Meet the breeder
I'm Ashley&Alex G., the breeder behind Bear River Ranch LLC located in Pueblo, CO. Our dogs are bred for health and temperament from champion conformation lines. They are super smart and trainable wiggle butts 💜 We have a small farm with chickens, cats, horses and the dogs of course. We do OFA’s to make sure our breeding dogs have good hips and elbows to pass on!
Q. & A. with Ashley&Alex
Why did you start breeding?
I have loved and wanted to have/breed mini Aussies since I was a teenager and a friend had one. I finally reached a point in my life that I could afford some wonderful breeding stock and got to start that dream! I love sharing this breed with other people. My goal is to start showing my dogs when I have time. Our puppies come with limited litter registration with the ASDR unless otherwise noted.What makes your program special?
My program is super small high quality health tested dogs. My puppies are have wonderful temperaments and are so trainable. I love getting puppy updates, that’s my favorite part! We have parent dogs hips, elbows and patella’s examined, as one should, before breeding. This can be done at 2 years, at which time they are mature enough to breed safely. Puppies are raised and loved in our home.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, black tri, red tri, and red merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

They are playing with toys and wrestling and starting to run a little (clumsily). They have had their nails cut, been dewormed, and have their first vaccine appointment on the 18th!

Miniature Australian Shepherd
About Clementine
Clementine is my keeper from Trix x Ranger, the red merle girl that I asked Trix for 🥰 She is so sweet and trainable. She got a bit more of Ranger’s longer coat so far, but she is only 7 months old at this time so we still have growing and changing to do!
Good health testing
Collie Eye Anomaly (CEA), Multifocal Retinopathy 1 (CMR1), +4 more.Trix, mom
Miniature Australian Shepherd
About Trix
Trix steals the heart of everyone she meets and is a lovely example of the breed. She is hilarious and outgoing, wiggles her butt like crazy and just wants to snuggle everyone. Her genetic testing is done and she has OFA finals, showing that she is not passing on bad hips, elbows or patellas. She has been shown to her Elite champion puppy title.
Excellent health testing
Patellar Luxation, Collie Eye Anomaly (CEA), +10 more.
Parent health testing
Breeder-Reported Testing
Great level
Bear River Ranch LLC reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Miniature Australian Shepherds.
Hip Dysplasia
Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Patellar Luxation
Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.
DNA Disease Panel, Multiple Drug Sensitivity (MDR1)
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).
