Meet the breeder

I'm Nate B., the breeder behind Dogwood Blossom Aussies located in Colbert, GA. Our dogs are ASDR registered Australian Shepherds. They are not toy, but they are small miniatures. They will be slightly under 30 pounds and are extremely athletic. Our oldest male is 11 years old and still acts like a puppy. Our pups love being outside and playing in the sunshine, but they also love curling up on the rug to watch TV. They are small enough to be lap dogs, but also work farm animals like a full size.

Q. & A. with Nate

Why did you start breeding?
We started breeding because we loved our two Aussie's temperments and personalities and wanted them to have puppies to continue on their bloodlines. They have been wonderful companions and loyal, brilliant family members.
What makes your program special?
We only breed our pets that live in our home so we only have a maximum of one litter a year. They are held and played with daily, and are started housebreaking before they leave our home. They are show quality ASDR aussies, but they are treated like family members.
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, black tri, red tri, and red merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Parent dogs

Sadie, mom
Miniature Australian Shepherd
About Sadie
Sadie is the sweetest dog I have ever been around. She wants to be loved on always, and loves to have her ears scratched. She loves toys, but is more laid back and calm than other aussies. She loves to go on walks, and especially loves playing on the beach. She can't wait to hop into the car when I ask her if she wants to go.
Good health testing
Multiple Drug Sensitivity (MDR1).
Scout, dad
Miniature Australian Shepherd
About Scout
Scout is a velcro dog that has to be with me at all times. He is extremely protective of our kids, and stays between them and visitors he has never met. He will chase a ball for hours on end, and loves to curl up beside you and be petted. He loves going on walks and comes running when he hears his leash.
