Why did you start breeding?
My parents raised standard Australian Shepherds my whole childhood and I have been raising and training Miniature Australian Shepherds for over 15 years myself. I am just in love with this beautiful and intelligent breed!

LuckyBones also donates a portion of our Puppy Proceeds to reputable animal shelters and animal non-profits.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies include tiny and miniature sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

Layne was very fast to respond and we were able to make a deal and meet time very quickly. My puppy was very healthy and I was glad that I could meet the parents on site. If anyone is thinking about getting an Aussie do not hesitate to reach out to Layne, she is very professional, knowledgeable and I highly recommend her.
