Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Rockin' Aussie Kennels located in Marion, IL. We breed happy and healthy Aussies and Aussiedoodles. We love having puppies in the house to spoil rotten and we hope you do, too! We are a family of 8 with 5 dogs (3 Aussies and 2 rescues) and we absolutely love puppies! We live on 55 acres of farmland and our puppies are exposed to all of the animals here -- sheep, horses, cows, cats, rabbits, you name it! Our puppies are all show quality, but we breed for the love of the pups!

    We take great care with each breeding to ensure we are producing puppies that are excellent representations of the breed. We love what we do and truly want the very best for our puppies and their forever families. We love our puppies like family up until they are welcomed into a new one.
