I'm Amanda B., the breeder behind Bozzi's Little Aussies located in New Orleans, LA. We live in the super dog-friendly Touro neighborhood of New Orleans, where we have a big yard where our pups can run around and get plenty of exercise between walks. All of our puppies live with us, so they will get plenty of opportunities for socialization (with people and other dogs) and we will also provide basic potty training.
All of our dogs come from champion bloodlines and are treated like family. We breed for both confirmation (breed standard) as well as temperament. Feel free to come by sometime and meet the whole gang!
Q. & A. with Amanda
Why did you start breeding?
We got our first toy Aussie because we lived in a tiny townhouse and knew the breed needed room for exercise. After the first one, we became completely addictiv=ced to their goofy, fun intelligent personalities
What makes your program special?
I make sure all my pups are people and dog-socialized. We train them to use a doggy door, so they will be sent home well on their way to being potty trained. They are all raised in my house with my home with me and go home with a shot record you can give to your vet
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red, black, blue merle, and red merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Amanda, and I can't praise her enough for her responsiveness and exceptional care with our new puppy Ollie! It was such a great experience from our first interaction, Amanda was incredibly attentive, promptly addressing all our concerns and questions. Amanda's dedication and passion have truly made the transition to our new furry family member smooth and enjoyable. We are so happy! Highly recommended!

Amanda is so great to work with! You can tell she loves and cares for her dogs and puppies which is such a great feeling when you know your puppy has been so well taken care of before you bring him/her home! She’s responsive and goes out of her way to answer questions and make the adoption process easy! Not to mention she has the cutest puppies ever! We couldn’t be happier with Otis and are looking forward to bringing a sibling home soon too!

Amanda from Bozzi’s Little Aussies was extremely responsive. Any questions we had were answered quickly and we received pictures and videos regularly. Amanda flew to our local airport with our puppy which we appreciated since she best knew her needs. Callie has settled in quickly. She’s a beautiful dog who is very sweet and incredibly smart. We’re really enjoying her puppy antics.
