Q. & A. with Kendra
Why did you start breeding?
I have always loved dogs and have owned many. I have never been around Aussies and learned very quickly they're the best breed ever hands down. One became two, two became three and the rest is history. This is how Whispering Iris Aussies was born and I am so proud.
What makes your program special?
All of our puppies are ASDR and AKC registered. Our dogs are spoiled and cared for tremendously. There is no greater joy than matching our pups with the perfect family.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red merle, blue merle, black tri-color, and red tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

I had such a wonderful experience working with Kendra from Whispering Iris Aussies. It was clear from the very beginning that she and her family genuinely loved my puppy long before I ever brought her home. Kendra was patient, kind, and always willing to answer the million-and-one questions I asked her. She even helped me choose the puppy whose personality would fit me the best and she absolutely nailed it.
My puppy, McKenzie, is the sweetest, most lovable puppy, and she’s already showing how smart she is. She gets along well with other people and pets. She’s always a happy puppy and I’m so thankful for her.
I highly recommend Kendra from Whispering Iris Aussies. I can’t say enough good things about my experience!

Kendra was great to work with! She answered all my questions and concerns. Lavi is the best dog I have ever adopted. She has such a calm & sweet demeanor. Seriously the sweetest puppy ever! I can tell Lavi was so loved by Kendra & her family. I feel that’s why she’s so sweet natured. I would definitely adopt your new puppy from Kendra. She was absolutely amazing to work with. She is breeding healthy, sweet & beautiful puppies.
