I'm Jacqueline O., the breeder behind C&J Miniature Aussies located in Minneapolis, KS. Our breeding program emphasizes health testing and quality genetics, with a focus on temperament and conformation. We decided to start a responsible, in-home breeding program in order to produce quality dogs. These dogs can do it all and we foster that versatility in our puppies from the beginning.
Q. & A. with Jacqueline
Why did you start breeding?
We got into breeding mini Aussies after getting, training and living with my sons seizure alert dog, Dixie, a miniature Aussie.
What makes your program special?
We strive for quality puppies and blue eyes. Our puppies are well socialized with adults, children, other dogs and livestock. They are very social and loving with good medium drives to be able to be house pets, show dogs or working dogs. We also offer one puppy per litter to someone who needs a blessing in their life. This is just something we feel strongly about and love doing.
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 are blue merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
