Not just an ordinary dog breeder… We are experienced in the ways of Aussies, yet are fairly new at breeding and offering them up for adoption. We created a “mission statement” the day we started planning our new endeavor, and here it is:

“Buck Hill Aussies is committed to rearing the most healthy, beautiful and happy dogs we can in an informal, yet safe and regulated environment.”

Although we are on a learning curve with all this, we feel that we are succeeding in our Mission!

OUR “KENNELS”

Well, we don’t actually have any kennels that look like the photo on the right. We are located inside the Ocala National Forest on three acres of piney woods. The entire homestead is securely fenced and safe, and all our dogs and puppies roam free on the property*. 

*New, young and vulnerable litters are protected inside a high fenced enclosure (about 20′ x 40′) at night, with Mom & Dad nearby.

Far from being a Puppy Mill, this is Doggie Heaven! Our dogs interact from an early age with our 3 cats, 5 chickens, and numerous gopher tortoises. We groom and lovingly handle the pups daily, and they are also socialized with children and other dogs who visit us frequently.

So what does this mean to you? If you want your dog “crate trained”, you’re on your own. Our puppies have never been caged.
