Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Andover Aussies located in Rockford, IL. We offer family-raised AKC Aussie and MAS puppies. All parents are genetically tested. Our dogs are bred for health and amazing temperaments. We have dogs succeeding in the show ring and as service dogs. We love our dogs and what we do!

Catherine’s experience

  • About Catherine

    I fell in love with Aussies when my daughter got one for her 14th birthday. That was 10 years ago. Next, my son got one and started in agility and rally in 4h. Our pack has been growing ever since.

  • What makes Catherine’s program special

    We are enthusiastic about our program and our goals. We are very fortunate to be able to breed potential service animals, and all of our puppies have wonderful temperaments. We are very dedicated to what we do and what we are trying to achieve as breeders. We work with passion, heart, and integrity, and we truly want what's best for our puppies and their families.
