Meet the breeder

I'm Amanda E., the breeder behind The Beans Knees Farm located in Billings, MT. We love all of our animals and we take so much love and pride being able to share them. They have all been around children, dogs and a cat. We wish we could keep every single one of them but we are excited to see them grow and be raised!

Q. & A. with Amanda

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I had never given it a thought until I brought my first Aussie home. Neville changed it all for us. He is an amazing dog, and has been such a great addition to our family and so has Molly. We just wanted to spread the love they have given us. We cannot wait for them to be loved and give as much love as their parents has.❤️
  • What makes your program special?

    Our puppies have been bred with a great deal of consideration to temperaments. I have taken a lot of pride in knowing both Neville and Molly are well trained and very affectionate. We always get compliments on how well behaved they are. And hats off to them because they were born that way.
  • 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 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.
