Why did you start breeding?
My mom was already a breeder she wanted to do get into a new breed and fell in love with the mini aussies and kinda just took off from there.
What makes your program special?
We are small we don't do it to just make a money we do it because I love the experience I get to share with them to feel the babies inside moving around in the mommas belly to be right there with them to support them having their babies.

Our Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
