Meet the breeder
I'm the breeder behind Little Dipper mini Americans and toy Aussies located in Riverton, UT. We’re devoted to ensuring there are healthy puppies for others to enjoy and we do so by responsibly growing this incredible breed. When we got our first dog, we were instantly in love. Since then, we’ve made it our mission to bring happy, healthy puppies into the lives of other families!
Abbigale’s experience
About Abbigale
My name is Abbi. I’m an adventurous outdoorsy dog lover. I have worked with dog trainers and horse trainers for years. I live in Utah and enjoy spending times hiking and camping with my dogs and family.
What makes Abbigale’s program special
What makes us special is that we start training and setting these pups up for success from the moment they were born. We start potty training, crate training, and socializing from a young age! We also make the hard decision to keep tails which is unique in the Aussie breed. We have very few dogs in our program and they are all inside dogs so each one gets the spoiling and loving they deserve. All our money we make in our program goes back to the dogs and helping them compete in the sports they love.

More about Abbigale
Why Abbigale started breeding
I started breeding because after years of volunteering at a shelters and working as a dog trainer I realized the importance of where dogs come from. We need good dogs in this world that are health tested and breed for temperament. I know for a fact that if more breeders were responsible, less dogs would end up in the shelter. I also love my dogs so much that I wanted to keep their lines going, proving others with the same reliable pups.
