I'm the breeder behind Cornerstone Mini Aussies located in Springfield, MO. We believe that quality genetics are important in your pet, but time spent investing in the early stages of a puppy's life can take them from good to GREAT! When you take your puppy home it will be in top health and will have already been introduced to many sights, sounds and daily snuggles!

Christie has been certified by Good Dog's screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you're ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies. You'll also have the chance to share a bit about yourself and what you're looking for in a new companion. Together, you'll choose the puppy that's right for you, stay in touch with regular updates, and plan how to bring your new puppy home.
Puppy prices range from $1,500 - $3,000 and include a non-refundable deposit of $500.
“The price varies by coat color and eye color. Once you have selected a puppy, we ask for a $500, non-refundable deposit. If you're interested in simply getting on a wait list, visit our website and fill out the Advanced Litter Deposit Form.”
Christie may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Christie offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don’t hesitate to reach out to Christie directly.
We give all we have to those first 8 weeks of a puppy's life! We introduce them to sounds, smells, chew toys, and non-stop affection! At 6 weeks they will begin early stages of potty training and crate training to make the transition to your home even easier! I utilize the following enrichment methods: Sound Stimulation, Texture Stimulation, Potty Training, Leash Walking, Crate Training, and Socialized with Children.
Our puppies will receive routine vet checks to ensure they are healthy.
Your puppy may come with extra benefits, like a small bag of food or a toy carrying the scent of their littermates. While Cornerstone Mini Aussies hasn’t shared specifics yet, we encourage you to reach out directly to learn what thoughtful extras they may include to help your puppy transition comfortably into their new home.
