White Oak Aussies

Meet the breeder

I'm Shelly J., the breeder behind White Oak Aussies located in Bonaparte, IA. Our breeding dogs are part of our family's day to say life. Our puppies are raised in our home, and spoiled/raised like I would want mine raised. They are well socialized with other dogs, people and kids, receiving with lots of love and attention. Puppies are started with litter training which helps with potty training later. Most learn how to use a pet door, also. Puppies are started on basic leash and collar training. The communication doesn't stop with the transaction, I still receive updates and questions and I'm more than happy to help.
