I'm the breeder behind Big Country Aussies located in Texas. We offer well-tempered, health-tested Miniature Australian Shepherds with foundations that nurture curiosity, drive, and obedience. Our dogs are excellent working dogs, and we are proud to continue their line. We breed both to provide families with loving and capable companions and to improve upon our dogs' fantastic traits with each generation.
