I'm Aspyn T., the breeder behind ARanchin’ Mini Australian Shepherds located in Pikeville, TN. My dogs are bred with heath, conformation, and temperament at the top of my priorities. My dogs are great companions for families with children, a couple who loves the outdoors, or just someone who is looking for a best friend. I am dedicated to find the perfect homes for the most perfect puppies.
Q. & A. with Aspyn
Why did you start breeding?
After falling in love with our male dog, Cactus, which we got as a family dog that would be able to help up around the farm. After doing lots of research I wanted to produce dogs that were highly versatile, that makes an excellent athlete with superior intelligence and a willingness to please. Overall I wanted to share this amazing breed with others who wants a lifetime companion.
What makes your program special?
My purpose was to produce high quality Miniature Australian Shepherds. I strive to produce puppies that have good conformation, but most importantly I strive to raise well rounded puppies. My puppies get introduced to kids, adults, as well as all farm activities. My puppies get loved on by all my cousins (I have 15 from ages 1-16) and they love to do farm chores with me!
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include blue merle, red merle, red, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

About Colorado
We got Colorado in September of 2020, she is jam packed with personality and is the cutest thing around. She never misses a chance to go down to the barn and will not let you leave her if she thinks you are going to ride horses without her. She never meets a stranger and is the best cuddlier around. She raises the pretties and healthiest mini aussies you will ever see. She is registered American Stock Dog with ASDR as well.

Miniature Australian Shepherd
About Cactus
We got cactus in June of 2018, in search of a family dog. After falling in love with his personality and his conformation, we knew we had to find a mate for him so we could pass on his amazing traits. Cactus’ favorite things to do is work on the farm, go trail riding and camping, and be anywhere with his family. He is registered American Stock Dog with ASDR.
