grandsire: Whiskey • Granddam: Lily Theo is the epitome of what we envisioned from our Bee × Rip pairing — and then some. Compact and athletic with a strong, balanced frame, he carries himself with effortless confidence and agility. His rare split double blue eyes — half blue, half brown in each — are a signature trait passed down through generations, originating from his grandsire Whiskey. Both eyes mirror identical flecks, a distinctive and sought-after feature that has become a hallmark of our program. Theo is exceptionally intelligent, intuitive, and soulful. He’s quick-witted with a “forever puppy” spark, playful yet thoughtful, and naturally magnetic — a dog everyone falls for. Agile and driven when working, but mellow and affectionate when resting, he embodies the versatility and heart we strive for in every pairing. The culmination of years of intentional breeding and careful selection, Theo represents our commitment to producing Aussies that excel in mind, body, and spirit — dogs who not only shine in the ring or field, but also light up the lives around them.

Whiskey is the most goofy daddy dog in our program! He’s definitely got a personality on him. Extremely intelligent, curious, playful with strong drive. He’s has an amazing build, muscular, solid. He passes down his unique flecked/marbled eyes to his pups. He has very strong genes and it’s really neat to see them in his babies. He is an amazing attribute to our program!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Kayla at Whiskeytown Aussies! From the very first moment I reached out, Kayla showed an extraordinary level of care, communication, and genuine passion for her dogs and the families they go to. Throughout the entire process of bringing my mini Aussie, Mochi, home, she kept me updated with constant messages, photos, and little glimpses into Mochi’s personality as she grew. Kayla goes above and beyond in every possible way. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and thoughtful, and she truly pours her heart into her dogs. Every interaction reassured me that Mochi was in the very best hands until she was ready to join our family. This process was very special to me. I was seeking out a fur baby to complete my family. I'm a first time dog owner and was bringing Mochi home as a surprise to my 2 young boys. I needed a girl in my life and Kayla knew the exact match! What really stands out is how deeply Kayla cares—not just about her dogs, but about the people who bring them home. Her support doesn’t end when you pick up your puppy. She’s there to answer questions, cheer you on, and share in every little milestone. Thanks to her warmth, generosity, and sincerity, she’s become far more than “just” a breeder—she’s truly a lifelong friend. We literally talk every day now! Kayla is an amazing human and truly a one of a kind breeder. You won't find anyone better. You get sooo much more then a dog with her. Mochi is everything we hoped for and far more, and we’re forever grateful to Kayla for giving her such an amazing start. I would recommend her a thousand times over!

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.

We are so thankful we decided to go with a responsible breeder with Whiskeytown Aussies. Kayla was extremely informative and answered all our questions thoroughly during the first 8 weeks. She sent weekly updates, photos, and videos as we waited to pick up our baby girl. She was knowledgeable, informative, professional and pleasant to work with! We love our puppy! 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!

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.
