Whiskeytown Aussies

MAS/Miniature Australian Shepherds are stunning, super-smart, and full of heart. Originally bred in the western U.S. (despite the misleading name!), these agile herding dogs quickly became ranch favorites thanks to their sharp minds and eager-to-please nature.

Today, they’ve traded cattle drives for couch cuddles—but don’t be fooled, they still crave purpose! Whether it’s herding, hiking, swimming, playing fetch, or learning new tricks, these clever pups are always game. They thrive on activity, connection, and challenges—and they’ll impress you with how fast they learn.

At Whiskeytown Aussies, our puppies are born and raised right inside our home, where they’re loved and nurtured every step of the way. We’re hands-on from day one, ensuring each pup thrives in a clean, safe, and stimulating environment.

Mama dogs lead the way in those crucial first weeks, and we’re always there to provide extra care as needed. Early socialization with littermates, people, and new experiences helps our pups grow into confident, friendly, well-adjusted companions.

We’re proud of every puppy we raise—and confident they’ll exceed your expectations in their forever homes!

All of our Whiskeytown Aussies are lovingly bred in Shingletown, California, with a deep focus on raising healthy, affectionate, and loyal companions. Our pups are raised with care from day one—and we’re confident they’ll bring as much joy to your life as they’ve brought to ours!

From birth to Gotcha Day, you’ll stay in the loop with weekly photo-filled pupdates and milestones.
