Simply D's Aussies
I have been working with Denise as her veterinarian for the last 6 years. It is rare to work with a breeder that genuinely cares about the welfare of every animal and works to improve the breed standards. Denise's breeding program is set up to provide high quality, well adjusted family pets. The breeding pairs have been tested for genetic diseases where applicable to ensure healthy puppies. The puppies have several visits to the veterinarian by the age of 2 months to ensure they are healthy when they go to their new home. The puppies are well socialized and handled to encourage a life long animal/human bond. Not only do I have experience working with this breeder, I have adopted one of her puppies proving that I feel strongly about the quality of her breeding program and puppy care. I have a mini aussie, Jinx, whom is a wonderful dog and great with cats and children. I highly recommend this breeder!

I bought a puppy from Denise a little over year ago. He is a wonderful dog. He was so well socialized when we got him. Denise was so helpful in every aspect. We loved her so much that we just bought a second puppy from her last week . He is also is turning out out to be a sweetheart also. Those puppies were well socialized and very loving. I highly recommend Denise.
Bonnie
I got my mini Australian Shepard from Denise earlier this month and he has been such a well behaved puppy. He is very trainable and clearly was brought up in a great environment. Denise has always been accessible for questions and provided more than enough information and materials to make my dog experience as easy as possible. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a new puppy!

Denise is a WONDERFUL breeder! She puts her all into her pups & goes beyond what’s expected of her. She cares for each pup as an individual & creates a warm, loving environment! She sends TONS of updates & offers contact 24 hours/day. She understands that we aren’t able to watch our pups grow in person so she keeps you updated & makes you feel like part of the process! She welcomes any question/concern & never treats you like a bother. Denise is approachable & friendly. At pick up we were given more than just our pup! Denise gave us a crate, tons of toys, food, & more! She welcomes your pup back into her care at any point if you are no longer able to care for them. She cares for each pup & isn’t obsessed with “turn over”. She maintains contact to stay updated on your baby & encourages you to contact her with anything no matter how long ago you adopted your pup... she even offered me advice at any time about my other pup from another breeder! I cannot rave about Denise enough!
Nina
I tend to be a rescue dog mom type of person but when my senior dog was going down hill earlier this year my sister and her mother-in-law recommended I reach out to Denise. I am so glad I did. She was so patient as I went through grieving the loss of my best friend and let me ask all the crazy puppy questions in the world. She kept me up to date all the time with pictures and videos of my boy and even now that I brought him home she still is available 24/7. You won’t find a better first mom for your pup to have!! She takes no chances and cares for each of them as they her own from before birth and even after they are in your arms. Love her, love her dogs!!!
Amber
We brought Coral home as the perfect addition to our family. She has the perfect temperament and was almost fully potty trained by the 2nd day of her being in our home. She has socialized well and is very smart and loves learning new jobs! Denise has been an extremely helpful and responsive resource during the transition period. Her willingness to give advice and answer questions is much appreciated. She truly cares about her babies and the updates she receives. We are over the moon with our newest family member!
Kelly
I got my beautiful blue merle puppy from Denise almost two weeks ago. This is the first puppy I've purchased through a breeder and Denise made it a very positive experience. She responds super quick to any questions, sends plenty of pictures, videos and updates, and is there for you even after you've taken your new baby home. Denise is very dedicated to her fur babies and families. I couldn't be happier with the service received and with my new family member. Our little girl is so loving, playful, wonderful with our toddlers and older dog, and fits right in with our family!
Brandi
We purchased our mini Aussie from Denise about a year ago, and could not be any more pleased with our fur baby and working with Denise! Our pup, Penny, is one of the smartest and sweetest dogs I have ever known. We are so grateful to have her as part of our family! Denise made the whole process super easy. She was alway available if I had any questions, or even if I wanted to have a few extra pictures or videos of our baby sent our way! :) You can definitely tell that these fur babies are raised with nothing but a tremendous amount of love!
Priscilla
We got our Red Merle Aussie baby, Aria, from Denise and she is the most the perfect little puppy. Denise was such a pleasure to work with every step of the way and no request is too much for Denise. She is so knowledgeable and kind and eased every one of my fears. My family now has 3 Aussies from Denise and we wouldn’t go to anyone else!
Rachel
Denise is the best!!! We were so lucky to have found her. We were looking for months and came across Denise. We are so blessed to have are little man from her!!! I loved how She cared so much for each and everyone of those puppies, its was truly amazing. She takes pictures and videos after they are born, so my boys would watch every move they would do while growing and playing. Denise always was so fast to answer any question or concerns we had. And trust me we had a lot!!! Lol The first day and night we had was so great. Our little man adapted so well, and was on a wonderful schedule. He was and is amazing with our two kids. We couldnt ask for a better pup and breeder. We love love our little man and cant thank you enough!!!f Thank you so much Denise!
Heather
I’m not one to usually write any reviews but my wife and I were so happy with Denise and the way she guided us from beginning to end! She answered all questions and concerns we had before buying our puppy. Now we are proud parents of a strong healthy Mini Aussie Blue Merle! Thanks for everything again Denise. We will definitely be referring all my friends and family to you!
Jose
I got my dog a year ago from Denise and she is the best pup I've ever had, she has the best temperament she's amazing with our baby and very playful with other animals. She has great health and picks up any training quickly she's extremely smart and I couldn't ask for a better little companion, thank you Denise!
Ashley
My son and his fiancé bought a Mini Aussie from Denise a few weeks ago. Lilly is such a sweet, loving, and smart little puppy. Denise and her family touch and hold these little babies so much. They are so well socialized and taken care of. If you want the perfect Mini Aussie, Denise is the breeder to go to. I would recommend her to anyone. Laurie
Laurie
"Rosie and I can't say enough good about Denise! The experience was flawless from beginning to end and the support continues when you head home, going on and on. Denise and her family have done the most beautiful job with my little baby Shih Tzu! From contacting me within minutes of my inquiry (unlike other breeders!), to keeping me posted in her development, to sending us on our merry way with a "care package" that set us up for pure success and a beautiful little girl who is not only happy and healthy, but crate trained and housebroken! Unbelievable! Even my vet could not get over the quality and temperament of my little girl. Thank you so much for being there and "hooking me up" with the most precious roommate I could imagine! All my best- Ayenne
Ayenne
We found Denise here on Puppy Find when we were thinking of getting a puppy and let me say the experience of getting a puppy from Denise exceeded my expectations. We got our puppy at the end of July and Denise made it so positive for us! Her communication is excellent, she responds immediately to emails, she keeps you updated on your puppy with lots of pictures and videos of your puppy prior to picking up your puppy. We could tell immediately that our puppy was well taken care of, socialized and came from a loving home. Our puppy has been a fantastic addition to our family and I can't say enough great things about Denise!
Gina
We got a puppy from Denise and we are so in love! The little guy is healthy, playful, very well socialized, and great with kids! If you are looking for a family dog, denise does such a good job at socializing them! They run and play in her living room with the entire family, so that’s why the puppy was used to TV noise, etc. also, the puppies are never caged in denise’s household! These days it’s very difficult to find a responsible breeder and denise is such a gem! She microchips her pups, all good vet care, and sends you home with a crate, 2 bags of food, treats and toys! Also she is always around to answer any questions. Thank you denise! We are very very happy!
Tatiana
I was looking for a breeder close to home and found Denise by accident. It was the best accident we ever had. Denise responded very quickly to my questions and once we made the decision to purchase one, the invoicing was very easy. A week later, we decided we wanted two puppies :) I must have sent Denise a 100 questions and she was very quick to answer all my questions and was very patient with me :) The best part was all of the pictures and videos she posted so we could watch them grow and see how well they were taken care. She was quick to provide references and I searched to find any bad reviews and there are none. I have had my girls for a week now and they are great. Took them to my vet the day after we got them and he said they were very healthy girls. I can’t recommend her high enough. We have already referred a few of our friends who fell in love with our new girls.
Glenn
It was so nice working with Denise to find our newest member of our family Cash!! These puppies are not only sweet and super cute but very well taken care of! Once you pick out the one you would like she will update you at least once a week with pics and the status of your pup! Payment and pick up was very easy too! Denise loves her babies do much and we were so glad to find an honest caring Breeder! Thank you Denise for giving us our new baby! 💕💕
Christine
Denise has been an absolute pleasure to work with! She was so informative of the whole process and constantly uploaded new pictures and videos of the puppies as they got older. Having purchased a puppy from a pet store and now from Denise, it’s very apparent how easily trained and how quickly my new puppy Mars is to kids and meeting other dogs. she has done a fantastic job raising them in a happy loving environment. Can’t thank her or recommend her enough!
Juan
If this review reads like a new father bragging about his exceptional child to anyone who'll listen it is because I have an exceptional puppy. "Sparky" is a 14 week-old Shih Tzu purchased from Denise three weeks ago. He's already house broken, that is, he sits by me and barks when he needs to go out. He is healthy, active, alert, likes to play, eats all of his food, and has a loving disposition. Sparky is very social. Individuals that desire a healthy, social, smart, and loving puppy should inquire about purchasing a puppy from Denise.
David
I just purchased my first puppy, Finley, from Denise. My family had previously purchased 2 other Aussies from Denise who we all completely adore. Denise is an amazing breeder. She completely put me at ease throughout this entire process. I put a deposit down very early and Denise was very good about sending me updates while I was waiting. After the pups were born she posted so many photos and videos so could get to get to know the different puppy’s personalities. I really appreciated her helping me pick the perfect puppy for my lifestyle. She was so patient as I made up my mind and never rushed me to decide. I also love that I got to watch my little guy grow up from day 1. You can tell how much she cares for every one of her pups. Finley is so friendly, loving, and happy as can be. He's adjusted so well since we've brought him home and I couldn't be happier. I would recommend Denise to anyone looking for an excellent breeder. She made this whole process totally exciting any enjoyable
Kristie
We got our 2nd Mini Aussie from Denise and she and the pup exceeded our expectations! The pup came to us as happy, healthy, fun, and smart as could be! In the weeks before she came home, Denise sent videos and photos regularly so we could watch her progressing and kindly answered any and all questions. Besides being absolutely beautiful, our pup fit right in, adjusting easily, has an incredible easy going loving personality, and has been a breeze to train. Everyone loves our pup! I highly recommend Denise. She's truly a professional who gives a great amount of time, attention, and love to her puppies that clearly benefits the pups and those who adopt them.
Diane
I put a deposit down on my mini Aussie puppy from Denise back in March. She kept me updated with pictures and videos the whole time we were waiting for our little Rosie to get big enough to come home. She cares so much about her pups and it is so obvious. I would recommend her to anyone. We love our little Rosie and couldn't be happier with her.
Nadine
I have been working with Denise to find a miniature Australian Shepherd. Denise (owner) was fantastic to work with and amazingly responsive. She sent regular updates on how the puppy was progressing and pictures. When we picked up our puppy, he was healthy, energetic and acclimated to people. You could tell Denise loves her babies. The paperwork was all assembled and she covered it in good detail. The puppy has been with us for 3 days, loves people, learning fast, and healthy as a horse. We are completely satisfied. Bottom line is if you are looking for a puppy, Denise is your first place to look.
Steve
Denise has been so amazing! She is a wonderful breeder and goes above and beyond for her puppies! We are so happy that we got our new puppy from her. Our puppy has adapted so well to our family and we feel so lucky to have had Denise recommended to us!
Lacey
The process of purchasing my puppy through Denise was smooth! I actually purchased my puppy weeks prior to being able to bring her home. Denise responded to all my emails and concerns quickly and updated me on my puppies progress to the day I was able to bring her home. Besides the process of purchasing my puppy being smooth, my puppy exceeded my Expectations .From my puppies health to her temperament ! Denise raises quality,healthy puppies and really prepares them to go home with success
Tia
I was lucky enough to find Denise locally almost 2 years ago, just by word of mouth from other unrelated breeders. We just recently brought home our first baby from her who we’ve named Mercury. Saying he’s perfect is an understatement and we will definitely use Denise again in the future. I loved being able to watch him grow through photos and Denise was always quick to respond if I had a question any time of day. Mercury is very well tempered and blended right in to our very active and busy home life. I would recommend her over and over again! Thanks again Denise for our amazing baby!!!!
Shannon
Denise is the best!!! We are lucky enough to have 3 fur babies from her!!! She nurtures and loves each and every one of her dogs. She takes pictures and videos after they are born while they are growing and playing. She was and still is available to answer any question...Our pups are so well adjusted, happy, healthy, smart and overall amazing dogs! Thank you Denise!!!
Debbie
After reading the exceptional reviews, we contacted Denise. We weren’t sure if aussies would do well in a condo and she assured us they would. We picked our puppy from the litter she had and the journey began. Denise answered all my crazy questions and was always available to answer more.when we finally got our baby Ozzy from her, we felt we knew him from all the videos and pictures she posted of him. She also sent her daughter to meet us half way to get him. He’s perfect in every way 💜💜💜thank you so much for making our life complete.🐶
Roberta
Denise responds very fast. She posts lots of photos. She will always be there to answer questions. Our little girl is perfect, you can tell she has been raised with love. She is confident and curious, and doing great on potty training. I cannot say enough good things about the awesome family who raised her until now! We were provided with all of her health records, she's already chipped, and she even got some puppy gifts. This was an excellent experience and we will recommend Denise to everyone!
Cindy
My husband and I just picked up our new sweet mini Aussie boy last Friday!!! He is so sweet and gorgeous! He and our 8 month old Aussie couldn’t get along any better! I am so happy that I found Denise online. Denise is so responsive and knowledge when we had questions and is genuinely passionate about her babies. Plus, bonus, she sends and posts pictures and videos of the puppies from day of birth until you pick them up!!!
Traci
I got my mini Aussie from Denise and it was love at first site! She raises healthy, happy puppies. I loved the weekly pictures and videos so I could watch her grow. The entire process was amazing! You can tell the puppies are loved and spoiled from day one
Jennifer
After a lot of looking we found our newest family member from Denise. About one year ago we lost our 15 year old American Eskimo, we were left heart broken. It was then that we began our research into the Miniature Australian Shepherd breed. On our journey we found Denise & throughout the entire process she’s been extremely responsive to emails with all of my questions & concerns..:) Because of our homework we knew our lil Bristol was going to be smart & loyal. Never did I think that at 9 weeks of age she would be aware of playtime, snuggle time, nite time & potty time! We are truly thankful for all the very apparent love & structure she was given in her early weeks of life! If your looking for a stand out breeder look no further! Our hearts are so full❤️
Tara
In November 2017 we adopted a miniature Australian Shepard from Denise. We could not be happier. Denise provided all the paperwork for us and even answered some puppy questions for us weeks after we got our best friend. Thank you Denise for all your advise and making our family so happy.
Leigh
I was looking for a local breeder of Mini Aussie's, and I came across Denise here. The pictures of her adult dogs were absolutely gorgeous, and after talking with her, I felt really good about getting a puppy from her. I let her know what kind of puppy I was looking for, and got on the list. She's really good about uploading photos quickly after the birth. I got to see my darling's newborn pics, and many many more pictures and videos as my baby grew up. Payment was easy, she ALWAYS respond quickly when I messaged her, and my puppy is absolutely beautiful and amazing. She really raises the puppies in a great environment, where they are socialized with adults and even children. I couldn't be happier, and I love my puppy so much. Will be back in the future for sure!
Amanda
This was the best experience and outcome! Denise takes care of her dogs and is cautious in a good way. The adoption was easy. The meet up was even easier. Boomer is an amazing addition to our family and I can't wait to get our next family member from Denise!
Tracy
We purchased our mini aussie from Denise a year ago a black tri. He is a wonderful dog and she does so much with the puppies to get them ready for their new owners. He is the best dog we have ever had . Very calm, sweet and we love him to death. Denise kept us informed about his first 8 weeks with her by posting pictures and videos. I have recommended her to several people at our dog park in Vero Beach, FL and one of the members at the dog park bought one of her pups a few months ago and that red tri puppy is adorable. I highly recommend her and her puppies. You can feel confident that you are getting a very healthy puppy from a reputable breeder.
Wenda
We bought our first Mal-shi from Denise six years ago! Our experience was awesome! Our Boo boo is a happy healthy little girl! We eventually bought two more shi-tzu's from Denise and she was so thorough and so loving to these puppies. My pups were so well taking care of and when ever I have questions about them Denise always replies in minutes! I love my fur babies and they have had an amazing start to life and Denise always makes sure these pups are going to the right home. I don't have any complaints and doing business with them has been like gaining family! I would highly recommend anyone who has a passion for a fur family member and in this commitment for the long haul to buy from this amazing breeder! A wonderful experience three times over! And still such a blessing when we need them! Thank you so much Denise!
Michelle
During the past 30 years, I have owned 2 Australian Cattle Dogs and 2 Australian Shepherds. Recently I purchased a Miniature Aussie from Denise. This puppy is absolutely the best of all of them and they were all awesome. When I picked her up at 9 weeks she was 75% paper trained and fully paper trained two weeks later. She is loving, smart, attentive, confident, no fear issues. Aussies are not always an easy breed - a couple of mine were rescues. Denise starts her puppies off right - this baby is attentive and not fearful. I just love her and highly recommend this breeder.
Sandra
Excellent experience, Denise is 100% top notch. We have a beautiful blue eyed girl that we have made part of our family and we love her to pieces!!!
Traci
Max became part of our family 5 months ago. She has brought so much joy and love to all of us. We can't thank Denise enough for making her adoption so easy......she is a true professional.
Pearl
I found her randomly when looking for australian shepherds. She has several references including a vet. I took a chance and trusted her and ended up highly rewarded. She socializes the puppies very well from birth, even with a young grand daughter who plays with them. The mini aussie I got is really tiny, but I didn't care. She offered to changed my deposit to another litter but I loved how beautiful he was regardless of size. He has the best temperament and Denise made the whole experience very fun. I'm glad I trusted her. She is always there to answer questions or help me even with continued support afterwards. She even sent him home with a goodie basket and a bag of food. She knows what she's doing. :)
Joseph
I got my sweet girl, Rosie, from Denise and it was such an awesome experience. It was my first time to purchase a dog on my own and Denise was extremely helpful and accessible. She was happy to answer any questions I had no matter what. She raises her babies in her home and loves on them a ton. She also sends you photos and videos of your baby regularly. I can't say enough about how wonderful Denise was and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a great, responsible and caring breeder.
Sarah
Denise is extremely thoughtful, caring and diligent in her approach to breeding. She responded to my inquiry in less than 24 hours and was willing to answer all of my questions. She was happy to work around my schedule to pick the puppy up and at no point rushed me to get her. My puppy is gorgeous and was perfectly healthy and happy. Denise provided all of the relevant documentation, including genetic testing going back two generations. Everything was conducted as promised. Following my adoption, she has remained available for any and all advice, and has reminded me that she will always be there for me, which as a first time dog owner is extremely comforting. I highly recommend Denise to anyone looking for a puppy. One conversation with her and a peek at her facebook page will say more than enough, but she is happy to provide many more references, including two vets!
Zach
I'm glad that I bought by puppy from Denise. I was amazed how caring, loving she is to her babies daily, during pregnancy and through the deliver process. She treats her babies like her own. I must tell you her babies are very smart, easy to train. I felt like my puppy already potty trained when I got her. I got lots of compliments about her look, manner and she is such a sweetheart to people. Denise's puppies are all beautiful and very compassionate being around with. Denise is always available for questions or concerns. She makes the adoption process very easy and a joyful as you get to see your little cute puppy growing everyday. You always see her posts/videos about your puppy playing, growing, personality development and interactions with other siblings. Denise also has a Nanny Service to deliver your puppy if you are out of state like me (CA). She's there for you if you have problems and makes sure this process is smooth for you.
Thuymien
I highly recommend Denise to anyone wanting a puppy! She truly loves and cares about all her puppies and only lets them go to loving homes. That is her top priority!! She is always available to answer any questions and concerns. Also very good with updating pictures and videos so you can watch your puppy grow and play until they are big enough to come home with you! I've had my Shi tszu puppy Luigi 8 months now and couldn't be happier!!! In fact I'm looking forward to getting another puppy from Denise in the near future!!!
Diana
I adopted a puppy from Denise in December. She's everything we dreamed of and more but, more importantly, Denise is amazing. In the months leading up to the day we chose our puppy, Denise answered a million questions and made me feel extremely comfortable and ready. Highly recommended breeder!
Jason
It's so nice to see a breeder so genuine and involved with her puppies and their future families. She cares so much about her babies and makes sure they get the best. The amount of love she gives her babies is imbedded into their little personalities and it's just wonderful!! If you're looking for an honest, kind, caring breeder your search is over!!
Tiffany
We got our babies from this breeder it was a great experience from start to finish !!! I love my mini Aussie babies we have brothers a red tri and black tri they are beautiful and well tempered🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
Gins
Denise is excellent. I could not be happier with the experience and our beautiful furbaby. From the beginning she was extremely helpful with all of our questions and concerns. Very accommodating as well. Pictures and updates on our pup were always available and we felt like we really got to watch him grow before he came home to us. I would definitely recommend the puppy nanny for transportation if you need it, because our pup was a bit shaken up after the flight but besides that, everything was wonderful. We have a loving, intelligent and healthy puppy.
Sophie
We couldn't be happier with this breeder! We brought home our American bulldog girl Athena a year ago. She's the best dog we have ever had. Such a personality and well behaved. She's a 65lb lap dog that's only interest is giving kisses to anyone that will let her. So naturally after we lost her playmate to kidney disease we went back to Denise for another. We decided on our little guy Dexter. He is blue Merle with 2 blue eyes and again such a sweet pup that adores my kids! The two dogs get along great and are constantly playing as we hoped for Athena. Honestly I'm glad we found them! We have two great dogs and I can only thank Denise for that!
Brad
My mom has purchased 3 pups in the past (1 Shih-Tzu & 2 Maltese/Shih-Tzu mix) from them and they are so so perfect and get along great with other animals! I just also purchased myself a new puppy, mini Aussie, and he is so well behaved! All of their dogs are so so wonderful! I was updated with pictures and how he was doing while waiting to finally bring him home. Highly recommend, wouldn't go anywhere else!
Felicia
I got my miniature Australian Shepherd from Denise she was born 12/16/2015 and she is so beautiful and full of personality! Denise was always very responsive to my emails and quick to send picture updates on my baby. She is by far one of the best breeders to adopt from I could not be happier with my beautiful pup!! Look no further if you are considering Denise.
Matthew
We got our Shih Tzu puppy from Denise. Maggie was born on 12/18/15. From the day we adopted our puppy, Denise was always there for us. Ask questions about our little girl, she would reply back ASAP!! Sent week photo updates, and as Maggie got older video's too!! Our puppy was socialized, knew her name when called(we saw that on a video). Denise does a wonderful job!! You won't be sorry, in adopting a puppy from Denise!! One of the best breeders on the East Coast!! We were lucky to find her!!
Robert
My shin tzu was born on Oct 21,2014, I got picture every week till I brought my puppy home, I can call and have called if I had any questions about the puppy, she loves each and every puppy and I will keep in touch with her as long as I have my dog. If you are looking for a wonderful breeder she is it...
Teresa
I had been searching for a shih tzu puppy for awhile, many of the breeders I contacted took awhile to get back and weren't good about answering questions. I came across Denise, I was very discouraged after how the other breeders were and almost didn't inquire about Denise's puppies..boy am I glad I did! From our very first messages I knew I would get a puppy from her. She is very good about answering questions and gets back with you quickly. I had to wait awhile before I could get my baby and in that time she was great about sending pictures and updates on my puppy. The moment I finally got to hold my teddy was the most amazing feeling ever. Denise and her family were so wonderful and I got to meet Teddy's family too. Very well taken care of, she takes amazing care of the moms and dad's too. Teddy is an amazing puppy, so well behaved and loving. Denise and her family did a fantastic job raising him. Thank you again for our wonderful baby!
Denise
I purchased two puppies from this breeder and all I can said is that she's cares and love her puppies so much.I have two beautiful shit-zu .In the transition of waiting till my pups were ready to bring him,Denise always kept me inform of the puppies with pictures and videos.Even after they were home she follow up on them to make sure they were okay or if we had any questions. I thank her many times for her honesty and caring.
Millie
I bought a puppy from Denise's previous litter. What I love about Denise is she kept me updated every week on our puppies growth health and was always there when I needed questions answered. My puppy was in excellent health when we received him. He is now 5 months old and I still email Denise and ask question. She always replies and helps out with questions I may have. My puppy was flown from Florida to Seattle wa and Denise made sure we received the puppy in good health by phone calls and text messages. Denise is a very caring and living person who cares about her puppies and the people she sells them to. I didn't just get a great puppy and also made a friend. Kandis
