    We take great lengths in assuring our dogs are healthy and well taken care of. Our litters are born inside in a climate controlled area and remain indoors where they are well socialized until they leave with their new family.

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

    I had a great experience working with Phyllis! She was very communicative throughout the entire process, kept me updated with pictures as Cas grew, and was always willing to answer my questions. From our first video call through pickup day, I felt completely comfortable working with her. It was very clear that the puppies were well cared for, loved, and socialized before going to their new homes. Cas has been such a sweet, curious little puppy and has adjusted so well. I would absolutely recommend Phyllis to anyone looking for a Mini Aussie!

    Yall have made me very happy with my special girl "Buttercup". She is a bundle of joy!! She is full of energy as expected! We bought all kinds of toys but her favs are a paper coffee cup and an empty water bottle! Just like a toddler. Buy a great gift and they like the box best. Working with you and meeting me part of the way was excellent. My care package really helped us settle her into her new home. BTW she is completely house broken now thanks to your early training. Thank you for our little girl!

    As my first time experiencing adopting a puppy, I couldn’t have asked for a better breeder. Phyllis treats the puppies as family and went above and beyond throughout the entire process. Especially with sharing photos and updates of my sweet boy Goose, the entire time. It meant so much to be able to watch him grow and see his little personality develop before bringing him to his forever home! From the beginning, Phyllis made me feel confident, comfortable, and so excited for this new chapter. I am beyond grateful that Goose was raised with so much love. And could not have asked for a better experience. Thank you Phyllis, for giving me my best friend.
