Danielle’s experience

  • About Danielle

    I grew up in the livestock industry being a labor and delivery nurse for pigs. I always wanted a Mini Aussies and saw myself helping families gain their forever best friends. I absolutely love the toy and mini Aussies, because it is the greatest combination of a lap dog and a dog that isn’t afraid to get out and work. I am married to my Husband and we live in Midland, Texas.
