Miniature australian shepherd puppies for sale in ocala florida

White's Sharp Lil Aussies is located near the Gulf coast of central Florida. Our home is within a community of "mini farms". We have a small farm where we raise the Miniature and Standard Australian Shepherds. We also raise a few cows, have chickens and a horse. I started breeding the Miniature Australian Shepherds in 1999, striving to produce the look, temperament, intelligence, and athletic abilities of the Standard Australian Shepherd in a smaller size dog.

I started breeding the Standard Australian Shepherds in 2003. My Australian Shepherds are registered with either the American Stock Dog Registry (ASDR) or the American Kennel Club (AKC).

I believe that by keeping the dogs that I breed as healthy as possible, it will help to raise healthy puppies. My dogs are all vaccinated appropriately, they are on heartworm , flea and tick preventative, and are fed a premium diet. I do genetic testing to avoid health issues that are known to the breed. I have the hips, elbows, and eyes tested on my breeding stock. I raise my puppies indoors where they are under my careful eye and they get lots of attention. My kids are now grown but have blessed me with five grandchildren. The grandchildren live close enough that they are able to visit frequently and play with the puppies. Both the kids and the puppies have a ball with playing together.

I believe in maintaining the breed standard of the Australian Shepherd which includes having the tails docked (if not born with a natural bob) and the dew claws removed. This is done when the puppies are 3-4 days old. I keep the puppies on a strict deworming schedule starting when the puppies are two weeks old. When the puppies are eight weeks old, they go to the vet for a complete health exam, their first set of vaccines, their stools checked, dewormed, and they get a Florida State Health Certificate. I also start them on heartworm and flea prevention before leaving for their new homes.

I believe that the short and long term health of any animal will depend on what that animal eats. I found that Life's Abundance is among the best dog foods on the market and very competitive price. I became an independent field Representative for Life's Abundance to promote their products and share a great company with my customers. My puppies and adult dogs are all raised on the Life's Abundance All Stage Puppy/Dog food. It is a high quality dog food without some of the high allergen ingredients such as corn and wheat. I also supplement with NuVet Vitamins and have used these vitamins since I got my first dog in 1983. These vitamins provide benefits though out the life of my dogs.

Some come to City Slickers Ranch for horseback riding lessons, while others come to see the most wonderful dogs in the world! I have collected my champion bloodlines from all across the country and work tirelessly to breed for the "perfect toy size" with extreme Aussie type and intelligence. My larger minis are just as lovely. I do health clearances on my adults, and I am in frequent contact with some of the best breeders in the country as we work together for the common good of this magnificent breed sharing health data, pedigree information, etc. Together we have carried our fur kids into the show rings from Coast-to-Coast, taking "Best in Show" at nearly every stop when our dogs are shown against other breeds. This journey has been a 20-year-long one with this particular breed.

However, it originally began in 1976 with my passion for showing Greyhounds could be bred for family pets instead of just the racetrack. This led to many successful family stories that encouraged dog lovers to adopt Greyhounds from the track to give them a loving, family-style home.

I will be forever grateful to the show breeders who sold me my first pups, as my life was forever changed through those fur children.

The day one of my Veterinarians (who likewise spent weekends at dog shows showing her breed) said to me, "I can now say I have finally seen the perfect pet, a Toy Australian Shepherd" was the day I knew my dogs likewise would be changing the lives of many for years to come.

I am located in Northern Central Florida, and I welcome your visit. I have had visitors from all across the country and outside the country. My pups are blessing families in so many places in the world.

God bless you in your search for the "perfect pet," the Miniature American Shepherd (aka Miniature Australian Shepherds), and also the "Toy" size.
Incidentally, this breed has almost zero "doggy odor" and is a very light shedder.

I will be forever grateful to the show breeders who sold me my first pups, as my life was forever changed through those fur children.
