Pickup & Travel

Located in Tennessee, Blue Buckaroo Mini Aussies proudly serves puppy families across the Southeast and nationwide. We do not ship puppies. We require our clients to come pick their puppy up in person. Many out-of-state families fly into Nashville, TN (or Huntsville, AL) and fly home with their puppy in cabin.

What Our Puppy Families Say

Testimonials aFour years ago, I reached out to Nicole to learn more about her puppies, and choosing a Bluebuckaroo puppy has truly been one of the best decisions of my life.
I know every dog parent feels their puppy is the most special in the world, but Bluebuckaroo puppies are genuinely something extraordinary. My boy has beautiful conformation, the sweetest and most balanced temperament, and has been incredibly healthy since the very beginning. He is everything I ever hoped for and so much more.
But what makes this experience even more meaningful is Nicole herself. She is not just a breeder, she is someone who truly, deeply cares about every single puppy she brings into this world and about the families they become part of. Her responsibility and love do not end once the puppy goes home.


Over the past four years, she has continued to check in, answer every question I’ve had, and guide me through anything related to health, development, or training. No matter how small the concern, she responds quickly, patiently, and with genuine care. That kind of support is priceless.
If you are considering a Bluebuckaroo puppy, know that you are not only bringing home an exceptional dog; you are gaining a breeder who will stand by you, support you, and truly care for your puppy’s happiness and well-being for years to come.
Forever grateful
❤️

I am so thankful for getting Reagan from you. She is so sweet, smart, loyal, and brings joy to everyone. I take her almost everywhere with me. You do an exceptional job in breeding and raising puppies that are easy to train and become a family member. She is such a blessing!!

After researching Australian Shepherd breeders for a couple of years, the moment we discovered Blue Buckaroo Aussies, we knew we’d found the perfect match.
Nicole’s deep care and genuine passion for the breed shine through in every aspect of her program. Her dedication has produced some of the most loving, well-rounded, and beautifully balanced Aussies we’ve ever seen.
We now have two incredible boys from Blue Buckaroo who have brought endless joy to our lives—and they’ve even gone on to become World Champion disc dogs! Their intelligence, drive, and affectionate nature make every day an adventure.
The ripple effect has been amazing: many of our family members and close friends have also welcomed Blue Buckaroo pups into their homes, and without exception, every single one is outstanding—healthy, happy, and full of that special Aussie spark.
If you’re searching for a breeder who truly prioritizes heart, health, temperament, and lifelong support, Blue Buckaroo is exceptional. We’re so grateful we found them!
