I'm the breeder behind Aussies Edge Farm located in Litchfield, NH. I have over 13 years of experience breeding working Australian Shepherds. I focus on the original “foundation” working lines. I have learned so much over the years and take great pride in my dogs. I am constantly educating myself on the breeding and the best breeding practices to incorporate into my program. I love sharing my beautiful working dogs with others who will appreciate them as much as I do. Visit our website for more information!
About Kathy
I have been a Certified Veterinarian Technician since 2001 and an equine riding instructor/trainer since 1993. My passion for the outdoors and animals make this a perfect breed for my lifestyle. I focus on breeding and preserving the original “foundation” Twin Oak bloodlines, all our dogs are from working cow pedigree.
What makes Kathy’s program special
We keep tails and dewclaws intact and all-natural. It is so important for balance and changing directions quickly while they are in the field moving stock or in the agility competition rings. We also supply a lifetime support for you and your Aussie! We have a network of Edge Aussie owners that are also dog trainers to assist with any bumps in the road! We are truly The Edge Family!
Kathy is a member of 3 clubs

Why Kathy started breeding
I owned and operated a working farm and needed a breed that could not only protect my livestock, but assist in moving them. I needed a working dog that had drive. The working Aussies were the perfect fit! I loved my dogs so much, I had to share their great traits with others that have similar lifestyles!
