Gable A Aussies

Melanie A.

Breeder of Miniature Australian Shepherds

Meet the breeder

I'm Melanie A., the breeder behind Gable A Aussies located in Myakka City, FL. We raise top-quality family-raised babies on our small piece of heaven. Our dogs are beautiful, affectionate, and loved! Our dogs are part of our family and we raise the puppies in the same manner. We raise our babies to be well-socialized and ready for the perfect family to continue the love they have been given from day one. We require that all buyers sign a Spay/Neuter contract that does not allow any of our babies to be used for breeding. We prefer they are just family members.

Q. & A. with Melanie

  • Why did you start breeding?

    A friend of mine showed up where I worked with this little puppy I could not resist, I brought her home and asked my husband what I should name her and he said GONE, 10 minutes later he named her Sadie and it is history from there. We love our dogs and they are our kids. The reaction and outpour of love for our dogs and puppies is why we do what we do.
  • What makes your program special?

    Our breeding dogs are part of our family and the puppies are raised the same way. Our vet specializes in reproduction for reputable breeders. Our females are ultra-sounded after 30 days from breeding, then we also x-ray to confirm the number and the size to be sure that all puppies and mommy are healthy and everything is ready for delivery. Our vet is amazing and always a text away.
  • 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, and red merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
