I'm the breeder behind Hart of Aussies located in Upton, KY. We treasure each puppy in our program and give them all the attention and care that we possibly can. We work hard so our puppies can leave our home with confidence, ready to take on the world with their new family! They are affectionate, intelligent, and cute as can be!
What makes Missy’s program special
Our program is special bc me & my children enjoy it with passion. Our kids put their lil hearts into the love of the puppies. Our adult dogs are our family they don’t reside in bars daily they are with us & work with us on the farm & go on trips occasionally with us. We enjoy them so much!
