Aussie Facts:

Toy Australian Shepherds are not recognized by the AKC - yet. That's why it's important to register your new puppy with the ASDR (American Stock Dog registry).

 

 

Aussie Facts:

© Toy Aussie's measure under 14" 

© Mini Aussie's measure 14"-18"

© Standard Aussie's over 18" 
© Come in a variety of colors.
 
Toy Australian Shepherds must be under 14" in order to be considered a toy.  Most breeders have both Toy and Mini Aussies.  

Register your puppy for these reasons;

1. If you ever have to find a home for your dog, a registered dog is ALWAYS much easier.

2. Eventually the Toy Australian Shepherd may receive AKC recognition, be a part of that historic moment. Only registered dogs will be allowed recognition.

3. Proves your dog or puppy lineage without a doubt

The Guy That Started it all...

Chase.  Chase is everything an Aussie should be.  I got Chase from Aussie rescue www.aussierescue.org  as a pup.  His original owner passed away and left a pregnant mommy dog behind.  Chase was one of her puppies.  He was actually born in the rescue.  I feel fortunate that I was able to adopt Chase and have him be part of my life.  I can't imagine my life without him.  While I feel I have some wonderful puppies available I would encourage everyone to check out the dogs in rescue situations.  It is a misconception that most dogs in rescue have something "wrong" with them and that is why they are there.  Most dogs are from loving homes where the owners for some reason could no longer care for them.  While there are a few "challenging" dogs in rescue I can assure you that the people who run most rescue organizations work very hard to make sure that the dog you get matches your lifestyle perfectly.   Because we like to be part of the solution and not part of a growing problem we donate 5% from every puppy we sell back to rescue.  (Our way of saying thank you for Chase) and we will willingly take any puppy you got back from us and find it another home for you if for some reason you find yourself unable to take care of your dog any longer. 

Nose-To-Tail Health Guarantee:

  • Tails Docked when necessary.
  • First Shots Given, wormed at least two time with Nemex2.
  • Vet checked.

Note: If at any time you feel you are unable to continue to care for your puppy we are willing to take it back and try and find it a new home.  We will NOT be refunding your purchase price but we would rather help you find a new home for your dog than have it end up in a shelter or rescue.

What's my puppy eating?

Your puppy comes with a small supply of Tuffy’s puppy food to help them transition to whatever new food they will be on at their new home.  Just slowly introduce their new food to them by mixing less of their old food in every day.   You will get a small stuffed animal, which will “smell” like home to them.  This should help them adjust to their new home better. 

 There is a Mini-Aussie Rescue, here's their link

And of course we certainly love & support the Minnesota Animal Humane Society:

Humane Society of Minnesota

This is Thompson’s Bonsai.   13 inches of pure love and affection.  A black tri with a heart of gold and all boy.  Bonsai has never met a person, animal or mud puddle he didn’t love unconditionally.    Bonsai is the most laid back Aussie I have ever come across.  Don’t worry, Be happy is his mantra.  Nothing fazes him.  The only negative thing you can say about Bonsai is that he is impossible to discipline because he just wags his tail through the entire scolding.  Bonsai’s favorite activity is to dig a hole under the horse trailer and then lay in it.

This is BLN Chilita.  A stunning 12 inch tall red merle girl with shocking green eyes.  Chilita weighs 19 lbs and has great conformation.  Chili is the family singer.  If you are singing with the radio Chili joins right on in.  She is also a world champion kisser.  Chili has a very quiet disposition and will snuggle at your feet all day long just to be by you.  Surprisingly enough Chili also shows the strongest herding drive of all our dogs.  I’m not sure if she is really herding the horses or if they come up to the barn just to humor her.  Her agility ability is amazing.  Chili can hop 5 ft straight up and land on a 4 inch wide ledge.  (The exact height of our front window) Anyone have a cure for that?

 

This is BLN Bella.  A beautiful Blue merle female with deep chocolate brown eyes who is 12 inches tall and weighs almost  20 lbs.  Bella is definitely the head of the household.  ALL the toys belong to her and everyone eats after her.  She was the star of her obedience class but she is a world-class cuddler.  Bella just loves to be loved.  She is shy of strangers but warms up quickly if you bribe her with a treat or a belly rub.  Bella’s favorite activity is to go for a ride in the car.  


This is BLN Tinkerbelle. Tinkerbelle is our love bug.  she is very quiet but extremely loving.  Tink is pretty tiny at only 12 inches but she sure packs a lot of love into every bit of her. Tinkerbelle is out of Bella and Bonsai and we decided to keep her in the family to pass on her loving disposition and sweet nature to the next generation.  She and Brownie give you a great idea of what our pups look like all grown up!

 

BLN Brownie is our family kisser.  She is just as loving as Tinkerbelle but much more demanding of your attention.  An absolutely incredible mahogany colored red bi with amber eyes and 12 1/2 inches tall she is definitely a show stopper.  Brownie's favorite thing to do is give kisses!  Brownie is actually one of our smaller dogs but I know this picture makes her look gigantic!  Brownie is also out of Bonsai and Bella.

BLN Izzabella.  She is out of Brownie and Ozzie (check out Ozzie on his own webpage)  Izzy is only 8 inches tall and is absolutely spectacular.....Just ask her.  We are hoping she will be the next generation in our breeding program.  Izzy is a little spunky and quite the lover.  She knows she special and isn't very patient if it takes you time to figure it out.
