Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Aussie Town located in West Palm Beach, FL. Our pups are bred with children in mind. We strive for pups that are going to make the best friend possible for your child in a small package. They are handled on a daily basis and are well socialized and raised around children and animals, such as chickens, cats, and other dogs. We love our dogs and what we do, and we strive to make each puppy a great contribution to his or her forever home.
