I'm Carly G., the breeder behind Mutton Creek Aussies located in Dadeville, MO. Our dogs are bred for health and conformation. We focus on producing dogs that are structurally correct and healthy. Personality and temperament are also very important to us. Making sure clients are informed and knowledgeable about the breed and their traits are very important in placing our puppies.
Q. & A. with Carly
Why did you start breeding?
I had the opportunity to purchase my first Aussie and she was such a great dog. I wanted to help promote and improve the breed that is so smart and family-oriented. Not only do they make great farm dogs for work they also have the temperament to be just great companions.
What makes your program special?
We make sure that all of our breeding stock dogs are health tested. This is so important in that there are so many dogs out there that are not tested that have genetic problems that could shorten the life span of the dog. Our dogs are like family and we want to ensure that they are well cared for and that our clients can trust in us that our dogs will be free of genetic disorders.
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 blue merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in a kennel on my property.

Breeder-Reported Testing
Good level
Mutton Creek Aussies reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Miniature Australian Shepherds.
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
