Happy dogs.
Even happier families.

We could not imagine our family without our Cliff Ledge Aussie.

When we brought home Charlie, our first Aussie (a tri), he instantly filled our home with love, laughter, and loyalty. From the moment we picked him up, he was healthy, well socialized, and already comfortable with people. He brought our family so much joy that we came back to Cliff Ledge for Archie, our blue merle. Charlie and Archie each have their own personality, but they share the same traits that keep bringing us back: loyalty, love, and laughter. Our family didn't just grow with the dogs. We became part of the Cliff Ledge family. Jon and Shelby were there for every step of choosing the right dog for us and answered all our questions. Even years later, they're just a text away with advice. They're the only people I trust when we go away, and the dogs get so excited for sleepovers at the Rondeaus' where they get to see all their friends. So getting a third dog from them was a no-brainer. Marley, our Aussiedoodle, is a special girl full of spunk and sass, and she completes our family. We even knew her mom! All three came home well adjusted and easy to train, which says a lot about how they were raised. They're healthy, confident, gentle, and patient, wonderful with family and guests, and part of everything we do. Because our dogs came from Cliff Ledge, I know they were born and raised in a loving, knowledgeable home. You don't just get amazing, fun-loving dogs. You get a support system along the way. If you're considering a puppy, I can't recommend Cliff Ledge enough. We wouldn't go anywhere else!

Jett has been the perfect addition to our Family

We welcomed our amazing Australian Shepherd, Jett, into our family when he was just 4 months old, and he has been the perfect addition ever since! Jett has always had such a gentle, mild-mannered temperament and is an incredibly loyal and loving companion. He is fantastic with children and other dogs, beautifully socialized, and exceptionally well-mannered. Not only is he a gorgeous dog, but his sweet personality and easygoing nature make him truly special. Jett fits right into our active family lifestyle, and we couldn’t imagine our family without him!

Muppet has been My best friend.

“I found Muppet when she was 6 months old at a time where I needed a friend the most. Jon and Cliff Side Aussies were not only incredible to work with, but you could immediately tell how much love he has for these dogs. No matter their personality or age (and these dogs have a lot of personality) Jon treats every single one like they’re a part of his family. Someone who cares that deeply about their pups is someone you’d want to find a dog from. Muppet has been the best friend I could’ve asked for. Whether I’m hiking, mountain biking, running or just going out in public she’s always by my side. I can’t thank Jon enough for giving me a chance with one of his dogs. I tell everyone it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made”.

The experience was unmatched

Four years ago, I reached out to Jon looking for a puppy, and from day one, the experience was unmatched. He was so responsive, sending updated photos and videos of Brodie that day. When I met Jon in person a few days later, he took the time to show me several puppies in the litter rather than just rushing me toward the one I had originally come to see. He encouraged me to spend time with each dog and choose the one I felt most connected to, not just the one I liked best in a photo. That advice made all the difference. I picked Bodie because of the amount of eye contact we shared during that first meeting, and he turned out to be my soul dog. Jon answered every question with so much patience and care, making it clear that any puppy of his would always have a safe home with him if life ever changed. He checked in frequently while Bodie was adjusting to his new home, and even four years later, we are still in touch. You don't just get a dog from Jon; you get lifelong support from someone who truly loves every single pup he raises. Bodie is now 4 years old, perfectly healthy, incredibly athletic, and the best companion I could ever ask for. He is so smart, confident, and social with everyone including other dogs, kids, and strangers alike. Those striking blue eyes get compliments everywhere we go! He is a huge part of everything we do: home improvement runs at Home Depot, weekend hikes, lake swimming, boat rides, running "doggy 5Ks," and even ski trips to Vermont. If you are looking for a high-quality Australian Shepherd and a breeder who genuinely cares, I can’t recommend Cliff Ledge Aussies enough. We couldn't ask for a better dog or a better breeding experience!

I wasn’t looking for a new dog

I wasn’t looking for a new dog. I had just lost a dog a month earlier to cancer. My sister saw how down I was feeling and mentioned a dog that was for sale. I had no intention of buying that dog, but to make my sister happy I went to see it. Needless to say we didn’t hit it off, but then two huge blue eyes with an Australian Shepherd wrapped around them, ran up to me. We played, and I gave him a bunch of treats. Jon suggested I take him home for the night and well that was pretty much the end of that Rocky and I have been inseparable ever since thank you Jon.
