Welcome to the blog for Southern Star Mini Aussies, now also known as Miniature American Shepherds, affectionally called "Wiggle Butts". This is a wonderful breed that is very intelligent, loyal and can be somewhat active and may be reserved with strangers. Many excel in performance events such as herding, agility, disc dog, flyball, dock diving, rally, conformation, and enjoy most being your best buddy. Mini Aussies range in size from 14"-18" top of shoulder and 20-40lbs. The smaller versions are referred to as Toy Aussies. These fur-kids are very much like potato chips and you can't have just one. If you would like to be owned by an Aussie, we would love to talk to you.

First Bit of Fresh Air

For Texas the weather was so nice this morning and the puppies at 3.5 weeks are so restless, I decided to carry them all outside for a short period and let them be on a new surface (grass).  This group is fearless !  They had no reservations about getting up on all 4's wondering around and even venturing into the rock bed now and then.  I am so impressed with them !!
They have had a big day in a puppy's life.

First Taste of Puppy Mush

After noticing several of the puppies lapping water from moms water bowl, thought it time to try some puppy mush (ground kibble w/goats milk)
The food was lowered and ALL puppies dived in for the feast.  After all the bellies were full they groomed on each other and then it was nap time.

Meeting New People

Puppies had visitors today... Haley who will be Daughtrys new mom brought her dad and friend to come meet the puppies.  Although they loved them all, they each had a favorite.  Nothing phased these pups as they fell asleep while being held.

1st day of Litter Box Training

Today is the first day of litter box
training.  They start out in a small
sleeping/play area with a larger
potty area.  As they grow and become
accustom to it, they are moved to 
a larger area for sleep and play.
