Meet the breeder

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!

What's included

Enrichment and socialization

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.

Puppy health practices

Our puppies will receive routine vet checks to ensure they are healthy.

Extras

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.
