About Winnie
🐝 Winnie’s The Pooch’s Honey Bee Litter 🐝 From our hive to your home—five little sweethearts ready to steal your heart. 🍯 Thank you all so much for your patience as we prepared to introduce Winnie’s precious Honey Bee litter. Winnie welcomed six beautiful puppies into the world. While we are incredibly grateful for these little ones, one of our tiny bees was born sleeping. Although our hearts are heavy for the one we lost, we are cherishing the five healthy puppies who are thriving each day. Because these babies are so tiny, we wanted to give them the best possible start by waiting to announce the litter until we were confident everyone was doing well. We also wanted to allow Winnie the time to settle into motherhood without any added stress. She has been the sweetest, most attentive little mama and is absolutely shining in her new role. We are so excited to finally introduce our Honey Bee crew: 🐝 Buzz • 🐝 Drone • 🍯 Honey • 👑 Queen • 🏡 Hive

Aurora from Arizona Aussies was amazing to work with. I was looking for a new furbabby after I lost my dog of 10 years and after doing ample research I decided to get a Mini Aussie. I did some research and I was lucky enough to come by Auroras profile on GoodDog, as soon as I contacted her she was full of information and just so knowledgeable. I just want point out that I was impressed when I picked up my Ollie, they treat all their dogs with such care, they are family not a business. You can tell they really love their pups and that is so comforting to see. Ollie has been a happy, healthy dog, he is truly amazing. He was so easy to potty train because Arizona Aussies starts the work for you, like I said many times, THEY CARE. I would highly recommend Arizona Aussies they are kind and responsible. Thank you Aurora for giving me Ollie he is an amazing dog!

Once I had interest in my new pup Reese's, Aurora responded to me right away and helped me with every question I had! She also sent us home with lots of goodies to help us know what to buy for our knew pup! Arizona Aussies was so kind to me and is still helping me with all my questions today. I'm so blessed to have found them!
