We have ASDR Registered Miniature and Toy australian shepherds. Our adults are health tested and have fantastic temperaments! I have a one year health guarantee. I do accept deposits on litters in the amount of $300 per puppy, and "Picks" are in order of arrival of deposit. DEPOSITS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE. All of my puppies come with tails docked, age-appropriate vaccine and record, and puppy food/sta

rter package. All puppies can be registered with ASDR.

I deworm puppies regularly starting at age 2 weeks. They are checked by a vet at age 7 weeks. My puppies are raised in the house and litterbox trained.

DEPOSIT:

(Surety of Action Deposit) in the amount of $300 of the purchase price is required to hold a puppy for the buyer until date of delivery. There are NO refunds on deposits, unless otherwise agreed in writing. Failure of the Buyer to complete this purchase would subject Seller to lost opportunities to sell the puppy to another Buyer and retention of the Deposit is meant to compensate Seller for his/her possible loss. This deposit signifies the intent on the part of the Buyer to follow through with the purchase of this puppy. The Seller reserves the right to void this transaction and refund the deposit if we learn of any reason why Buyer might not be suitable for the puppy (examples: Buyer is found to be charged or convicted of animal cruelty, is a violent person or offender, representative of a Pet Store, representative of a pharmaceutical research laboratory, to name a few) . If the transaction is voided or if through some tragic/ unavoidable accident the puppy were to die or otherwise be seriously injured before it goes to its new home, then the deposit will be returned to the Buyer; unless the Buyer wishes to apply the deposit to another puppy (if one is available) or to a puppy from the next available litter.

🐾 Being a breeder is not just pictures of cute puppies and pride in beautiful dogs.
It is also a whole ocean of rejections that are invisible to someone on the outside.

🕰️ Time? There is no such thing as "free"

You forget about weekends, trips, vacations. At least for a few hours.
You can't go to the movies with newborns lying in the crib.
You can't sleep peacefully at night if the pregnant bitch is worried.
You can't leave the incubator when one puppy is fighting for its life.
There is no "break" in breeding. Every minute counts.

💸 Money? You invest endlessly

💰 Good dogs are expensive - and very expensive.
💰Tests, genetic tests, exhibitions, travel, food, supplements, c-sections, medicines, vaccines,accessories - these are thousands of dollars 💵
💰 Income? Sometimes it just goes away. There isn't any. Sometimes you are left in debt and... with an empty bed.

💔 Emotions? You learn patience and pain

➡️ When a puppy dies in your arms, and you are powerless.
➡️ When a bitch does not give birth, despite your efforts.
➡️ When you have to refuse a person who "only wants one dog", because you see that it will not be a good home.
➡️ When you sacrifice everything - and in return you receive hatred, jealousy and slander.

👩 ⚕️No routine - you are a breeder, but also:

🩺 a nurse/neonatalogist
🍼 foster mother
📖 in genetics
📦 in logistics
📷 a photographer
🧹 a cleaning lady
🧠 a psychologist
💬 advisor to their clients, often for years

👨 👩 👧 👦 family and friends ?? Things can be difficult

- "We can't meet because the bitch is giving birth." ""
- "I won't come because the puppies have diarrhea and I need to guard them." ""
- "No, I won't leave them with anyone. "It's my responsibility."

Not everyone will understand. Not everyone will stay.

❤️ But through it all... it's love

Love for animals, for their lives, for the development of the breed.
Love that makes you get up 10 times a night.
Love that doesn't let you take shortcuts.
Love that makes babies grow up healthy and makes you happy despite being sick,or tired.

🐶 A breeder is not a "puppy person".

This is someone who gives up their OWN comfort for the benefit of animals.
This is someone who doesn't equate love with money.
This is someone who lives between joy and pain, and still wouldn't trade it for anything else.

❤️ Respect RESPONSIBLE breeders. Every day they give everything they can, although no one sees it❤️

Our Story

My love for the “little aussie” began with horseback riding! I am a lifelong trail rider and most recently, a barrel racer. I have always taken a dog with me on trail rides and for years it was a border collie. On a trail ride a few years ago I came across a woman with a mini aussie. He was so beautiful! He followed her everywhere and was very attached, and also very sociable. I researched the breed and found they were known for their sociable ways and the way they attach to their owner. I LOVED the smaller size with the “big dog” mentality. I bought Mirage as a 1 year old, taught her to follow my horse within a week, and we were off! She is my constant companion. She was my first one, and an addiction to the breed was born!!!

I have ASDR Registered Miniature and Toy australian shepherds. Our adults are health tested and have fantastic temperaments! I have merles and solids, some with blue eyes. :-)

Our puppies are "Born in my house, raised in my house, stay in my house!" Litterbox trained healthy pups! All puppies have regular deworming and first vaccination done.

Please contact me for questions or more information! I love talking about my dogs!
