Meet the breeder

I'm Elizabeth K., the breeder behind Fun Size Heelers located in Laurinburg, NC. We were farmers in Illinois and we moved to Norh Carolina to retire. God has had some different plans for us. Last October my husband had a stroke. I'm unsure what our future is but I am currently downsizing my program. This is heartbreaking for me. I will be posting adult dogs from time to time. These babies are my family. Thank y'all for your kindness and understanding through this difficult journey.

Q. & A. with Elizabeth

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I'd love to share this, but it is a long story and too much to write here. I feel God has directed our path to here and if you would like to know, please ask! I love to share our journey! :)

  • What makes your program special?

    I like to think we are special, because these babies are our family. I call them all my four-legged children. Each one has a unique personality, but they all are loving and loyal. It is my hope that others will experience the same joy and love that my babies have brought to my family.

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our 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 Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies include blue merle, black tri, red tri, red merle, and red. Australian Cattle Dog puppies include blue speckled, red speckled, red mottled, blue mottled, and blue. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Elizabeth with Fun Size Heelers was truly a pleasure to work with. We got our precious girl Stormi from her and could not be happier. She’s truly a sweetheart and a wonderful addition to our family. Elizabeth was always available to answer questions and had a very quick response time. She also sent plenty of cute puppy pics up until pick up day. I highly recommend her for your next pup!

    Elizabeth is hands down the best breeder, you can tell they TRULY care for the dogs like their own and her love for the pups goes beyond the transaction. She was easy and patient to work with, so helpful and excited for us! We could not have picked a better family to work with! Elizabeth will forever be a family friend because of the love we share for our dog. Thank you for completing our family!

    Elizabeth was so easy to work with and helpful! We were able to pick up Kelly at a location and date that worked for us both, and she provided a wonderful package of toys to go home with him. I’d recommend her as a breeder to work with!

    When I began my search for a Miniature Australian Shepherd, I came across the Good Dog site. It was both a blessing and a challenge — there were so many wonderful breeders and adorable puppies to choose from! But as soon as I read Elizabeth's profile and learned more about why she breeds, I was immediately drawn to her and her puppies. You can tell from the start that Elizabeth truly cares about her dogs and the families they go to. From the moment I expressed interest, she provided daily updates with photos and videos that helped me get to know my puppy, Woody, even before bringing him home. She shared everything I needed to be fully prepared — from the specific puppy food to Woody's likes and dislikes. Pick-up day was seamless and thoughtfully arranged. Elizabeth went above and beyond by sending Woody home with a generous bag of toys, a blanket with his momma's scent, training pads, wipes, disposable bags, a big bag of food, treats, and even water and food bowls. She made the entire process so easy and reassuring. Woody is absolute perfection, and we could not be happier with our experience. He's adjusted beautifully into our home, joining his big brother Bentley and big sister Ripley. Even now, two weeks later, Elizabeth and I remain in contact — she loves getting updates and seeing how Woody is doing. I would absolutely go back to Elizabeth (Fun Size Heelers) when we’re ready to grow our family again, and I’ve already recommended her to a friend who’s looking for an Aussie. The care, love, and dedication she puts into her pups is something truly special.

    Elisabeth was great to work with. She provided regular updates and lots of great photos of my pup. On the day of pickup she meet me at the car with my puppy and was very welcoming. She is very knowledgeable on ACDs and offered very helpful training tips. Along with our puppy she also provided a bag full of toys and treats. She absolutely love our new puppy.
