We imported one of the first Miniature Australian Shepherds to the UK in 2005 - "Dunnellons Dancin Rizzo".
Rizzo was bred by Shirley Wells in Florida, USA. Shirley did an amazing job of looking after Rizzo for the first 9 1/2 months of her life and loving her for us!
She came over to the UK in 2005 when she was 10 months old. She is a beautiful girl who has endless love to give. She enjoys agility, obedience & flyball and loves nothing more than having a cuddle! There is lots more information about Rizzo on her page of this website - "Rizzo" .
Rizzo competed and won placings in agility at Crufts 2008 & Crufts 2009- see the "latest news" page for these videos.
Our Affix "Dunnellon" has been granted by the MASCA and by The Kennel Club.
We are very proud to have bred the first litter of Miniature Australian Shepherds to be born in the UK. (Photo top of this page) The litter born 22nd January 2008 was from Dunnellons Dancin Rizzo X Multi CH Gottabe's Spot The Winner . Lots of cute puppy photos are on the website - enjoy! We kept two girls from the litter - our little black tri Chelsea and our Merley Girley Roxie!
You can catch up with how the other puppies are doing now by looking at the other UK Mini Aussies page.
We are grateful for all the advice and guidance from Lori McClelland of Gottabe Aussies in Nevada, USA. Lori bred and owns Multi CH Gottabe's Spot The Winner aka "Freckles!" (photo on left) who was the foundation stud starting our lines over here in the UK.
Miniature Australian Shepherds have become increasingly popular in the USA since the breed/variety was first developed in the 1960's. They have already been imported to Canada, France and Germany - winning many hearts & fans!
Miniature Australian Shepherds are the same as Australian Shepherds except for their size with Mini Aussies being smaller at only 14" - 18" tall. More information about the breed and its history can be found both on this website and on the sites listed on our links page. All our dogs are registered with the Miniature Australian Shepherd Club of America.
