Q. & A. with Kathleen
Why did you start breeding?
I have a flock of sheep the Mini Aussie fits perfectly with endurance and drive to manage moving them and keeping the Ram at bay. I also love their family closeness, ours are part of the family. You can often find us at soccer outings or the local hardware store with one of the dogs along.What makes your program special?
My focus on foundation, drive and an off switch makes this program special. They will sleep on the couch or run, swim all day. They respect home is calm outside is fun.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 are red merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Calm, easy to train. Loves meeting new people. Ollie is a dream companion dog. He loves his pack and would do for his boys. He definitely is a cannon dog he prances when he moves and is the fastest runner. He does not chase animals but will work animals when asked his playful nature does not do well in the field so he is not used on sheep and cattle he does much better at agility and fetch games.

Great experience from day one! I couldnt be happier with this pup. There are a lot of unknowns while purchasing from a breeder, especially across the internet and country. Kathleen, her husband and children care deeply for these dogs and it shows. My pup, Helios, is super sweet and loving. He was obviously well socialized. People who meet him are visably moved by how well behaved, lovable and cute he is. I was nervous about training off-leash but the since the breeding pair (also extremely sweet dogs) worked animals on the farm, they kept the pups in line. Helios stuck around me from day one and training off-leash was effortless. Helios is happy and healthy in his new forever home! Thank you Mirarchi Meadow!

It was evident from the moment that I brought my puppy, Bhindi, home that Kat had done a FANTASTIC job creating a solid foundation for Bhindi to thrive! When I received Bhindi, she already knew her name, was practically potty trained, and also socialized to be comfortable around adults, children, and other dogs! As a Physical Therapist, Bhindi is now the mascot of my practice and my patients love coming to see her! This little pup is such a blessing and radiates such love - she immediately wins over everyone who meets her! My experience with Mirarchi Meadows was far beyond my expectations and I am thrilled to be a part of the family/community that Kat has created!

+5We couldn’t be anymore happier with Mirarchi Meadow! Kathleen made it very easy for us as first time owners, she was very responsive to all our questions and always updated us with pictures and videos. Our Oakley (Jr.) was well trained and took transitioning into our home very well. He is silly, smart, and sweet. Kathleen is a really great breeder and would love to work with her again. We couldn’t recommend Mirarchi Meadows enough!
