Meet The Breeder

Hello! I'm Hanna Brister, and I am the Owner of Stormborn Aussies LLC. My journey in the Aussie world started when I attended Vet School and where I was working with Exotics, specifically parrots, at the time. I became a certified Animal Behaviorist and I worked in a clinic that specialized in Avian practice. I volunteered at the MAARS(Midwest Avian Adoption&Rescue Services) Center to help rehabilitate birds and give them proper care and handling. I was then assigned to kennel duty onsite at my college. This completely changed my passion. I fell in love with a little Aussie puppy, who I named Samwise, and it was history from there. From the moment he was mine, he was fiercely loyal, and he was always by my side. I knew I would always want a dog like Sam. So with the time that I had spent studying genetics in Vet School, I became extremely interested in pursuing the breeding path. The more I learned, however, the more I knew that Sam was a great pet but he would not make a great breeding dog. He had many health complications from early on, and I knew his puppies would be just the same. So he lived a full life as our pet instead.

Sam lived to be 10 years old before he made his trip to the rainbow bridge, and he took a big piece of our hearts with him. He is the entire reason we fell in love with this breed and why we are here today. Nobody could ever fill his shoes around here, he was one in a million. Rest easy my special boy, until we meet again. |

As I started to work towards opening a kennel, I took a job managing a Starbucks near my hometown. This allowed me more time to dedicate to studying my breed. I sought out a mentor and slowly acquired quality foundational dogs. I've always been dedicated to bringing in healthy and stunning dogs with phenomenal temperament. I enrolled in a few programs to further my knowledge and capabilities to enhance the quality of my kennel. As we continue to grow, our mission and values remain in the integrity of the dogs and to maintain ethical standards in breeding. I am so excited to work with you! |
