Thanks for stopping in and viewing Spur Strap Miniature Australian Shepherds. The Mini Aussie is a smaller version of the Standard Australian Shepherd, standing 14-18 inches at the withers. Our dogs are selected for structure, genetic soundness, temperament, and type. They have been selected from superior bloodlines. Each mating is thoughtfully planned using only Dogs and Bitches that compliment each other. We have all dogs genetically tested before any matings occur to clear our progeny of genetic defects.

Our breeding program is still in it’s infancy, yet we strive to breed quality! Only a limited number of puppies are produced each year. Each mating is done with the expectation that  improvements to the breed will be made. The puppies we produce are of terrific quality. Our criteria for puppies of breed/show quality are very strict. Only a select few are kept to introduce into breeding programs. This allows companion owners who expect the best out of their beloved pet to get an awesome quality dog. In our minds there should be no difference in structure, genetic soundness, temperament, and type between a top show dog, an agility dog, a family companion, or a great 4H project! We are proud to have our dogs at our side and you will too!

All puppies are evaluated at 8 weeks of age and come to you with age appropriate shots, regular de-wormings, and a health guarantee. We commit to handle our puppies daily. We socialize them well so when they go home with you they are a well adjusted 8-10 week old puppy! Please don’t hesitate to contact us!

Check back often as we add our dogs to this site and update their winnings!
