Q. & A. with Michael & Leigh

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I had an Australian Shepherd for 16 years and she was my soul mate. I always knew I wanted another one day. On my 40th birthday, my husband purchased a red tri mini female for me. We fell in love and bought a male. We never intended to be breeders but we jumped in headfirst. I have spent countless hours studying pedigrees, genetic testing, confirmation, and temperament.
  • What makes your program special?

    All of our parents are health tested and temperament tested and only those that pass our stringent tests will be used for our program. All puppies are raised on puppy curriculum and temperament tested at 7 weeks to ensure that the perfect match has been made. We feel that every puppy and family should be a good fit.
  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies include blue merle, red merle, red, and black. Toy Australian Shepherd puppies include red, black, blue merle, and red merle. Australian Shepherd puppies include black, red merle, blue merle, and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Michael and Leigh were very responsive and helpful throughout the whole process. I can really tell how much they love their dogs, and how much effort they put into training them. We got a puppy from them for my daughter’s 16th birthday, and from the moment we got him home he has been an angel. He was very well potty trained and took to a leash almost immediately. Overall I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a mini Aussie.

    Leigh was helpful from the get go. My fiance and I were looking for an addition to our home and stumbled upon Good Dog on safari after being disappointed several times over price and distance. Although I cannot put a price on our puppy, Milo, I can definitely say it was reasonable and worth it. On top of that, she kept us updated throughout the very suspenseful weeks leading up to getting Milo. Although we were lucky enough to live only two hours out, we definitely appreciated and took it as a green flag to have several options in case that plan failed. Leigh provided us with a very thorough and detailed book that made the first couple of day a lot easier. We followed it and were able to not only establish a routine but also get Milo crate trained in two days and he’s learned several commands such as “sit,” “shake,” and “let go” when playing fetch. She also provided us with food he was currently on in order to smoothly transition him to a kibble of our choice. Milo was definitely timid on our ride home but Leigh was a text away the entire time and made us feel a lot better when he was behaving shyly. Milo has now been home for over a month and is loved by everyone in our family. He has made a great companion for our nieces and nephews and loves chasing them around the house an in our yard. He’s even established a new nickname of “myo” by our one year old niece who’s learning how to talk and he actually responds to it! Overall, Milo, Michael, and Leigh have improved our life greatly. We hope that the day we choose to add another addition to our family, we can come back to where it started!

    After losing my Aussie named Buddy after 14 years, I thought it would be a very long time before I could move on. However, after careful consideration, I decided to reach out to Triple Lake Ranch after viewing their available Miniature Australian Shepherds. I spoke to Leigh and she is amazing and very knowledgeable and made it such a pleasant and joyful experience. We discussed my situation, and she matched me with a puppy. I'm so thankful for Leigh and Michael at Triple Lake Ranch. They are truly amazing!!! If in the future I need to do business, it will definitely be with Michael and Leigh with Triple Lake Ranch! This has been a wonderful experience, thank you both!

    We adopted Savannah from Leigh at Triple Lake Ranch and it has been a wonderful first month. She is happy and healthy and it is obvious she had received wonderful care and attention before we got her. Leigh evaluated our lifestyle and wants for a dog and agreed that Savannah would be a great fit - she was right! Utilize her expertise and knowledge and you won’t go wrong!

    I had been searching for a Mini Australian Shepherd for about 5–6 months, constantly checking listings, but often found that many breeders were unresponsive or more focused on making a quick sale than answering important questions. After months of searching, I finally found Leigh, and I’m so glad I did. From the very beginning, Leigh was kind, responsive, and patient. She took the time to answer all of my questions and even set up a phone call to discuss the breed, their traits, and the key responsibilities that come with owning a Mini Australian Shepherd. Her passion for raising her pups is clear, and it truly sets her apart. Leigh goes above and beyond by conducting health testing, exposing the puppies to different environments and experiences, and even creating detailed personality reports for each pup to help match them with the right family. This level of care made me feel confident that I was choosing the right breeder. On September 4th, I brought home my puppy, Bullet. Naturally, he was a little nervous at first, but he quickly adapted and recognized me as his owner. Thanks to Leigh’s efforts, Bullet already had a strong foundation he was familiar with crate training, potty training, and even knew basic commands like “sit.” This made training him on new commands much easier, and he continues to impress me with how smart and quick to learn he is. Overall, Leigh is a Top Class breeder who pours her heart and dedication into raising well prepared, happy, and healthy puppies. The entire process was smooth and stress free, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. I highly recommend Leigh to anyone looking for a Mini Australian Shepherd. ⭐️

    Leigh is an amazing breeder! I had the most positive experience with this ranch. Leigh answered all my questions in a timely manner and sent me updates throughout the whole process. She cares deeply about her puppies and puts a lot of effort in raising them. She helped me find a dog that fit my desires, lifestyle, and personality and now I have the sweetest dog! Leigh also was very helpful when I picked up the dog from the airport which made the process a lot smoother. Would highly recommend getting a dog from this breeder!
