Family dogs.
Adventure companions.

At Cliff Ledge Aussies, Australian Shepherds are more than the dogs we raise—they are part of our family and the heart of our everyday adventures.

Our story

Small by choice.
Family at heart.

We are a small, family-owned Australian Shepherd breeder in Burlington, Connecticut, serving families throughout New England and nearby communities in Massachusetts, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Pennsylvania. Our dogs are raised in a loving home environment where they enjoy woodland walks, frisbee, outdoor adventures, and plenty of time alongside our family.

We are devoted to producing healthy, happy Australian Shepherds with excellent temperaments, sound structure, and the intelligence and versatility that make this breed so remarkable. Each pairing is thoughtfully considered with health, temperament, conformation, and genetic diversity in mind.

Our breeder

A life shared
with Aussies.

Cliff Ledge Aussies is a small, family-owned breeding program shaped by everyday life with Australian Shepherds. Our dogs live alongside us as family companions and join us for woodland walks, outdoor adventures, frisbee, seasonal activities, and quiet time at home.

That firsthand experience informs how we plan pairings, observe temperament, introduce puppies to new experiences, and help families understand the intelligence, sensitivity, athleticism, and companionship of the breed. We believe prospective families deserve clear answers, documented health information, and an honest conversation about whether an Aussie is the right fit.
