Welcome to Painted Blue Aussies in Utah, where we thoughtfully breed Miniature American Shepherds (often known as Mini Aussies) and AKC/ASCA Australian Shepherds for health, sound structure, and exceptional temperament. Our goal is to produce confident, loving dogs that thrive as companions, performance partners, and show prospects alike. Each puppy is raised with intentional socialization and early exposure before joining families across the United States and around the world.

Thoughtful Breeding, Naturally
Tails are a part of the story
─────────── 🐾 ───────────
At Painted Blue Aussies, many of our puppies keep their natural tails as part of our preservation-minded approach to the breed. We love the expression, movement, and personality a tail brings to the Australian Shepherd and Miniature American Shepherd, while also believing thoughtful breeding goes far beyond tails alone. Health testing, structure, temperament, and long-term soundness remain at the core of every decision we make.

Not Everyone Is Looking for a Puppy
Sometimes the right match isn’t a puppy.
We occasionally place trained, well-loved adult Australian Shepherds and Mini American Shepherds in carefully selected homes.
Our breeding dogs are the foundation of Painted Blue Aussies. Each sire and dam is carefully selected for temperament, intelligence, structure, and overall soundness.
Every dog is health tested through OFA and/or PennHIP, and genetic panels to support well-balanced, healthy puppies for generations to come.
