They are exposed to various sounds (television, music, kitchen household noises, vacuum cleaner, and we play thunder and firework sounds so they are not afraid.
Q. & A. with Rachelle
Why did you start breeding?
Years ago I started working for a local big breeder and learned from the ground up. From how to keep clean kennels with safe products for puppy exposure, bedding, deworming protocals, vaccines, puppy checkups, learning about preventing Giardia and Coccidia etc. I got established with a local vet and asked more questions and learned much more.What makes your program special?
I am hands on 24 hours a day. I have raised my children and now I raise an occasional litter. I do not employ workers. My dogs and my pups are my pride and joy. I introduce sensory, sounds and socializing from the time pups are born. They are well taken care of, loved, and kept clean. I work from my home so the pups are never left alone. Each pup is loved and cuddled with daily.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies are miniature size. Cavapoo puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies include red & white, black & white, blue merle, black tri, red tri, and red merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?

We had a wonderful experience with this breeder from start to finish. She was incredibly accommodating and kind, even meeting me four hours away from her home at the Indianapolis airport, which I truly appreciated. Our puppy is absolutely beautiful, healthy, and has the sweetest, most social temperament — it’s clear she was raised with so much care and intention. At 8 months old, she continues to thrive and bring us so much joy. I would not hesitate for a second to purchase another puppy from one of her future litters and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a well-bred, well-loved puppy.

We recently brought home a beautiful ruby Cavalier King Charles Spaniel from Rachelle at Shelli’s Puppies, and we couldn’t be happier! Our little girl, Roxy, is absolutely perfect—precious, well-behaved, and already such a joy to our family. Rachelle was wonderful to work with, communicating clearly and making the process smooth and reassuring. It’s clear she truly loves and cares for her puppies. We are beyond pleased with our experience and highly recommend Rachelle and Shelli’s Puppies to anyone looking for a healthy, happy puppy!
