Meet the breeder
I'm Michael P., the breeder behind Mike & Josh- Small Mini/Toy Aussies located in Greensboro, NC. We fell in love with the breed because of their intelligence and personality. There’s hardly a better feeling than being able to share them with other families that will love them the way that we do!
Q. & A. with Michael
Why did you start breeding?
First got into breeding LARGE mini Aussies with my Mom about 30 years ago.What makes your program special?
Miniatures range in weight between 20-40 pounds and 14-18 inches. Toys are typically 20 pounds or less and 14" or less. We focus on breeding SMALL miniatures 20-25 pounds, 14-16 inches and LARGE toys. Most of our dogs we've had since they were a puppy. We bred not only for size but color and temperament (loveable).What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies include blue merle, black tri, red tri, and red merle. Toy Australian Shepherd puppies include black tri, blue merle, red merle, and red tri. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

We had a wonderful experience with Mike and Josh. They were very responsive and answered all my questions. My puppy has been the best boy! He’s nearly house trained and really is very good! He is all healthy and is the most beautiful dog!
