Illusion Mini Aussies
Meet the breeder
I'm Cherie D., the breeder behind Illusion Mini Aussies located in Chambersburg, PA. All my dogs are home-raised. I do not have a kennel. Puppies are born in my bedroom and then moved to the kitchen after weaning. We do a lot of basic socialization before you ever get your new puppy home.
