I'm Dennis F., the breeder behind D & L Mini Aussies located in New Plymouth, ID. Our puppies receive love and attention from the moment they are born. They require a loving family that will have time for them. We love and cherish each pup and look forward to giving them to a good home. These pups are amazing and very smart. I hope you recognize how awesome this breed is.
Q. & A. with Dennis
Why did you start breeding?
When I was a younger guy, I had an Australian sheapherd appear on the farm. He stank to high heavens, so I bathed him and fed him. He stuck around for 6 months and would make patrol rounds around our farm every morning and help keep the animals in their pens. He was amazing. I fell in love with the Aussie breed and started breeding minis.
What makes your program special?
Our pups are sweet and smart, pure breed and registered through ASDR. I wouldn't say our breeding program is necessarily more special than anybody else's. But we enjoy having these wonderful puppies and intiligent dogs in our homes.
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 and black tri. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
