Meet the breeder
I'm Chris J., the breeder behind Minikin Manor located in Georgetown, TX. We are a small family breeder of quality toy Australian Shepherds in central Texas. All of our dogs and puppies are raised as pets and members of our family. Our breedings are carefully planned, taking into consideration quality, temperament, energy levels, and past pairings.
Q. & A. with Chris
Why did you start breeding?
I've always grown up with dogs. I was introduced into dog breeding by my mom at the age of 10. Even then I couldn't possible learn enough. I read every book I could get my hands on. After owning a Miniature Aussie and falling in love with the breed we began playing around with the idea of breeding. We researched absolutely everything. The rest is history!What makes your program special?
Our dogs truly resemble their larger counterparts. Temperaments, intelligence, and the true Australian shepherd are all preserved in our dogs. They are raised following a modified version of Puppy culture that we have geared towards our lines over many years. It involves enrichment activities, challenged, and exposure to as much as we can pack in. We stand 100% behind our puppies.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
