Q. & A. with Lacie
Why did you start breeding?
As a member of FFA, an organization for students interested in agriculture, our daughter decided to become a hobby breeder of Mini Australian Shepherds, hence, the start of Sunny Hill Mini Aussies in 2009. Her goal was to breed and raise quality dogs that will bring happiness to other families just like ours have for us.
What makes your program special?
We are very particular about what breeding stock we add to our program. All of the puppies are super socialized with other dogs, and members of our family including our 3 year old nephew! Our goal is to maintain the traditional Aussie look in all of our puppies, and our choices reflect that.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies include tiny and miniature sizes. 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.
