I'm Justin Y., the breeder behind Bellewynd Acres located in Blackfoot, ID. We are committed to breeding Miniature Australian Shepherds that exemplify the best of the breed—intelligent, athletic, and deeply affectionate. Our program prioritizes health, temperament, and structure, producing loyal companions, eager learners, and exceptional family dogs.
Q. & A. with Justin
Why did you start breeding?
We have always planned to become dog breeders. We came across our first dog (a male) a few years back and although we had never discussed breeding mini Australian Shepherd’s we immediately fell in love. We later acquired a female with plans to eventually breed her, which we did. We have loved the journey and hope to enjoy more litters in the future.
What makes your program special?
Our dogs are registered with the American Stock Dog Registry. We are committed to helping our customers have a good experience with their pups. We are always willing to answer questions, provide suggestions for training, and keep in touch even years after your purchase. Our pups have early exposure to children and farm life, and are specially suited for similar environments.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Miniature American Shepherd puppies include red tri-color and black tri. Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies include black tri and red tri. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

We have had a few puppies go to their new homes already! However, we still have four puppies left! Glacier 💙, Cascade 🩷, Rainier 🩷, and Acadia 🩷. These fantastic four love to wrestle, play together, and cuddle! Glacier loves to explore and find new smells. Cascade loves to run and chase after her dad, Hemingway. Rainier also loves to play, and will easily sneak up on you to get some loves. Acadia will lay on your arm or shoulder and cuddle for hours, if you let her 🙂.
They have been dewormed, received initial vaccinations, been microchipped, and are ready to go to their new homes! Reach out today and schedule a visit to come see these cuties.
