My Journey to Mini-Aussie Breeder
As a ranching family, dogs have always been a part of my life. However, my intrigue with the Australian Shepherd started when I was in grade school. I have a clear memory of gentleman who owned a sweet blue merle aussie that intrigued me. She was smart, beautiful and all of Los Alamos was in love with her.
Fast forward a few, well, actually many, years, and I found myself in a new place. My children were grown and out of the house; I had sold my business and suddenly I had time to explore my passion for this breed. For my first shepherd, I chose a mini. They have all of the same great personality traits in a smaller package than the breed standard, making them the perfect household pet.
In 2007 I adopted Macy, my sweet, smart blue merle mini aussie. She is my heart dog and all that I dreamed of for so many years. With a passion for this breed, I became a small, hobby breeder raising the occasional litter. Along this journey, my passion and love for the breed has grown even more by seeing the joy they bring my family and especially their ability to connect with my grandchildren.
Its been amazing to see the Miniature Australian Shepherd breed develop and eventually be recognized by the AKC as separate breed from the Standard Australian Shepherd. We are now officially known as Mini American Shepherds; though you will hear people casually refer to them as Mini Aussies.
