Q. & A. with Cassandra

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Through mentors in SD who have been Toy Aussie devoted for decades. I associated myself with the most knowledgeable and best breeders to ensure that my lines are desirable and true to Toy Aussie breed standards.

  • What makes your program special?

    Each of my pups is a unicorn in their own unique ways with brains, beauty and personality. While I cannot guarantee exact size at maturity, my lines produce majority toy sized, under 14" at shoulder. These pups are my kids first and I am committed to each one and their amazing families for life.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include black tri, blue merle, red merle, and red tri. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.

    I was looking for a new pup for a long time but just didn't know that my pup would find me. I found this app by accident and it was the best thing that ever happened to me. As soon as I saw Siggy's face I just knew she was meant for me :) Working wirh Cassandra was a DREAM. She cares SO much about her pups and the people she places them with even going so far as to check in with me for a few months after I took Siggy home. I didn't even change her name :) The love and care Cassandra gives these pups is evident in their de demeanor. Siggy is SO sweet and sassy and SO incredibly smart!. Not to mention when I take her for walks everyone stops and comments on what a cutie she is. She is an absolute love and I honestly don't know what I would do without her. Cassandra is an AWESOME person to work with friendly, kind and funny and she really considers her pups her kids. If I could take another one from her I would. Don't hesitate! Grab up one of her pups you won't be disappointed it will be the best decision of your life. I can't wait to celebrate Sig's 1st bday on the 16th :) :) Thank you so much Cassandra for the greatest gift ever!!

    We had the most wonderful experience in getting our baby, Ziva! We picked her up in June of 2022 and Ziva turned 2 in April 2024. Cassandra is so caring and professional and loves all of her fur babies fiercely. We will hopefully be getting more toy Aussie babies from her in the future. All puppies are drop dead gorgeous and our Ziva is so well mannered and extremely smart. We could not have been happier with our decision to be a part of the Klenke Toy Aussie family! Would rate 1,000,000/5 if we could!

    Cassandra is a wonderful person to work with when finding your perfect puppy. She asked a lot of questions to ensure we got the best match. We adopted shy Willow in 2021. She is an amazing dog and is very smart. When Willow needed a playmate, we never hesitated to reach out to Cassandra again to find her best friend. We adopted Ozzy September of 2024. Turns out, our dogs are full on siblings but couldn’t be more different. We wanted an outgoing, goofy dog and boy, did she deliver! lol Highly recommend!

    Cassandra was great to work with! She was very responsive and answered all my questions. It is clear our puppy was very loved before we adopted him, as he immediately loved to snuggle up next to me. Cassandra gave me all the information I needed to give to the vet at our first visit. He was up to date on all vaccinations. I really appreciated Cassandra’s love and care for our puppy. I can tell she wanted him to go to the best home possible. I’d recommend her to anyone looking to find a new doggie best friend !!

    I found my first Klenke Toy Aussie puppy on Good Dog. Cassandra (Klenke Toy Aussies) and I hit it off immediately. We chatted about the breed extensively and we really connected. She sent pictures, described Finn's personality, which was very accurate. When I went to pick Finn up, I was able to meet his siblings and parents. All were well adjusted, living indoors and handled by Cassandra and her children daily. I have been so happy with this breeder that I not only got one of her puppies, I went back two more times for a total of three of her puppies over the past few years, Finn, Artemis & the baby Persephone (Percy). Exceptional breeder with high standards and great pups.

    Cassandra was amazing to get our puppy from. He is the sweetest little boy and she was very informative and available for everything we have needed. We will definitely look to her again when we are ready for another puppy.
