Q. & A. with Monica

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Dogs have always been a part of my life. I have spent 30 years training and grooming dogs. I always wanted to breed a nice quality litter. Starting out with the very best dogs. Conformation, breed standard and temperment are what I breed for.

  • What makes your program special?

    We set ourselves apart by our high standards. Our parents are health tested and our pups come with a health guarantee. The puppies are vet examined have age appropriate vaccinations and wormed on a schedule. They use a doggy door, which makes them easy to potty train. We are here to help you raise a quality, healthy, happy family member.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

    We couldn’t have found a better breeder to purchase our second Aussie! Monica is definitely a reference when it comes to raising healthy and beautiful puppies. We got our little girl 100% healthy and full of energy. Also extremely calm for an Aussie, and used to being in a crate. Couldn’t be more grateful, and I will definitely recommend her to every Aussie lover I know!

    I want to start off my review by saying thank you to Monica ( Little Wood Toy and Mini Aussies). We are extremely pleased and adore our new fur baby. Your care, love, and socializing has set the tone for her and made adjusting into our home a breeze. Monica made the process and experience so positive and easy. She answered all my crazy questions with patience and understanding. Sent picture and video updates weekly. We are still in communication since bringing her home. Monica sends wonderful helpful tips or suggestions to ensure the transition is a success. We live 6 1/2 hours away from Little Wood and arranged a meet pickup point. The exchange was so easy! Received communication that morning with expected ETA as well as updates how our pup was handling traveling. They were on time (even 15 min earlier than scheduled) and we were given take home care package with all information plus extra goodies. Our girl is thriving and has the cutest personality. Kids are obsessed. My husband and I said hearing all the sweet giggles and smiles Hazel is bringing to our family just completes us. Thank you again!
