Meet the breeder

I'm Elsa M., the breeder behind Elsa’s lil Wiggle Butts located in California. I’m a small, in-home breeding program where I prioritize giving each dog and puppy the best care that I can. I cherish all of my aussies and enjoy sharing the love of this breed with other individuals and families!

Q. & A. with Elsa

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I had a mini Aussie girl for near 16 years. She inspired me. She was very smart, loved swimming. She was my buddy to say the least. She passed on May 15th, 2023. She aimed to please. I miss her. Now I breed mini Aussies so that I can share the love and cuddles from my lil wiggle butts.

  • 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.

    Elsa was very responsive and very knowledgeable about the breed. She answered all of our questions and matched us with the perfect puppy. We are so happy with our dog and highly recommend Elsa to anyone looking for their fur baby!

    Elsa was fantastic! She genuinely cares about her dogs and went above and beyond to make sure our puppy was ready. When we brought our puppy home, it was obvious how much love and attention had gone into raising them—the transition was smooth, and our pup was happy, friendly, and already showing great behavior. We also really appreciated the ongoing support. Even after bringing our puppy home, she’s available for advice and guidance, which speaks volumes about her commitment. If you’re looking for a responsible, caring breeder who truly prioritizes the well-being of their dogs, I highly recommend Elsa!

    We recently brought home a Mini Australian Shepherd puppy from Elsa, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. Our little girl has only been with us for a week, but she’s already become a beloved part of our family. She has such a calm, sweet temperament and is incredibly smart — she’s been picking up new things so quickly! Elsa was truly wonderful to work with. She was friendly, responsive, and always willing to answer our questions. It’s clear she genuinely cares about her dogs and puts a lot of time and love into raising them. We felt completely comfortable throughout the entire process and appreciated how smooth and thoughtful everything was. My kids absolutely adore our new puppy, and it’s been heartwarming to see how quickly they’ve bonded. We are so grateful to have found both an amazing puppy and such a dedicated, responsible breeder. Highly recommend working with Elsa!

    I couldn’t be happier with my experience getting my Mini Aussie, Archie, from Elsa! From the very first message, she was incredibly attentive and patiently answered every single one of my questions. She made the entire process so smooth and stress-free. Even now that Archie is home, she still checks in to make sure he’s settling in well. It’s clear she truly cares about her pups. I highly recommend her if you're looking for a beautiful, well-adjusted puppy!

    We just got our mini aussie, Deliliah, from Elsa at Elsa’s Lil Wiggle Butts, and she’s amazing. After losing our other mini unexpectedly to cancer, Deliliah has helped fill a huge void. She’s healthy, sweet, smart and so well-socialized. Our three boys — 3, 11, and 23 — and our 7-year-old mini aussie Bowie all adore her. Elsa was kind, transparent, and clearly loves her dogs. So grateful we found her. Highly recommend.

    Elsa was amazing. Apollo is such a kind, playful, and goofy puppy. My son, Chandler, is in absolute awe of Apollo. He loves to cuddle and kiss him and is already teaching him commands. Elsa kept me informed of Apollos milestones and she was so sweet as well as easy to communicate with. I recommend her 10 fold and will go to her to get another puppy in the future.
