Meet the breeder
I'm Christina W., the breeder behind DLT MiniAussie located in Norco, CA. Our program focuses on raising socially well rounded, friendly, family dogs. Our dogs live in our home and go on the road with us. The health, wellbeing and temperament of our dogs is of the utmost importance. After lots of research we decided to keep our puppies tails natural and keep all dew claws in tact. We are happy to discuss our research for this part of our program.
Q. & A. with Christina
Why did you start breeding?
I had an early start in animal breeding with my family breeding cocker spanials as a kid. As an adult I met my now husband Esteban in 2021 and he had just started his Mini Aussie breeding program. I immediately jumped on board and it became one of the many things that we love to do together.What makes your program special?
Our breeding dogs are our family dogs. We do not see a separation, in fact being able to breed them gives me that much more respect for them. We have a small program and desire to keep it that way to be able to raise healthy, happy animals with the utmost care. Esteban is curently in vet school and the knowlede he is gaining will only help us improve our program as the years go on!What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our Aussiedoodle puppies are mini size. Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Aussiedoodle puppies include blue merle, black phantom, and black tri-color. Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies include blue merle and black tri. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

+4I had a wonderful experience working with Christina to get the newest member of our pack. She provided weekly updates with photos and videos. Our puppy came home with a very nice care package that included homemade food. When I took my puppy for her wellness check my vet said that she was a well cared for healthy puppy. I highly recommend Christina to anyone looking for a puppy.

+4I had an outstanding experience working with Christina. From the start, she and her husband demonstrated deep expertise and total transparency regarding the parents health history, and overall breed expectations. Their communication was consistently prompt and thorough, and I always felt like I never missed a thing with regular updates on my puppy. Christina was also exceptionally accommodating, holding my pup for some additional time while I was traveling and till I felt like I was fully prepared for pickup. I would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated and responsible breeder!

+4Christina was very responsive and reliable. She was always consistent with updates. Pictures, videos, health and temperament. From the very start up until the moment we picked our girl up, Christina even made a care package with homemade puppy food. This is the level of care that will be given to the puppies. We have loved our newest edition to our family, Lilo has been such a happy healthy girl. She is our son’s new best friend. We thank Christina for her deep devotion and care to the puppies that allowed for such a great foundational start to their lives.
