Mini Australian Shepherd/Border Collie Crosses
Puppies of 2024!
Atlas and Phoenix had 9 beautiful puppies on March 13, 2024. There are 4 males and 5 females. At 4 weeks, their eyes and ears are open, they're walking and starting to run and eager to start exploring their surroundings. They will be ready for their new homes at 8 weeks old, or the weekend of May 10. Follow us on Instagram for videos as they develop.

Mini Australian Shepherd/Border Collie
These puppies will make excellent active family dogs or loyal farm workers. They will be fairly small, likely around 35 pounds (but up to 50 pounds) and incredibly intelligent. The previous litter has some obedience stars, trick masters, and a few starting agility.
Mom and dad are our family dogs, and the puppies are being raised inside our home with constant attention. Before coming home they will be very well socialized with a variety of animals like cats, dogs, horses, chickens, and cows. They are raised with young children and a baby who play with them every day. They will be introduced to many different people, sounds, textures and toys in order to ensure they are very well rounded, capable and confident pets.
House breaking and crate training will have already begun before they go home, as well as their first vet check, vaccinations and deworming. From day 3-16 early neurology stimulation (ENS) was done on each puppy, as well as scent introductions to get their brain going at an early age. At 4 weeks, new objects and small structures are introduced to them several times a day so they can get used to new situations and play, play, play! At 6 weeks, obedience training will start, which new owners will have the option to continue with us if interested.
While we do everything we can to ensure our puppies are healthy and well-rounded, they are very active dogs. They will require a job to do and regular exercise to ensure they stay happy and out of trouble. If you have any questions about the breed or their requirements, please don't hesitate to ask.
Pheonix
Mom is a red tri-coloured, mini Australian Shepherd with bright blue eyes. She's very smart, active, keen and showing signs of being a great herding dog. She loves to snuggle and is the last dog up in the morning.
Atlas
Dad is a black and white, 35 pound, 3/4 Border Collie and 1/4 American Eskimo Dog cross. He takes his jobs very seriously, is very easy to train and incredibly active. He loves his frisbee and running as fast as he possibly can across the field.
