I'm Julky L., the breeder behind Rebel Soul Minis located in Damascus, OR. We are Rebel Soul Mini American Shepherds. Since 2007, we have been producing well-tempered best friends, top performers, show quality minis, and great farm help. Our puppies are evaluated by fellow dog trainers or animal behaviorists. Puppies are place based on temperament match, not color.
Q. & A. with Julky
Why did you start breeding?
When I was 10 years old, I interned at my vet's office in Brazil. I saw my first spay surgeries when I was that young. The vet's sister was a breeder and she helped me start. For the next 25+ years I focus much of my time learning about behavior, breeding, genetics and conformation.
What makes your program special?
I focus on temperament. The foundation of my program is my dog, Cherry, who happens to be my service dog. I study in depth the breeding lines I choose to use in my breeding program, going as far as 12 generations on the family tree. Puppies are always place base on their temperament and not looks.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Christina E.
Verified owner · Nov. 2025
Julky was so excellent to work with and responsive to all our questions. We consulted many times via FaceTime calls and email, and she was always quick to reply. Our puppy was a perfect match for our family. Her careful consideration of our home's layout and the level of activity we could provide for our new puppy, along with her commitment to the welfare of her animals, went a long way toward ensuring our puppy would blend right into our family from Day 1. It was such a pleasure to pick him up from the farm and to have met Mom and Dad. Arrow is the spitting image of his dad, and we couldn't be happier to have him in our lives. He is the perfect dog and brings miles of smiles to not just us as a family, but to friends alike. He is cuddly, loving, and playful, and has a fantastic temperament, which I attribute to Julky's breeding expertise. I would not hesitate to refer anyone interested and prepared to welcome a Mini Australian Shepherd into their lives to Rebel Soul Minis.

My experience with Julky from Rebel Soul Minis could not have been better. Julky’s passion and knowledge of the breed is impressive and her enthusiasm is infectious. Communicating with Julky about the adoption process was informative and put me immediately at ease. When I picked up my little guy, I was able to meet six generations of his family. All the dogs were well socialized and friendly. Again I could be happier!
