Cassandra’s experience

  • About Cassandra

    I am a dog mom. Definition: Obsessed with my Toy Aussies. It is seldom that I go anywhere without my best friend, The Steve McQueen, my first born. It is often joked in my household that I love my dogs more than my family...well...JK. The dopamine fix is my "why." Baby Toy Aussies give me purpose and a heart full of happiness.

  • What makes Cassandra’s program special

    I produce several unicorns [the coveted double blue eyed tris and double blue eyed merles].While I cannot guarantee exact size at maturity, my lines produce majority toy sized, under 14" at shoulder and no prick ears.
