Swanky Aussies

Mandy A.

Breeder of Miniature Australian Shepherds

Meet the breeder

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.
