Meet the breeder

I'm Julie A., the breeder behind Aussie Trail Farms located in North Fort Myers, FL. We're passionate about raising well-rounded pups who will excel in any venue with their new families. We take pride in our pups. We are an in-home program where our dogs are our companions first and foremost. We are dedicated to providing each of our puppies with loving and caring forever homes. Our parents are all genetic testing. We start the potty training process before pups leave. All of our pups come microchipped, vaccinations to date, wormed, first month flea and tick and heartworm and a puppy pack with toys, food, trats and more.

Q. & A. with Julie

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We love the Aussie breed. Our dogs have brought us so much joy and happiness that we wanted to give back to them by producing the highest quality dogs and providing them a wonderful life with wonderful families. It has been an absolute joy of a journey.

  • What makes your program special?

    We are very proud to be breeding these incredible dogs. It is important to us that we are breeding versatile, well-rounded, socialized, and healthy pups for our buyers to welcome into their homes and hearts. Our dogs are a huge part of our lives, and we enjoy spending time with them; whether that be through completing our various day-to-day activities together or just cuddling up at night.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our Miniature American Shepherd puppies include black tri and red merle. Australian Shepherd puppies include red merle and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
