    Our experience with Micheline at Mimi's Aussie was wonderful from start to finish. From our very first conversation, it was obvious that she is passionate about Australian Shepherds and truly cares about each of her puppies. She stayed in touch throughout the entire process, kept us updated on our puppy's progress, and was always happy to answer our questions. We really appreciated being able to meet our puppy before bringing him home—it made us feel even more confident that we had found the right breeder. Micheline was also very upfront about the purchase price and pickup details, so there were never any surprises. Bringing home a new puppy is a big decision, and Micheline made the experience exciting and reassuring every step of the way. We are so grateful for the care she gave our puppy before he joined our family, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mimi's Aussie to anyone looking for a healthy, well-loved Australian Shepherd. Levi has been a wonderful addition to our family and has a fantastic temperament

    Working with Micheline to get our new family member, Bo, was great! She sent progress photos and updates and once we told her his name we picked, she began using it with him. Bo is smart and beautiful…we get lots of compliments on him. He had his vet check today and he’s in very good health!

    Mimi’s Aussie is really well-behaved and smart! When we open the gate to let him out to play, he sits down and waits patiently. We set up a pee pad indoors, and by the second day he was already using it correctly most of the time. Mimi has also been so kind and quick to answer my questions. I really appreciate her for raising such a sweet puppy!

    We could not have been happier with Micheline! She was extremely communicative, kind, & clearly cares for all her puppies as they prepare to go to their forever homes. :) Atlas is a sweet, excited little guy & we are so excited to welcome him into our family.

    Micheline was a blessing to work with. After going through a loss of our family member, Mimi was heartfelt and involved every step of the way in finding our new bundle of joy. 10/10 best experience.

    Couldn’t be happier with our care and help that Micheline provided as we went through the process of adopting our newest addition!!! She was always quick to respond (even from my initial message inquiring about her pups). She sent photos every week sometimes more updating us on our girl and always willing to answer any questions I had! Was just so kind and you can tell how much she loves her dogs and it shows through her puppies!!! She was willing to make it as easy as possible to pick up our pup!!! If you are looking for not only beautiful puppies but puppies that are loved so much even before their forever home look no further, could not recommend her enough!
