About Us – Family Raised Mini Aussie Program
We are a small family raised mini aussie program based in our home. Since 2009 we’ve focused on raising healthy, well-socialized Mini and Toy Australian Shepherds that fit into real family life. Our goal has never been to produce the highest number of puppies. Instead, we concentrate on quality, health, and temperament so that every dog we place has the best chance of becoming a happy, well-adjusted companion.
Our Story
What started as a simple love for the breed slowly grew into a carefully managed home breeding program. We live with every sire and dam as part of our family. Our family raised mini aussie puppies grow up underfoot — not in kennels — so they experience the everyday sounds of a household, being handled by children, and learning basic manners from a young age.
Over the years we have learned that the strongest Mini and Toy Australian Shepherds come from thoughtful breeding decisions, consistent early socialization, and honest communication with the families who welcome them.
Daily Life With Our Dogs
A typical day in our home includes morning play sessions, short training, supervised outdoor time, and plenty of quiet rest. Puppies are exposed to normal household activity in a calm, positive way. We start crate training and potty training early so the transition to a new home is smoother.
We also begin gentle handling exercises early so the puppies become comfortable with grooming and veterinary care. These small daily interactions make a big difference in how confident and adaptable our family raised mini aussie puppies become.
What Makes Our Family Raised Mini Aussie Puppies Different
- Health first – Every parent is OFA or PennHIP tested for hips and elbows, eye certified, and fully DNA panel tested. We share the actual results with every buyer.
- Truly home-raised – Puppies grow up with daily handling, children, household noise, and early training.
- Strong guarantees – We offer a 2-year congenital and genetic health guarantee, 10-day viral coverage, and a lifetime take-back promise. Full details are on our Health Guarantee page.
- Personal support for life – We stay in contact long after your puppy goes home. Many families text or call us during the first weeks and months.
- Honest placement – We carefully match puppies to the right homes and will turn down a sale if we don’t feel it’s the best fit.
Our Commitment to You
When you bring home one of our puppies, you’re joining a small community of families who share our love for the breed. Every puppy leaves with ASDR registration, a complete puppy pack, health records, and ongoing guidance from us.
We believe that responsible breeding includes support after the sale. Whether you need advice on crate training, help choosing the right food, or simply want to share a photo of your growing Aussie, we are here. You can also browse our Puppy Guides for practical tips on training, exercise, grooming, and more.
Whether you’re looking for an active hiking partner, a loyal family companion, or a smart little shadow that thrives on training, we work hard to produce dogs that do well in real homes.
Thank you for considering our family raised mini aussie program. We look forward to helping you find the right companion and supporting you for years to come.
We take real pride in the dogs we raise and the families we work with. Every decision — from choosing which dogs to breed to how we raise the puppies day to day — is made with the long-term well-being of the dog in mind. That steady, careful approach is what has guided our family raised mini aussie program from the beginning.
