Meet the breeder
I'm Andrea M., the breeder behind Rigas Mini Aussies LLC located in Covington, PA. We raise our puppies on a combination of several curriculums - Badass Breeder, Puppy Culture, Rule of 7s, and some of our own techniques. These programs focus on building the foundation for lifelong loyal companions. Our curriculum starts your dog on the right foot from the day they are born.

Why did you start breeding?
We’ve owned Australian Shepherds for the last 40 years, starting with Standard Aussies then more recently falling head over heals for the miniature Aussie.What makes your program special?
All of our dogs were handpicked and raised from puppies in our home (rather than in a kennel) and have all been full genetic panel tested.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Australian Shepherd puppies include red merle, blue merle, black tri-color, and red tri-color. Toy Australian Shepherd puppies include red & white, black & white, red, black, black tri, blue merle, red merle, and red tri. Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies include blue merle, black tri, red tri, red merle, and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Verified owner · Sept. 2025
What an amazing experience. Andrea was everything you could ask for in a breeder. Always available to answer questions, kept me updated on my pup, pickup was flawless. She was so kind and compassionate, I never worried about a thing. I would highly recommend Andrea for anyone looking for beautiful Mini Aussies!!
Katie F.
Verified owner · July 2023
I really enjoyed the experience of getting to know our breeder at Rigas Mini Aussies. Once we found this breeder, we contacted Andrea and asked her questions about how she raises puppies and questions about the parents and her precious dogs. My husband and I had a such a great phone call with her, and then we asked her to provide us with the contact info of a previous liter’s dog mom to call as a reference. Andrea happily gave us the name of a past liter’s buyer and we had a great call with that owner who also said the experience with Rigas Mini Aussies was a positive one. The communication once we decided to move forward and put a deposit down on one of Rigas current pups was wonderful. Since our pup was already born we got many updated photos and stories and the breeder began to call our new puppy by the name we chose. When the day finally came to drive to the breeder and take our puppy home everything went smoothly and we got a wonderful going home bag. Since coming home with our new puppy we continue to keep in touch with the breeder and send her updates and any questions I’ve had she’s been super helpful to answer. Rigas Mini Aussies has been really great and I recommend them to anyone looking for a great and personal experience with a breeder who really loves their puppies.
