Leslie H.
Verified owner · Mar. 2026
I can only say positive things about my experience working with Kellye at TK Aussies. We FaceTimed and she sent photos/videos leading up to pickup. She made pickup seamless by meeting me at the airport very timely, allowing me to get acquainted with Laddie Hendrix before jumping on our return flight home. He’s such a joy and I could be happier with my puppy. He’s healthy, beautiful, playful, and trains very quickly. It was a bonus that he came potty trained knowing to use the dog litter box since I live in a condo and he is not fully vaccinated to go out in public quite yet. I have already recommended Kellye to my friends and colleagues, and I’m sure I will adopt from TK again when the time comes. Much love!

Kellye from TK Aussies was amazing to work with! She responded quickly, followed up with tons of info, and obviously loves all the pups. Ruby (formerly Mercedes) is such a great pup and obviously well raised for her first few months. We have an older Aussie from a different breeder, and the process with Kellye was a complete 180 from what I experienced before. She answered questions well, followed up with pictures (and videos when she didn’t have a more formal puppy photo-shoot scheduled), and also set her up with not just her initial shots (which our other dog had) but already registered her microchip and 30 day coverage for pet insurance. I brought along supplies as I was flying Ruby back home, but Kellye already had everything I needed all packed up for me! I feel incredibly lucky to have found Kellye and TK Aussies and Ruby is already (in just a few days) integrating so well into our family.
