Breeder of Miniature Australian Shepherds

Haslet, TX

Meet the breeder

I'm Adina E., the breeder behind Silver Lining Aussies located in Haslet, TX. Welcome to Silver Lining Aussie. Located in Haslet, Texas, I am dedicated to raising healthy, happy, and well-socialized Mini Australian Shepherd puppies. My mission is to connect loving families with companions that bring lifelong joy. My journey with Australian Shepherds 14 years ago when I adopted my first Aussie, Jack. I fell in love with his loyal nature, temperment with my children, personality, coat texture & color and knew I wanted to preserve and share this wonderful breed. What started as a deep passion has grown into a focused, small-scale breeding program dedicated to preserving the best qualities of the breed. Health and temperament are my top priorities. Every parent dog in our program undergoes rigorous health screenings to ensure we are passing down the strongest genetics possible. My puppies are born & raised in my home experiencing everyday household sights and sounds from day one. I also take them on short car rides to help them get use to the feeling as aussies are prone to car sickness. We utilize early socialization practices which I call Fur Therapy. The community can book appointments to come cuddle & play with the puppies. This not only helps the puppies socialize but brings joy & emotional stability to our community. Our puppies are introduced to chickens, horses & goats as well. These stimulations give my puppies the ultimate head start in life. By the time they join your family, they are well on their way to being confident, happy, adaptable companions. Thank you for considering a Silver Lining puppy—I look forward to guiding you through this exciting journey!
