Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Out West Aussies located in Warm Springs, GA. I raise my litters with Puppy Culture, Sound Training and ENS. I was doing ENS and Sound Training before I joined the PC craze. My dogs can be happy anywhere – in the show ring, at home, or on the couch.

Kelly’s experience

  • About Kelly

    We moved back to the south this past summer 2020. We have a small farm on 27 acres in Warm Springs Georgia. The dogs and I enjoy the lake we are on and daily walks, frisbee and ball. We currently have a few show dogs

  • What makes Kelly’s program special

    All my adults are extensively health tested and bred for temperament and structure. I rotate dogs around between the kennel and in my house. We also have a "no rules roundpen" where everyone can go and let off steam!

More about Kelly

  • Why Kelly started breeding

    I was still running my dogs in agility and wondered where my next performance dog was gonna come from. Had all the testing done on both parents, both had points in NADAC. The temperament of those 2 dogs was what started it all. They could go all out and then come inside and relax. They had an OFF switch. These qualities are still important to me. Temperament is first and foremost.

  • Kelly has been a member of Good Dog for over 6 years

    Kelly was screened for responsible practices and has been a member since 2018.
