About me

Hi, my name is Hope Rager, owner of Aussies of Hope LLC and a 3rd-generation dog breeder. Thank you for considering me for the honor of adding a new member to your family ❤️

I’ve lived in Florida for over 15 years and was raised on a farm in Ohio caring for many animals, including breeding Rottweilers. My love for Australian Shepherds began when my mom had an Aussie named Jack, who was my daughter’s best friend and protector. After Jack passed, Grimm and Toga joined our family, and with the help of an amazing mentor breeder, Aussies of Hope was born.

Aussies are fun, energetic, incredibly smart, and a joy to raise. I am a small, hands-on breeder by choice, not a kennel. I’m involved with each puppy daily, getting to know their personalities so I can help match them to the right family. Whatever my pups need, they get.

I get very attached to my puppies, and when they leave, a piece of my heart goes with them. My goal is to provide you with a healthy, happy puppy with an excellent temperament—and maybe one day, you’ll come back for a second because every Aussie needs a buddy 😉

My promise to you: I will always be here, no matter how long it’s been since you brought your pup home. Questions, pictures, videos—even at midnight—I’ve got you covered. I’m not just your breeder; I’m your personal breeder.

Come visit, meet the pups, and let your new puppy choose you 🐾
