Meet the breeder
I'm Ally V., the breeder behind Outlaw Minis located in Tucson, AZ. With an extensive background in behavior I am dedicated to breeding top notch MAS puppies that will flourish in many different home environments. I am dedicated to helping every family choose the pup that best aligns with their life style and goals.
Q. & A. with Ally
Why did you start breeding?
Being deep into the world of behavior and seeing how heartbreaking it can be on the family to work help their pups attain emotional health, I have made it my mission to help bring emotionally and physically healthy pups into the world. My breeding emphasis is surrounding helping pups become as resilient as possible.What makes your program special?
All of my pups are either second or third generation raw fed leading them to taking full advantage of the critical colonization period. In addition to setting them up internally for success, we start working on resilience and confidence as soon as appropriate with each puppy.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black, red merle, blue merle, and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Security is an amazing MAS that is a perfect combination of drive and snuggles. He would be just as content running my agility field as he would be snuggling up on the couch for a chill day.

+5Ally was great to work with! Our puppy, Benny (formerly Rodeo), is so sweet and well-behaved. We got him at about 16 weeks, and he already knew basic commands (sit, down, come, etc.), was comfortable in his crate, and great at settling. He also gets along so well with the other dogs in our lives. He has been the perfect match for us and our lifestyle. We're already looking forward to getting our next puppy from Outlaw Minis!

Ally was wonderful to work with -- we appreciated her prompt responses in communicating, being able to zoom and meet the pups as we were deciding, as well as all her amazing training tips + holistic care in preparing them to be ready for their new homes. We're thrilled to have Loki (Bullet) in our home and he is such a sweet pup.

When first doing research on breeders in the area I stumbled upon Ally and her Outlaw Minis page. Right from the beginning I felt very comfortable adopting one of her puppies! Her knowledge and experience with breeding and dog training has made taking home my new fur baby nothing short of a dream. Not only does she care deeply about where her pups are going but she went above and beyond to let my partner and I meet her before actually adopting. My partner and I personally feel like we got so incredibly lucky with our new pup Sequoia! Sequoia is such a smart, sweet, playful and impressive little girl. We are loving her more and more every day and can’t wait to see more of her personality. She fits in very nicely with our other 4 year old mini Aussie and with every challenging moment where I had questions or needed advice, Ally was only a text or phone call away from being there to help! Having a puppy is not easy but having access to her inclusive training courses has been extremely beneficial for training Sequoia. I will recommend her to anyone looking to adopt a Miniature American Shepherd every time, she is amazing!
