Sunset Hill Mini & Toy Aussies
Meet the Ladies
All of our dogs are fully registered through AKC (Mini American Shepherds) & ASDR (Toy & Mini Australian Shepherds) and genetically tested to be super healthy. They are ALL our pets, stay with us, and live in our home.... YES, all of them are in our house! It's a little nutty but we love it. Thankfully, we have a HUGE fenced-in yard to burn energy!!! They are sweet, super playful, very loving, and love the outdoors. Every dog is well-loved, housebroken, and leash trained. Our family participates in 4H & the local dog club for weekly training and socialization within the community. They are all full panel cleared in Genetic Testing (see our Genetics tab on our site for full test information)
Take The Time
To train yourself in the little things, for this is the foundation of great things!

2x 1st in Class- Female Toy Aussies
CGC/ PHD Master Level 3
My "baby"! Ok, you shouldn't have favorites, but after going through an exceedingly long hard season in my life, Star was my "therapy", lap dog, and resident snuggler.
Star was awarded the Master Level for Canine Good Citizen and has the most wonderful temperament around!! She has produced multiple personal therapy & companion dogs.
Star is a TOY-sized Aussie from champion bloodlines from Fullerton Top Shelf Cognac & Rstars Earning Patches. Man, she is super sweet and is one of our most nurturing mommas! I swear she'd nurse any puppy that wanted a snack!!! Her genetics are strong and she produces a bunch of "mini-me" pups that are small toy-sized. She absolutely loves the outdoors and knows how to give the "cute" face to get treats.

"Pepper"
Got a Little Pep in My Step
Temperament is KEY with dogs, and Pepper was just born with it! Do I love a girl who owns the room or what? This girl was born to lead.
Pepper is 16" at the shoulder and a blue merle mini. She quickly picks up everything we teach her, and she makes us look like we know what we are doing! Extremely confident and loves adventure, Pepper is sure to produce amazing puppies ready to learn and perform on any task set before them.
She comes from generations of Canine Good Citizens, therapy dogs, frisbee champions, and more. Can't wait to see how she continues to grow.
