Q. & A. with Roman & Lisa
Why did you start breeding?
We fell in love w/ Toy Aussies after getting our first pup. We were struck by her love, playful energy & devotion. We carefully selected the perfect boy for our beloved girl. We soon discovered a passion for bringing new puppies into this world, training them & matching them with their forever families. Our love only grows with each litter.
What makes your program special?
We take pride in raising our Toy Australian Shepherd puppies in our home with early socialization. From birth, we expose them to people, dogs, and various environments to build confidence. We also introduce basic obedience, crate and potty training at a young age for well-behaved, easily trainable pups.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red, black, blue merle, and red merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Lisa from Loving Little Aussies is amazing!!! She made the process of getting my little Evie stress-free and simple. I flew in to pick up Evie, she recommended some great places to eat and met me at the airport. She provided tons of information to help prepare for Evie as well as kept in touch with me since I have picked her up. Evie was extremely healthy and happy when I picked her up. I would strongly recommend using Loving Little Aussies.
