Meet the breeder

I'm Mitch S., the breeder behind Chiron Mini Aussies located in Walnut Shade, MO. Chiron Aussies focuses on traditional family and ranch style Aussies. Our approach starts where it should—with great breeding, temperament, and willingness to learn. We marry these world-class abilities with elegant conformation to curate a look that's both sophisticated and relaxed.

Q. & A. with Mitch

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I fell in love with the breed through my passion for breeding horses. I enjoy finding the perfect combinations of pedigree, temperament, structure, and genetics to produce exceptional dogs. What started as a love for the breed has grown into a passion for responsible breeding and preserving the qualities that make these dogs so special.
  • What makes your program special?

    Our program is built around the same principles I’ve used with horses for years: thoughtful pairings, strong pedigrees, excellent temperament, health, and structure. We focus on quality over quantity, carefully selecting each pairing to produce intelligent, healthy, beautiful Mini Aussies with outstanding temperaments and the ability to thrive as family companions.
  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include blue merle, black tri, red tri, and red merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Getting a puppy from Mitch

Mitch has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.

After buyers complete the application and screening process, Mitch partners with them to find the best puppy match.

“We carefully match each puppy with the family that best fits their personality, temperament, energy level, and lifestyle. Our goal is to create the right match for both the puppy and their new family, rather than simply choosing by appearance.”

Price

Puppy prices include a $500 non-refundable deposit that secures a specific puppy. The remaining $1,000 - $2,000 is due before pickup, plus applicable taxes and fees.

“Bi's and Tri's are priced at $1500. Merles are priced at $2500. A deposit reserves your place for an upcoming Chiron Mini Aussies litter. Deposits are applied toward the puppy’s purchase price and help us plan carefully for each family.”

Contract & health guarantee

Mitch may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Mitch offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don't hesitate to reach out to Mitch directly.
