What makes our puppies different?

  • Puppy curriculum with daily intentional exposures (new textures, sounds, handling, etc.)

  • Problem-prevention protocols (resource guarding prevention, startle recovery)

  • Family raised in a real home with kids, not in kennels

Every puppy goes home with:

  • Full vet check + age-appropriate vaccinations

  • Microchip with dual registration (your info + our info as backup)

  • Puppy starter kit

  • Weekly owner emails with training + health guidance

  • Lifetime breeder support

Available Puppies

A happy Australian Shepherd dog with three newborn puppies nursing. The puppies are of various colors and patterns. The dog and puppies are inside a crate with a purple floor, and there is a seal graphic with the text 'TRAILSIDE MINI AUSSIES. Big Dog Energy, Perfectly Pocket-Sized' on the lower right corner.

Upcoming Litters

We expect our next litter to be born mid-March, 2026. These puppies would go home mid-May, 2026.

Because we are a small, intentional program, we only plan a few litters each year. Each pairing is carefully chosen with health, temperament, and structure in mind.

Upcoming pairings will be announced here, along with estimated due dates and waitlist availability. Joining the waitlist ensures priority when it comes time to match puppies with families.

Adoption Process

Finding the right home for each puppy is as important as raising them well. That’s why we have a structured, transparent process:

All families must complete a puppy application first. If approved, you’ll be invited to join the waitlist with a $500 deposit, which goes toward the total cost of your puppy. Waitlist order is based on when your deposit is received.

Puppy selections happen at 4 weeks of age. At that time, I will contact families in deposit order, provide photos, videos, and my professional recommendations, and help guide you toward the puppy that best fits your lifestyle and goals.

You always have the final choice — I simply provide expert guidance based on each puppy’s temperament and personality. Once you select your puppy, I move on to the next family on the list.

This process allows us to create the best possible matches between puppies and their future families.

Previous Litters

We also invite you to follow us on social media to see photos and videos from our previous litters and stay up to date with the most recent news, puppy updates, and behind-the-scenes looks at our program. It’s the best way to watch our puppies grow, see how they’re raised, and get a real feel for life at Trailside Mini Aussies.
