Q. & A. with Mariano
Why did you start breeding?

I don't run a large kennel I raise my puppies one litter at a time with full attention and care. Each Mini Aussie is raised in my home, where they're loved, socialized, and treated like part of the family from day one.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
