I'm Mandy A., the breeder behind Swanky Aussies located in Ypsilanti, MI. Raised in our home and exposed to our children, they will be accustomed to being held and interacted with. We focus breeding to meet the Aussie conformational standards. At Swanky Aussies we strive to produce healthy and affectionate puppies.
Q. & A. with Mandy
Why did you start breeding?
We wanted our children to experience the process of our dog becoming pregnant and having babies. Our children love our dogs and already want to love on the puppies.
What makes your program special?
I am a SAHM that is able to care for both mom & puppies at any time. We are focused on their health and overall well being. I am able to provide clean, warm and comfortable space for the puppies to thrive and grow. Once they are active, I am able to play with them and provide a stimulating environment for them to explore. Before leaving our home we will provide some basic training to the puppies.
What 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 are blue merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Parent health testing
Breeder-Reported Testing
Good level
Swanky Aussies reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Miniature Australian Shepherds.
DNA Disease Panel
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
