I'm Sarah D., the breeder behind ST. J’s Mini Aussies located in Plainfield, IN. Hello! We offer home-raised ASDR Miniature Australian Shepherds. These puppies are raised inside with other pets and people. We are not a business or large kennel. We are a small family that loves the mom and dad and decided to give people the opportunity to love their offspring. Puppies are raised inside our home with our family with daily love and interaction. They are treated like family until they find their new homes.
Q. & A. with Sarah
Why did you start breeding?
We fell in love with the mother Artemis and decided to find her a friend. We then found Ajax to keep her company. We quickly fell in love with them so much that we wanted to share them with others.
What makes your program special?
Our puppies are raised inside by our family and their parents. They have daily interaction with humans, other pets, and older siblings from previous litter.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
