Meet the breeder
I'm Katherine S., the breeder behind South Branch Mini Aussies located in Romney, WV. My dogs have brought me so much happiness that I decided to start my own responsible breeding program by producing quality pups and providing them a wonderful life with others. Our shepherds are fun, loving and loyal! They thrive in being active but love their snuggles, too!
Q. & A. with Katherine
Why did you start breeding?
I fell in love with the breed, began researching and brought my first aussie home in 2022. I discovered that not many people in my area offered the breed so I decided that I wanted to bring the aussie joy to families near me.What makes your program special?
My dogs and puppies are raised in my home - receiving daily snuggles and socialization from the day they are born. I keep in constant communicationWhat are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include blue merle, black tri, red tri, and red merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

+4We feel so lucky that we found Katherine from South Branch Mini Aussies. She is very knowledgeable about the breed, and also was very patient with all my questions! From the moment we saw Scout’s picture, we knew he was the puppy for us. She made the process so easy. She welcomed us into her home for our “meet and greet” and we even got to meet his Momma and Daddy. She was also kind enough to meet us in Warrenton, VA, which saved us a lot of time on “pick up” day. We are so happy with our new addition to the family! We highly recommend Katherine!!
