I'm Jaci S., the breeder behind Blue’s Family Aussies located in Blacksburg, SC. We value health, conformation, bone structure, and coat here at BFA. We raise loving, versatile pets ready to play on family outings or just be couch potatoes! We have met some wonderful families along the way! We work hard to socialize and train our pups, and they exposed to livestock, cats, and children. Our Charlie has T21 and loves to play with the fluff balls. Rest assured, you will be provided with a quality family member! All prices are pet only. Breeding rights can be discussed.
Q. & A. with Jaci
Why did you start breeding?
During all that time, my mother also raised Aussies. My first dog was an Aussie I named Tuff. I have been hooked ever since. I have never been without one. I started breeding back in 2007 because everyone wanted my dog! They’re amazing family dogs and ranch dogs. I decided to continue doing it as more of a hobby. I love the breed and I love enhancing family life with them!
What makes your program special?
We’re all about family. I don’t want to send a puppy home with someone who will return it in a few months. We’re not about money, either. We try to keep our pets affordable for everyone. We strive to produce the perfect family dog. Here at BFA, you’re buying more than the eye and coat color. You’re getting a pet that wants to be underfoot, a best friend, and a guardian to you and your children. That’s what we’re about.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Miniature American Shepherd puppies include black, red merle, and blue merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Jaci was so responsive and knowledgeable about the breed. Stayed in touch and sent me regular updates about my puppy. Good Dog made the process so easy,from the initial connection with Jaci to arranging pick up and paying securely. I'm so glad I found Jaci through Good Dog, and I couldn't be happier with Gillie we renamed her to Bella Marie Little!! She is 4 months now and 5lbs!!!

From the very first message, working with Jackie was paws-itively wonderful. 🐾 She always responded quickly, sent us plenty of pictures and videos, and made the whole process feel so personal and exciting. We felt like we already knew little Ricky before we even met him.
It was truly love at first sight. 💕 Ricky has only been with us a week, but he’s already stolen our hearts. He’s such a smart little guy—he can already fetch a ball! His playful personality keeps us smiling, and the amount of joy he’s brought into our home in such a short time is incredible.
One of the most thoughtful touches was Jackie connecting us with one of Ricky’s siblings from the same litter. Now Ricky has a “pen-pal pup,” and we love keeping up with each other—it makes the whole experience feel like an extended family.
Jackie made everything so smooth and reassuring, and it’s clear she puts so much love into raising her puppies. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience—or a better new best friend. Ricky really is the pick of the litter! 🐶✨

We had a great experience getting our new puppy from Jaci. Fred has been great and has found a place in our hearts already. He is a bundle of energy and is very smart. He was already mostly house trained and we continue to work to keep him trained. He knows his name and has a favorite toy, out of the piles we have for him.

We loved working with Jaci! She was responsive, informative, and wonderful to work with. Our experience from start to finish was so easy, and we now have an incredible new smart, beautiful, healthy little family member. Even litter pan trained. 10/10 experience.

We had a great experience getting our sweet Daisy from Jaci! The entire process of talking with Jaci, to meeting to get the puppy was wonderful. Daisy came home mostly potty trained and we have continued to work on that. After just two weeks, she can sit, speak and come. She is so smart and affectionate. We are so thankful for our new furbaby! 🐾

Through Jaci, I picked up an affectionate and loving puppy, Lychee (formerly known as Strudel) . Jaci was responsive to all my questions and was able to make last minute accommodation when I picked the puppy up at the Charlotte airport which I had appreciated.
