Rista Aussies was started about 14 years ago.  The name came from Ri for Rick and Sta for Stacy.  On a trip with Janice Faust to get Dallas, we were thinking of kennel names and that is where it came to be. 

Aussies have been my love since I was 16 years old when my dad brought home my first aussie for my 16th birthday.  I instantly fell in love with the breed and can't imagine my life without them. They are the most awesome dogs!!!

Rista Aussies is located in Lakeland, Florida.  My husband and I both are 5th generation Florida crackers.  We have 2 wonderful children, Dalton who is 13 and Makayla who is 6.  Dalton is quite the baseball player and really doesn't have time to show dogs, but I'm hoping that Makayla will be the one that will have a love for showing like I do.  Teeka is our exchange student from Thailand.  He really enjoys playing with the dogs.
