I'm Aubrey M., the breeder behind Merrick Mini Aussies located in Jerome, ID. We strive to produce good family companions. Our dogs go everywhere with us-they are part of our family! Puppies are raised on our farm and in our home and handled daily by adults and children. They are exposed to other dogs, cats, chickens, and cows. We love our dogs and know you will too. We produce well-rounded, healthy pups who will be ready to thrive in their forever homes!
Q. & A. with Aubrey
Why did you start breeding?
As a lifelong animal lover, I have always wanted to be a breeder. As a stay-at-home mom, I am able to be in the home and raise kids as well as my puppies. This allows me to give each puppy extra individual attention to ensure that they are well-socialized and thoroughly loved. I am so thrilled that I have the opportunity to work with these dogs and share my love and passion with others.
What makes your program special?
I am constantly working to learn more about this breed and breeding practices. I strive to ensure that my dogs are genetically and physically healthy and strong. I am also very passionate about raising well-rounded family pets that will excel in any living environment! My dogs have brought so much joy to my family and sharing that with others is an honor and a privilege. I am so excited to introduce you to your new forever companion!
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include blue merle and red merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
