Purebred Miniature Australian Shepherds
Apple Tree Mini Aussies
Proudly breeding purebred Miniature Australian Shepherds since 2020, where both dogs and puppies thrive & grow on the farm alongside us.
About Us
We are located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains and surrounded by apple orchards in southwestern Virginia.
My love for Aussies began when I was a young girl. My family only had Aussies on our farm. I got my own pup, Phoebe, unexpectedly and she has been my best friend ever since. After having her for 2 years, we got Ruger, and then Luna shortly after. The three of them are thick as thieves now.
Although we raise miniatures, they still are a true herding dog, they only differ in size from standard Australian Shepherds.
As soon as puppies are old enough to be handled, I begin handling and socializing them with the world. They grow up around chickens, horses, and cows. They are dewormed at 2, 4, and 6 weeks of age. Additionally at 6 weeks of age, we go to our local vet and he gives them an all over exam and then administers them their first vaccinations.
Pups go to their new homes with a bag of puppy food to help them adjust, paperwork from the ASDR registry, and vaccination records.
