Meet the breeder
I'm Kristal E., the breeder behind Kristal's Aussies located in Helotes, TX. We’re proud of the healthy, affectionate, and behaviorally well-rounded puppies we raise for other families to love! While our goal is to share loving puppies with families, we are still a selective program. We only breed when we’re sure we can produce the healthiest and best example of the breed possible.
Q. & A. with Kristal
Why did you start breeding?
My son has owned a Mini Aussie for 14 years now. Two years ago, I went and purchased my own (best decision ever!). As Gus, my son's pup, is getting older and slowing down, I felt like this was the perfect time to breed Sassy and get one of her pups for my son & Gus.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 are red tri. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Parent dogs
Sassy, mom
Miniature Australian Shepherd
About Sassy
Sassy is the best dog! She is so smart and has learned many commands almost instantly. As a 5 mo old pup, she showed us signs of possibly being a service dog when my mom was choking. She exhibited signs again a few months later so that is what we are working on again now that pups are bigger. She loves being outdoors, playing ball and frisbee but also loves training. She is a barrel of energy and a barrel of laughs every day. Best decision I ever made was getting her!

Kristal was great to work with! Caring for her own pups to make sure their going to a good, caring, fun and full of love home we’ve gotten one of her pups and his been a great friend to his cousin Oakley our other Aussie and they just go at it once they see each other even if their 2 years apart. So yes Cooper has been a great add on to the family without a doubt.
