Rachelle D.

Breeder of Miniature Australian Shepherds

Meet the breeder

I'm Rachelle D., the breeder behind Lake Mini Aussie’s located in St. Amant, LA. This is the 2nd litter for our girl. If you would like to see more pics of either litter please let me know. Her puppies are all healthy and happy. All of our dogs are loved as family members. We cherish our puppies from birth up until they leave our arms to snuggle into yours! When we got our first dog, we were instantly in love. Since then, we’ve made it our mission to bring happy, healthy puppies into the lives of other families!
