Meet the breeder

I'm Mary M., the breeder behind Cabin Hearth Miniature and Toy Australian Shepherds located in Mifflin, PA. Our dogs have brought so much joy into our lives and we want everyone to experience that happiness. Our puppies are raised in our home. We are focused on nutrition, early exposure to new things, and of course lots of time to play and snuggle up with our family of six.

Q. & A. with Mary

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We got our first Miniature Australian Shepherd and quickly realized that we love everything about her. We have worked hard to learn all we can about breeding responsibly and preserve and pass on the wonderful characteristics of the Australian shepherd. Our dogs are health tested and ASDR Registered. Finding the right puppy can be so overwhelming and frustrating. Our goal is to provide you a place to answer questions and concerns and pair you with the puppy that best fits your lifestyle. We want every person we interact with to have an excellent and positive experience in bringing home their new beloved companion.
  • What makes your program special?

    We treasure each puppy in our program and give them all the attention and care that we possibly can. We work hard so our puppies can leave our home with confidence, ready to take on the world with their new family! We are dedicated to always providing you with a positive experience, which includes remaining committed to responsible practices when it comes to breeding, training, and rehoming our puppies.
  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

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

    They live in my home.

    Duke (we kept his name, it fit him perfectly!) just turned 1 year old and from day one we have had the best experience, from our first call with Mary - who was super supportive and excited along with us throughout the process - to picking up Duke and bringing him home. He has a friendly and easygoing temperament, he loves to play with other dogs and is so friendly towards people. He loves to go on long walks but also enjoys a lazy day on the couch, and everywhere we go he gets compliments on how great his markings and figure are. We couldn’t ask for a better experience with getting our first dog, and would recommend Cabin Hearth and Mary to anybody looking for the mini Aussie breed!

    Mary @ Cabin Hearth was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was super sweet & very responsive; texting & answering all our calls & questions. Oakley (now Peroni) is the most beautiful & sweetest pup ever. An amazing addition to our family! We are completely in love with her! 💕 I have never considered purchasing a pup through a community website like “GoodDog” & was even skeptical; but what a wonderful, pleasant & simplistic process. I was able to personally speak w/ the breeder (Mary) and learn more about Oakley & Oakley’s parents; assuring she was a healthy pup, coming from a healthy family being raised in a loving home. And she truly has. Mary has such a caring & compassionate soul; you can see she truly cares & loves her pup family. If you’re looking for a beautiful & healthy Mini Aussie/pup, I highly recommend Mary-Cabin Hearth! Thank You Mary for raising such beautiful & sweet Aussies Pups! 💕 https://www.cabinhearthaussies.com/

    Cabin Hearth was an absolute pleasure to work with. Mary patiently answered all of our questions as this was our first time getting a puppy from a breeder. We couldn’t be happier with Rocky. I would absolutely work with Cabin Hearth again in the future.

    Working with Mary to bring my little red Merle Sage home was a wonderful experience. Mary is very caring with her puppies. They are part of the family, well socialized, and very happy healthy puppies. Mary was so easy to work with, I asked her if she would be able to start crate training her a bit. Right away she sent a video of Sage in a crate, being very content. Anyone looking to bring a mini Aussie into your life this is the breeder to use. I can’t praise Mary enough. Thank you for my little Angel. Patricia.

    Mary was responsive and helpful. She was flexible with my schedule as well. Bella (now Ruby) is a very sweet, smart and great family dog. We all like her very much and have enjoyed having her in our home. We’re grateful they were such a reliable, responsible and attentive breeder for us.
