The mini/toy-sized breed ranges from 18 to 24 lbs., with this pup probably reaching around 18-22 lbs., which is great for your family, farm, or apartment — an ideal-sized best friend with full-size fun and personality.
When it comes to their love of play, Aussies are very trainable for fetch, catch, and more intriguing antics. They are superb with children — the more active, the better. But they have a gentle nature that prevents playtime from getting too rough. They are also eager to work: Give them a job, and they’ll be brilliant workers.
Miniature/Toy Australian Shepherds have excellent guarding instincts and a strong sense of loyalty to their families. They will let you know if anything suspicious happens around the house, but they are much quieter than other guardian dogs.
Our puppies have been raised on our family farm around other dogs, children, and cats. They are very socialized and well cared for. Any one of them will make an incredible addition to your family!
They can be registered with ASDR (American Stock Dog Registry), and your paperwork will be provided, along with Full Breeding rights!
They will be up to date on vaccinations and worming, have had a six-week vet check, and come with a health guarantee and vet paperwork/certificate.
The dewclaws have been removed, and the tails are appropriately docked for the breed.
The parents are a Blue Merle Mom (Mini) and a Black Tri Dad (Mini). Both are on-site with us.
A deposit is required to reserve a puppy. Free pickup can be arranged, or we can discuss delivery possibilities, but they are limited. We do not ship via airplane, but you may meet us at an area airport (Chattanooga or Nashville) for a fee that includes the Vet certificate to fly and any other expenses.
