Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Gilmore Aussie Posse of Florida Pure-bred Miniature Australian Shepherds located in Fort Myers, FL. We understand the responsibility of purposefully breeding in order to do better for the breed and the families that love them! Over the years we’ve learned valuable methods for socializing our puppies. Each litter has a clean and safe environment to learn and grow so they have the best chance of becoming amazing family members!

Jennifer’s experience

  • About Jennifer

    We are animal lovers and these Aussies have become our babies. All of our children are successful in their own lives so we started with one puppy and grew from there. We both believe these dogs are so different from any breed we’ve had and we’re excited to share them with you.

  • What makes Jennifer’s program special

    We start from the very beginning raising these dogs to be perfect pups. We only do 1 litter at a time in our home. They are never in pens/kennels & never outside. To me that makes a very special dog. They learn to respect a home & to understand boundaries w/o being caged. They are kept w/ parents and 2 other Aussies, so they learn a great deal by following the adults. We spoil them sweet🥰
