I'm Doug E., the breeder behind Mini Aussie Florida located in Winterhaven, FL. We’re devoted to ensuring there are healthy puppies for others to enjoy and we do so by responsibly growing this incredible breed. We commit ourselves to preparing each one of our puppies to thrive in their new homes, and we enjoy working with their new families so that they can raise their beloved companions with confidence!
Q. & A. with Doug
Why did you start breeding?
We bought our first Mini American Shepherd four years ago and fell in love with her, Lucky, so we thought it would be a good idea to breed her and bless others with dogs like her.
What makes your program special?
Our puppies have a clean, fun, and loveable environment in which they are raised. We clean our kennels regularly and spend time with our puppies so they have human interaction.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are blue merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
