WELCOME TO
CUDDLE BUG MINI AUSSIES

Welcome to Cuddle Bug Mini Aussies!   Located in Phoenix, Arizona where we have begun
our journey in showing and raising miniature Australian Shepherds.  Please take a look
around our website and get to know us and the Australian Shepherds that inspired the
name, "Cuddle Bug"!

Our dogs are a part of our family and we believe that any dog should live with a committed
owner as a life long companion.  We enter into a contract with the purchasers of our
puppies that we will take back a dog whatever age if for any reason the buyer is unable to
look after them.  We strive to keep in touch to see how our puppies develop to ensure the
families are managing well and to answer any questions.  We will be delighted to assist
throughout the life of their dog.

We plan our litters on a limited basis.  Our stud dog(s) will only be bred to quality females
that have been OFA'd, CERF'd and that have passed all health tests.  If we are unable to
provide you with a puppy we will be glad to refer you to other quality breeders.

Our puppies come from quality studs and bitches to ensure correct type, temperament
and sound structure.  Our breeding dogs will be OFA'd, CERF'D and have there MDR1 test.
 All of our puppies will be tested by a qualified Ophthalmologist between the age of 6 to 8
weeks.  The mother will be health checked prior to breeding.  She will be followed closely
during her pregnancy and her puppies will be whelped in her home.  Each puppy will be
temperament tested and socialized, healthy and eager for their new family.   Companion
puppies will be sold under a spay/neuter contract only.  We reserve the right to place our
puppies into suitable homes.
