Q. & A. with Melissa
Why did you start breeding?
I grew up with Australian Shepherds. My mother bred this breed of dog when I was a child and I enjoyed them so much so that I decided to breed them myself and give my children the same enjoyable experience I had as a kid.What makes your program special?
I have personally selected the best quality Mini Aussies I could find. I’ve gone across the country and back to find them. I only look for quality and healthy bloodlines. My Aussies have been selected for conformation, looks, and temperament and I have selected my breeding dogs to provide a well-bred and well-rounded puppy, in not only looks but disposition as well.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our 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 Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies are blue merle. Australian Shepherd puppies include black & white, red & white, red merle, blue merle, red, dilute red, dilute blue, and black tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

It couldn't have been a better experience. RMMA was very helpful, she answered all my questions and most importantly started my new puppy out with a healthy happy start. Best experience ever.

You can tell they really take care of their animals and really do all they can to make sure they are happy and healthy. Also she gave us a new puppy goodie bag and informational binder when we got her it was a very thoughtful touch. My puppy is 4 months old right now and very healthy.
