Color Country Aussies excels at producing Miniature and Toy Australian Shepherds which possess the temperament, intellect, and drive of their larger Standard counterparts. We have a passion for what this breed exemplifies and constantly strive to magnify and maintain their most cherished qualities. Australian Shepherds are known for their great intellect, loyalty, compassion, and spirit. For the last 15 years, we have been breeding and working with Australian Shepherds to become the epitome of perfection. We have been showing our dogs for 10 years and have received recognition and great acclaim for their abilities and beauty. In fact, many of our faithful canines have been awarded with championship titles and other prestigious awards. Here at Color Country Aussies we specialize in herding/working dogs. We will be introducing your future puppy to ducks and/or goats to have them started for you.

Don't let our dogs’ distinctive pedigrees let you think they have strayed from their background as talented farm workers. In our rural area, we are surrounded by red cliffs and the heritage and traditions of the American Cowboy. At our small ranch in Southern Utah, our dogs have daily interactions with the many farm animals we raise. We own large dogs, cats, goats, calves, and horses which our lil' Aussies have spent their lives becoming acquainted with. My children are extremely active in rodeo and the training of our horses. My family values the importance of working as a team with the animal, treating your loyal partner with respect, and using hard work and patience to achieve your goals. Our dogs have been put in many typically uneasy situations, such as small children, loud noises, and various animal interactions, all of which they have passed with flying colors. Color Country Aussies are ready and eager for any situation, including loving every member of your family.

As a stay-at-home mother, I know the importance of raising my dogs around all different ages and situations to ensure the friendliest atmosphere in the home. My three darling children, including my 11-year-old daughter Taylor, are very involve in the developing of these dogs into wonderful companions. With Taylor's help, I have the great opportunity to spend all day with our little fur babies and raise them with and as my own children. Each puppy will be used to small animals as we use them all on the ranch to help us with the livestock. It is always fun to watch the momma dog teach her fur babies what her job is on our farm. Not only are these dog’s crucial to our farm life, they are crucial in our daily lives. I have spent many sleepless nights assisting each momma dog in birth and providing a safe and nurturing environment for her new puppies, and countless days teaching and training our dogs to be at the top of the breed in herding/working dogs with good sound temperaments. While our area is known for cold winters, we keep each puppy dry and warm with heaters and a protective indoor area for them to play. These dogs are given the utmost attention and care as we keep them physically safe and healthy. We have a wonderful vet who is an expert in the care and needs of the breed. He ensures each dog is in wonderful health and is given the best food and vitamins. It is through this personal relationship with our veterinarian that we know that our Miniature and Toy Aussies are receiving the best care available.

While this breed is amazing at companionship, they also excel in service, obedience, therapy, herding, outdoor recreation, conformation, tracking, and showing due to their incredible smarts. We constantly have puppies and adults which are being trained to succeed in agility, conformation, therapy, and especially in working dog skills. If you are looking for a dog that is easy to train, and sometimes too smart for its own good, look no further. As you consider the eyes of an Aussie it is easy to see the intelligence and understanding which this breed is famous for possessing.

At Color Country Aussies, we value friendliness, respect, and timely response to every potential buyer. Just like the breed we sell, we take pride in the service we can give to you. Because of this, we wish to go above and beyond by selling our puppies with current and age appropriate vaccinations, healthy and healed docking, and dew claw removal and a full health veterinarian check before going to their future home.

Keep shot records from your vet. Along with the vaccinations being kept up, we require that your puppy be fed Life’s Abundance dog food and give the supplements, and my health guarantee will be extended for two years. There cannot be any lapse at any time or my extended health guarantee is void. This will be from the time the puppy leaves Color Country Aussies.
  2. Our Health Guarantee does not include any parasite, internal or external, as this is a treatable condition. Only genetic disease or defects will be considered. Each case will be dealt with individually.
  3. Color Country Aussies does not guarantee size of our puppies. We will try and give you our best guess but sometimes puppies grow larger than we expect and sometimes they do not grow to what we expect. These are live animals and as with any live animal or person it is hard to know for sure.
  4. Hip dysplasia, should be found before the age of 12 months.
  5. Inherited eye defects will be covered until the age of 12 months.

Trial/Working Dogs/Puppies:
