Saussie Aussies

Meet the breeder

I'm Suzie T., the breeder behind Saussie Aussies located in Taylorsville, KY. We have been breeding Mini Aussies since 2016. Our dogs and puppies live and are raised in our home as members of our family.

Q. & A. with Suzie

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We bought our first Aussie in 2015, and we were hooked! Very intelligent and amiable dogs.
  • What makes your program special?

    We breed for temperament first and strive to improve the breed. We genetically test all our breeding dogs to ensure a healthy pet. We also test their eyes and x-ray their hips and have them certified by OFA.
  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Breeder-Reported Testing

Great level

Saussie 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.

    Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.

  • Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)

    Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.

  • PawPrint Genetic Panel (Breed Specific)

    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).
