Meet the breeder
I'm Stephanie B., the breeder behind Faunus Farms and Aussies located in Macomb, MO.

Q. & A. with Stephanie
Why did you start breeding?
Our family moved back to MO in 2023 and bought 74 acres of pretty much raw land here and have been working to get the property the way we'd like. We homeschool, garden, raise animals and our dogs are our partners. The deeper we've gotten in, the more work it's been. But we wouldn't have it any other way! We love our lives here and the company we keep!What makes your program special?
Our dogs live on a farm with sheep, pigs, rabbits and chickens. We try to introduce them to our animals while young so that they will easily be placed in a work environment. We also have carefully chosen each of our breeders via markings, bloodlines, and other reputable breeders. We practice ENS and early training with our litters as well,as feel it is of high importance.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 and a kennel on my property.

Litter and program updates

Program update on 29 Jan •…✨ Big milestones coming up! ✨ Our vet checks, health certificates, and microchips are officially scheduled! 📅 February 10th – Cerise x Shade litter 📅 February 12th – Zelda x Shade litter ❤️ Time is flying, and I’ve got several families already scheduled for puppy pickups 😁 How exciting!! I truly can’t wait for you all to meet your new best friends 🐶💕 All of these puppies are doing fantastic. Cerise’s babies are especially chunky right now — with such a small litter, they’ve had the luxury of an open milk bar with zero competition 😄 That said, I do fully expect her puppies to mature a bit smaller than Zelda’s, as Cerise herself is quite dainty and petite. All puppies are now over 6 weeks old and have received their first vaccine ✔️ If the weather cooperates, we should be able to start having some outdoor fun early next week 🌤️ I’m really hoping our final picture day can be outside — those are always my favorite photos ❤️ The countdown is on! 🐾✨

Stephanie was incredibly responsive throughout the entire process, and it’s clear she truly cares about her dogs. We received weekly photo updates of our puppy, which made the experience even more special. Pickup was smooth, well-organized, and efficient, with all necessary documents ready

Verified owner · Jan. 2026
Stephanie was super easy to work with, I had a lot of questions as first and she was very detailed on answering back. We weren’t able to pick up our pup until a later date and she was flexible and provided different options for pick up. It was amazing to have a local breeder be so mindful and caring towards the pups well being.
Stacy C.
Verified owner · Dec. 2025
Stephanie was AMAZING to work with! It’s been a little over a year since our beloved lab passed away so getting a new fur baby was a big decision. Stephanie shared new pics of our boy throughout the process and answered all my questions within minutes. When we met I could tell right away how much she cared about her dogs. Our hearts are full once again with our boy Bentley!❤️
Derick B.
Verified owner · Feb. 2026
Stephanie was amazing to work with! She was very helpful through the whole process and kept me updated regularly with new photos as well as how he was doing. Being able to see both parents history was also great and reassuring to me. Romeo was in good health coming home and has brought me so much joy already, he’s such an adorable and sweet boy! I would highly recommend Stephanie if you are looking for a puppy as she cares about both the puppies and who they are going home with.

Stephanie was great she was and is so helpful plus very knowledgeable about the breed!! Stephanie trained Luna (My Puppy) to not be afraid of other animals or people! I traveled for 2 days to get to pick up Luna and then another 2 to days to bond with her what a wonderful time we had with a 2 month old pup in the car! If I ever get another Dog I want it to be from Stephanie at her farm!! Thank you for such a wonderful time and many more to come, You are awesome!!
