I'm Mackenzie P., the breeder behind Twisted Acres Kennels located in Lake City, MN. Because my program is small, I am able to give each dog and puppy all of the attention and care that they need to develop and thrive. My dogs are my family, and I give that same love to each puppy as I prepare them to join their forever homes. I always do my best to find the perfect match for my puppies and buyers because I want each placement to be lifelong and for each pup to thrive in their role. It is my goal to find loving homes for my puppies and provide families and individuals with the Miniature Aussie of their dreams!
