I'm Terri E., the breeder behind Eardley Acre Mini Aussie & American Shepherds located in Jerseyville, IL. We are a family-based program that is built upon a foundation of love, admiration, and respect for everything American Shepherd!

Q. & A. with Terri

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Our love for American Shepherds inspired us to share this amazing breed with the world in a responsible way. It is an honor to represent these dogs and create opportunities for others to experience the same joy that we've found in raising them.
  • What makes your program special?

    Our breeding stock is healthy and has been genetically tested prior to producing puppies. By creating an environment of health and harmony for young puppies, we believe we are able to give each little pup the very best chance to reach its potential, express its best character, and bring forth its greatest gifts in the relationship with itself and to its family.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our Miniature American Shepherd puppies include black, red merle, blue merle, and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
