| Picasso Miniature Australian Shepherds is located in Surprise, Arizona, outside of Phoenix. I'd like to give you a little background information concerning how I became involved with this delightful breed. I've always loved dogs, but met my first Australian Shepherd in 1988 when we moved to Phoenix. We had a senior adult neighbor, "Mr. Joe" who had a black tri Aussie as his constant companion. Gypsy was an amazing dog, not only in how smart she was, but I was impressed with her relationship with her owner. Then, a few years later, Elicia Calhoun and her awesome partner Suni became my favorite team in televised agility events. Eventually I got to meet Elicia and Suni, and they reinforced my growing desire to have a dog that I could have a "team mate" relationship with. |
| In 1998 I found out there was a smaller version of the Australian Shepherd, that a group of dedicated people had been developing. Fortunately for me, my first contact was with Linda Perry, of Patchwork Farms. She has worked for many years to help this new breed, known as Miniature Australian Shepherds, grow, while trying to protect it from the problems that develop when a breed becomes too popular for it's own good. I am proud to say that Linda has become my friend and mentor, and I appreciate the standards she has required me to adhere to in order to breed these wonderful little dogs. |
