James Valley Aussies

Cayelea B.

Breeder of Miniature Australian Shepherds

Meet the breeder

I'm Cayelea B., the breeder behind James Valley Aussies located in Missouri. Our mission is to raise healthy, happy, adorable Miniature Aussie puppies and connect loving families with their new best friends! Our puppies become integral members of our family. They’re a daily part of everything we do until they’re ready to join their forever families.

Q. & A. with Cayelea

  • What makes your program special?

    Our litters are raised in our home. We don't keep our pups in a kennel or out building. I believe this is incredibly important for the puppies personalities and their ability to bond with their new families. Growing up, learning our daily routines and actively being a part of our every day lives for the 8 weeks they are with us provides them with much more human exposure than other programs. At this time, I only have one cross. Only having 1-2 litters a year allows me the ability to truly give the puppies and our adults the attention and affection they deserve.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
