About
My Aussies are raised and live in my home; they are not kennel dogs. They sleep at my feet, hang out in our living spaces, and are fully woven into our daily routine. They are true "go anywhere, take anywhere" partners who are always down for a long hike in the woods or whatever adventure the day brings. When I plan a litter, my goal is always to pass down that classic, intuitive Aussie work ethic—dogs that are biddable, incredibly responsive to their handler, and ready for any job you give them.
Telltale dogs are incredibly versatile and can be found actively training and competing in a wide variety of venues, including agility, scentwork, herding, flyball, obedience, and rally. However, you do not have to be a competitive sports handler to love a Telltale dog. Our companion puppies excel as the ultimate lifestyle partners and thrive when given an active outdoor outlet. They make exceptional barn and trail riding buddies for equestrians, dedicated hiking partners, certified therapy dogs, and enthusiastic adventure companions who thrive on being part of the family action.
I strongly believe that all dogs learn best through modern, science-based, positive reinforcement training. As a certified professional dog trainer, behavioral wellness is at the core of everything I do. Our breeding program relies heavily on these principles, utilizing structured early socialization protocols to nurture curious, resilient puppies. We do not just focus on physical development; we focus on cognitive growth, ensuring our pups have the problem-solving skills needed to transition into high-level performance work or active family lives.

My first priority is that pups are placed in the right home where they will thrive as members of the family. Because we invest so much of ourselves into every single litter, our relationship with our buyers does not end at the ten-week mark. Puppy buyers will be members of the Telltale family and are encouraged to join our main Facebook group as well as a litter-specific group. This private community serves as a dedicated support network where we can all watch our puppies grow, share experiences, celebrate training, sporting, or trail successes, and provide peer-to-peer advice. We provide a lifetime commitment to our dogs and our handlers, offering ongoing mentorship for the life of your Aussie.
