I'm Amy D., the breeder behind Circle D Miniature Australian Shepherds located in Malvern, AR. We raise show quality, ASDR registered Miniature Australian Shepherds. All of our adult dogs come from Champions (except Maggie) and have had genetic testing done. Our male, Spike, is a Champion himself. Our puppies are well-socialized and raised in our home.
Q. & A. with Amy
Why did you start breeding?
My daughter asked for an Mini Aussie for her 17th birthday. After that, we fell in love with the breed and decided to add another to the family. We now have three females and two males as part of our family.
What makes your program special?
All our dogs come from the best bloodlines and are registered with ASDR. They are all products of champions. Our older male, Spike is a champion himself. If you breed quality then you will produce quality! All our dogs are tested for genetic issues. Our goal is to produce quality Mini Aussies that meet all breed standards.
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.
