Meet the breeder

I'm Annette D., the breeder behind Blue Springs Aussies located in Eldon, MO. Australian Shepherds make great pets and or working dogs. They are happiest when they are with their humans. You can find your next best friend here at BSA. We raise Toy and Mini size. We strive to place the right puppy with the right family according to the owner's needs, wants, and desires. We take great pride in finding our fur baby's new forever home!

Q. & A. with Annette

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We got our first Aussie when we moved to our farm 15 years ago. That started my love for the breed, then for my birthday in 2011 my husband and kids gave me a Toy Aussie. That’s all it took. I was hooked to this breed. I’ve always wanted to raise dogs, just wasn’t sure which breed and also needed to convince my husband this would be a good idea.
  • What makes your program special?

    We strive to raise healthy, good temperament, well-socialized puppies. We give them a great start in life which helps them transition to their new furever homes much easier.
  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
