Cornerstone Mini Aussies
Meet the breeder
I'm Christie M., the breeder behind Cornerstone Mini Aussies located in Springfield, MO. We believe that quality genetics are important in your pet, but time spent investing in the early stages of a puppy's life can take them from good to GREAT! When you take your puppy home it will be in top health and will have already been introduced to many sights, sounds and daily snuggles!
