Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Willamette Valley Aussies located in Salem, OR. We breed high-quality puppies. We love what we do and are committed to producing well-bred, healthy puppies for loving homes. The foundation of our breeding program starts with raising healthy and well-loved dogs. We aim to pass the same happiness of owning a quality-bred dog to our buyers.

Kayla’s experience

  • About Kayla

    I was raised with shelties but as soon as we got our first Aussie in 2016 and I was forever in love!

  • What makes Kayla’s program special

    I do ENS, puppy culture, remove back dew claws, only(as long as vet appointments can be optained), because I believe the front dew claws hold a purpose. We leave tails because they were born with it so why would we alter that if not necessary? They were meant to be.
