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.

Dodger now Blaze doing well in his new Home

Hi Leslie!  Just wanted to give you an update on Blaze and how wonderfully he has adjusted to our family.  My daughter carries him around everywhere, and my granddaughter is always giving him kisses.  He is so lovable and sweet.  We have not had any trouble with him at all.  The only 2 accidents he has had can probably really be blamed on the house being so busy with all the kids. You do such a great job getting the puppies ready to go home with families.  Thank you!

1 year Follow Up from Puppy Family

leslie:

wanted you to know how much of a great family member lacy has made for us.  she's gotten pretty brave but her quirky personality still dominates.  shes incredible with the kids.  they lay on her and love on her and i think she may actually enjoy it!  she roams at night and goes upstairs to check on them at least once a night.  she is the first thing they look for in the morning.  she gnaws on austin's head in the morning to get him up for school.

the non pet lover angela loves her as much as anyone.  she get her primped at the groomer at least once a month (lacy hates it).  she takes her for walks around the neighborhood.

as far as me, shes been great.  she sits at my feet while i work at my desk and loves when i include her in my chores around the house. shes very very intelligent and easy to teach.  she just wants to please me.

just wanted you to know she has been the perfect pet for us.

we still talk often about lucifer with our friends and still manage to get a chuckle when discussing her stories.

hope all is well.

Southern Star Buying Experience

Our experience with Southern Star Mini Aussies was a wonderful one and we will definitely be working with Leslie again. When looking for an addition to our family, Leslie knew exactly which pup would be perfect for us. Zoey, previously known as Poinsettia, was exactly what we were looking for. She has become our best friend and a member of our family! We loved the process of working with Leslie, Southern Star Mini Aussies. It was so nice to be able to go to her home and see that she treats all of the new pups as if they were her own. We knew that the first eight weeks of our puppy’s life were great ones. Zoey was well oriented with the way things were done in a home setting and this allowed for her to adapt very well in our home! We really enjoy the way Leslie does things when it comes to breeding. It is not a dog factory, it feels much more sentimental. Not only does it stop at the eight weeks of her taking care of them and getting them ready to come to their new homes, but she has continuously helped us in our transition into pet owners. Thank you Leslie for everything you have done and thank you for giving us the best pup we could ask for! Love, Teresita

New Outside Kennel


Finally completed some outdoor kennel/runs to use in case of an emergency or a place to let the dogs get fresh air when the weather is nice.  For the most part they still really enjoy their climate controlled area where they lounge in pure comfort...
