I'm Carla B., the breeder behind ATX Mini Aussies located in Austin, TX. I strive to produce quality puppies for families that are structurally sound, healthy, intuitive, and have wonderful temperaments. I breed healthy, beautiful puppies. I take my job seriously, knowing that my puppies will become someone's beloved pet. Each puppy is considered a member of my family, and I ensure they are socialized, healthy, and prepared to excel in their forever homes. My dogs are bred for those specifics, and I take pride in my breeding program. All of our puppies are raised in home with our small children. They are raised with puppy culture protocol and loved on daily. More than anything, we want to want to introduce a happy and loving new addition to you family.

PawPrint Genetic Panel (Breed Specific)
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
