Sunset Hill Mini & Toy Aussies
The Ladies of Sunset Hill Aussies
Cherished. Intentional. Exceptional.
Meet the ladies at the heart of Sunset Hill. Each one lives right in our home, sharing everyday life with our big family, visiting grandkids, and plenty of different personalities and needs. Temperament matters deeply to us, and living together lets us know our girls beyond a pedigree or a pretty picture. We know how they play, settle, learn, and respond to the world around them—and we share their strengths and quirks honestly. Alongside registration and genetic testing, that firsthand understanding helps guide our breeding decisions and gives you a clearer picture of the mama behind your future puppy.

Nan is hands-down everyone’s best friend! She’s never met a stranger, charms every crowd, and is a total natural in the show ring—she wins without even trying.
​
Her temperament is perfect for personal therapy & Service Dogs. Her pups have gone on to serve many families of kids with special needs, veterans, and classroom therapy work. Paired with Tiny, she produces the sweetest, snuggliest puppies, usually in the toy-to-small mini range. Their pups are a bunch of mini-mes with lots of blue eyes in the merle pups.
Nan loves our window seat and runs like a rocket across the farm. She’s built for agility—pure muscle and so much joy! She LOVES water, our splash pad, the sprinkler, the hose...… and has also perfected the somewhat pathetic yet adorable “treat please” face.

Moxie is quickly becoming our therapy-dog producer. She has the sweetest disposition and is very intuitive to her humans. She has very "soft" features, which quickly make her likable and sweet.
She is our keeper girl from Tiny, and honestly, how could we resist her? She was stunning from day one. Tiny had several “romantic getaways” with Nix (Oakley’s mom), and every litter was gorgeous — so this time we finally kept one! That means Moxie and Oakley share the same momma, which explains why we’re so obsessed with those genetics. Though she is 16", she is "all leg" and is more of a lightweight. Making her a great all-around size and weight.
​
Moxie is incredibly sweet and hands down the fastest dog we’ve ever owned. Her long, lean body moves like a gazelle, and her long-distance recall is unbeatable. She never uses her speed to misbehave — she’s too loyal and obedient for that!

Maggie is our sweet, snuggly, crazy-obedient girl! Her genetics are so consistent that we get a whole pack of “mini-Maggies” with every litter. If you love that "classic Aussie" look, she is your gal! She’s earned her Canine Good Citizen (CGC/PHD) and has even competed in Level 1 scent work—smart girl!
She has a calm, laid-back “southern belle” vibe and likes to take life at her own pace. When paired with Ziggy, her puppies are incredibly smart, easy to train, and solidly built in the mini range (with the occasional large-toy surprise!). Together they have produced countless amazing family pets, two service dogs, and one classroom therapy dog.
Our daughter, Sarah, proudly trains and handles Maggie.

Ruby is our bubbly little redhead, and yes… I’m a total sucker for her! She’s the life of the party, silly, fun, and often the class clown around here.
She’s a large toy-sized red tri with stunning blue eyes and a solid little build, much like Star. Ruby is smart as a whip and not a huge fan of holding still—can’t blame her, she gets that from me! She happily tags along for any adventure, but especially loves sneaking raspberries out of our garden. (Again… same, girl. Same.) Since Ruby's dad is Ziggy (a well-built 15 1/2" mini), she has puppies that grow to be her size or bigger.
Ruby comes from generations of Canine Good Citizens, therapy dogs, frisbee champs, and more. Together with Tiny, they have produced amazing, bubbly, and affectionate family pets.

Kaiah is sweet as pie, and the first time she came here to breed, we knew she would fit right in with our crew. Kaiah does not live at SSH. She is a family pet in a nearby home. She and her daughter, "Gia", are both part of the breeding mommas here at SSH. Paired with Oakley, the pups are very confident, social, and love the adventure of family life. Lots of blue eyes expected in this bunch. Heterochromia (two different eye colors) is also possible.
​
The puppies are raised here at SSH and receive the same top-notch care and experience as all other pups.

Gia lives with her momma Kaiah and her awesome humans in a nearby pet home. She comes here for breeding, just like her mom. It wasn't a windy day when the apple fell from the tree! Gia is just as sweet as her momma, and very social. Just loves puppies, even everyone else's puppies! We just love her, and she has the ideal family-pet personality. Paired with Tiny, they will make a bunch of sweetie-pies. We anticipate a bunch of brown-eyed beauties from these two, maybe a few blue-eyed merles. Heterochromatic eyes (two different colored eyes) are possible, as Tiny carries that gene.
