    Layne stayed in constant contact with us. She held our dog for a bit for us till we were ready. We met up and she gave us our puppy. He was happy and healthy. She let us meet his mother. I recommend this breeder to anyone.

    What sets apart Lucky Bones apart from other breeders is Layne. She gives each pup individual attention and pure love several times daily. After weaning, each pup receives the highest quality dog food and begins socializing with the other dogs. Soon after, the pups are introduced to outside with maximum supervision. Layne is very accommodating to the needs of the buyer, with a personal touch and a very sweet attitude. From adolescent stage the pups are acclimated with a very sweet toddler, this ensures that they will come to you with just the right temperament. Each step of the puppy's development brings new updates and photos. This has been an amazing experience from start to finish. Thank you, Layne.

    Layne is clearly a loving and thoughtful breeder who has lots of experience and knowledge with miniature Australian shepherds. I greatly valued getting to meet the puppies and also their parents. They live in her home and are obviously part of the family. They all are happy, healthy, and adorable! Layne was very open in her communication, honest, and very supportive of answering all of my questions. She made the process very positive and we are loving our little pup she let us have to be part of our family. thank you Layne!
