Miller’s Legacy Australian Shepherds

Happy Fourth Birthday to our first litter!

Archer, Aries, Kashi, Rain, Pinky Purple and Lucy!

Archer is the dad of our second and third litters, he’s wearing the aqua colored collar. 😊

Sienna hoping her dad won’t forget to give her an ice cube. Her new favorite! 💜

Just handed off our last little one. We’re sure going to miss him - Sienna especially. They may even keep his name… Blue! He was super happy to meet his family and he’ll be a very spoiled boy. 💙

Puppies from this litter are now living in six states, so crazy to me!

Big sports guy, like I said. 💙

Dark Blue is such a sweet guy, he loves playing with all of the other dogs, snuggling on the couch and is obsessed with toys. He’s a quick learner and is so easily redirected if he gets into something he shouldn’t, keep telling him to teach Sienna how to listen! 😂

Can’t believe he is still looking for his home. He is 12 weeks old and READY! We go for his third round of shots soon, comes with his limited AKC registration and a bag of goodies to help him settle into his new home.

We are in Oneida, TN, but can travel a few hours to meet his new family!

Little guy’s a couch potato today! 💙

01/19/2025

Sweet not-so-little Dark Blue is available and ready for his new home!

We are integrating him with our pack to continue with his socialization and training. He does great with all other dogs and is moderate energy level. He can easily be encouraged to be more energetic, but seems to read the room pretty well. Big football fan, too!

He’d be a good candidate for agility or obedience training as he loves to learn!

He is located in Oneida, TN, but I am happy to discuss meeting within 2.5-3 hours from home as well.

Throw back to 11 weeks ago! Hard to believe what giants they are, comparatively!

Just a few reminders, if one of these little potatoes is yours.

They’re due for their dewormer pill today, it was in their blue folder!

If you haven’t yet sent info for their AKC registrations, please send them over when you can. As a reminder, their registered name will start with Miller’s Legacy and can be followed by as much or little of a “full name” as you’d like. Examples, their mama is Blue Ridge Oakley of Miller’s Legacy, dad is Miller’s Legacy Arrow Through My Heart and their red Merle sister is Miller’s Legacy Sienna Louise. You can be as basic or creative as you’d like!

I also need -
Owners name
Address
Email
Phone

If you’re thinking “but you have that!” please resend to help me make it easy on me. 😊 I have over 2000 emails/messages/texts from this litter thus far, and don’t have time to dig. You’ll get email confirmation once I process the registration and a hard copy in the mail in a couple weeks. I’ve prepaid for this, so it doesn’t cost you a cent.

These puppies are smart, intuitive souls.

Here is Sienna using her eldest sister as a pillow. Ruby is our 12 year old Maltipoo with Canine Cognitive Dysfunction, aka doggy Alzheimer’s.

Baby Ru (her nickname from way back!) developed CCD a couple years back, and has issues with remembering semi-basic functions. Some days we have to remind her what eating entails, as an example. She is doing great, isn’t suffering or in pain. Just a little confused. Ironically, just over a year ago we had a tiny dog dumped on our property and little Juniper has helped Ruby more than anything!

Sienna is kind, understanding and compassionate to Ruby. If she were nervous or avoidant I would not fault her as Ruby’s behavior can be a bit erratic. Sometimes she startles me! Tonight, they both had high value treats to chew on while we ate dinner. Ruby wanted what Sienna had, Sienna willingly gave it to Ruby, took Ru’s chew and went on with her day. Many dogs (puppies especially!) would have acted out to protect their possession, it never entered Sienna’s mind.

This isn’t something I can train, it’s just who they are. 💜

And just like that, we have ONE pup still seeking his new home. Our sweet Dark Blue!

He is almost 11 weeks old, has had two rounds of vaccines, working on house breaking, basic obedience and being a sweet, sweet boy. He even comes dressed for formal events, he practically has a built in tuxedo!

Local TN or KY meetups (towards Knoxville, Nashville or Chattanooga, TN or north into KY) are possible!

Message me for info! (He’s the guy on the right looking like he saw a ghost. He hadn’t seen me since Thursday night!)

These pictures from 2021 of Miller taking one of his infamous Snow Naps. It was a very rare Texas storm that devastated the area. During the time this was taken, Archer (the pup’s dad) was literally being born! Nerve wracking as I wasn’t sure we would have power to keep babies warm enough, I had to come up with some weird contingency plans just in case! Everything was just fine and grandpa Miller still LOVES to be frozen.

We still have two pups (scroll back a couple posts for photos of Dark Blue and Gray! Contact me for their profiles explaining activity levels, etc.) and are almost guaranteed to be changing travel plans due to a big impending snow storm here.

Pups can be brought just past Orlando Friday night if their new homes happen to be that way. And if you’re like hey... Orlando Friday night? This storm was maybe a miracle and I’ll see you cuties Saturday. 😘

Good morning!

I feel as if I am consistently a couple days behind with my to do list. I’ll be reaching out to everyone today to confirm puppy travel plans if I haven’t already.

We still have our sweet pups Dark Blue (black tri male) and Gray (black tri female) looking for their homes. Please reach out to learn more about them! They can hop along on any trip this week to meet their new families, or if you are in a different area, let me know and we can chat about options.

Wednesday the 8th, I have pups headed to Cookeville, TN in the early afternoon.

Thursday the 9th, I have a pup headed to Hot Springs, NC in the early afternoon.

Saturday the 11th, I am headed to Valdosta, GA and can meet almost anywhere along that route. Guessing my arrival time to Valdosta to be around 3pm give or take, as we still await the storm set to hit our area to firm up its plans. Cross your fingers it’s less intense than it’s looking.

These are pictures of Sienna, formerly known as Purple, in her new home. She settled in instantly, almost as if she had been born there. 😉 Loves her dog family, her humans and all of the other critters she meets daily. Still not sold on being followed by chickens, however. 😂

Happy New Year!

The pups are NINE weeks old today. How?!

To celebrate, they dumped 2.5 gallons of water, tipped over their food into and made a… mush slip and slide. My fitness tracker recorded a three hour (fairly intense!) workout. Except it was just cleaning that mess and bathing everyone. Definitely a workout!

I lectured them, let’s hope we don’t have a repeat performance!

Didn’t get pictures of everyone because I was soaked and trying to hurry, while keeping my kitchen from being saturated from everyone shaking to help dry themselves. 😂

12/29/2024

We have two pups still looking for their families!

Dark Blue, black tri color male (pictured with a paw up in the grass)
Gray, black trim color female (pictured behind the chain link with her favorite brother!)

Both will be "ready to fly" after January 8th. Reach out via private message if you'd like info on either pup!

I have three trips scheduled to meet new families, and they're welcome to ride along if you're in those areas

January 8th - Cookeville, TN
January 9th - Hot Springs, NC
January 11th - Valdosta, GA (can stop in/near Chattanooga, Atlanta, etc. on the way as well!)

12/25/2024

Finally had my phone when we were out to play.

We hope everyone has had a Merry Christmas! These pups put me through it today, let’s hope they take it a little easier on me tomorrow. 😉

Are they pictures? Yes.

Are they good? Heck no.

These guys are BUSY and there’s no such thing as a real clear photo anymore. Unless we count the “prison pictures” of course.

Pups will be 8 weeks on Christmas Day! They’re learning to sit, trying their best to start understanding the stay/wait command and we have maybe 1-2 accidents a day. We are pretty impressed with their progress and dispositions. Every puppy is sweet, affectionate and outgoing. They’re all learning so quickly. This next week we will have more emphasis on going potty outside and start spending some time crated to get more acclimated to that.

Dark Blue and Gray are still searching for their homes! Reach out through private message if you’re interested in learning more about them. We will have transport available part way to Nashville, TN, east towards NC and they can hop on for the route going to Valdosta, GA as well!

12/18/2024

Their entire area was cleaned mere hours ago. Litter dust everywhere? Yes. Any accidents? NO!

Can we get any clear photos that don’t qualify as “prison” shots? Also no. 😉

Tried earlier and it would have been an interesting game of “who owns that ear?” “Is that my pups tail?” “Cute back left leg!” at best.

Ten vs. one (or two!) is still just not fair. 😂

12/15/2024

Time to officially introduce eight of our ten pups! We still have two still looking for their families, I'll share about them below! We definitely woke them to take these and they were fairly sure we should have fed them for their inconvenience, a few aren’t real thrilled with me as you can see. 🤣

Without further ado…

Light Blue is now Koopa

Red is now Maverick

Orange is now Percival (Percy)

Light Pink is now Kira

Bright Pink is now Nesta

Purple is now Sienna

Yellow is now Davis

Lime is now Boone

Still looking for their families - Dark Blue (black tri male) and Gray (black tri female)

Dark Blue is going to be on the larger side. He has four white "socks" and a solid tail. His energy level varies between moderate and “lower” high energy. He is adaptable and loves to play with his siblings! Would thrive with another playful dog in the home, but would also do great as an only pup with enough activity to keep him busy.

Gray is our smallest, expected to stay closer to 40-45lbs. She loves to explore, isn't phased by anything! Outgoing, but not overly in-your-face. Energy level is moderate, she loves to play with her siblings and would do great in a multi dog home. She would also be fine as an “only kid” with enough activity with her human(s) to keep her busy. She seems to be a fast learner and her (VERY) early impulse control seems to be there. I could see Gray being a great therapy dog prospect, she loves people and her cute social nature might be a perfect fit for folks whose benefit from her visits!
