Puppy Culture
Our toy aussie puppies are raised with Puppy Culture
What is Puppy Culture? Puppy Culture is a step by step program that simplfies and teaches new breeders about the practices that have been around for a longa while. We use Puppy Culture protocol with our toy aussie puppies and litters of mini aussie puppies.
One of my favorite Judges has a website devoted to information on Early Neurological Stimulation. Carmen L Battaglia breeds German Shepherds and has been on the AKC Board for awhile.

About Us
Justa Little About Us
❤️ About Us
Hi there! I’m Tina Winston, and along with my husband Stephen, we live just outside of Owensboro, Kentucky on about 15 peaceful acres. Our journey into the world of Aussies began with our very first Miniature Australian Shepherd, Marlow. I never intended to become a breeder—but that changed quickly once I fell in love with everything about this incredible breed.
Aussies are like potato chips—you can’t stop at just one!
Our kennel name is a blend of Marlow and my last name, Winston, honoring the dog who started it all.
🧬 Health & Testing
We take the health and care of our Aussies very seriously. All of our breeding adults are tested for:
- PRA-PRCD
- MDR1
- HC (Hereditary Cataracts)
- DM (Degenerative Myelopathy)
- CEA-CH (Collie Eye Anomaly)
- NAD
- Perform preliminary patella checks
- Complete OFA testing on hips and elbows at 2 years of age
If you're interested in additional testing, we’re happy to discuss options with you.
🐾 Our Aussies
We raise:
- Miniature Australian Shepherds
- Toy Australian Shepherds
- Miniature American Shepherds (AKC-recognized)
Each of our dogs is first and foremost a beloved family member. I’m fortunate to be able to take them to work with me, so they’re well-socialized from a young age and exposed to a variety of sounds and experiences.
Our puppies come to you pre-spoiled, confident, and ready to take on the world!
What is a Toy Aussie?
Our Toy Aussies are registered with the American Stock Dog Registry (ASDR). A Toy Aussie is simply a smaller version of the Australian Shepherd, with the same intelligence, loyalty, and loving nature.
- Height: 10" to 14" at the shoulder
- Eligible to be shown in: ASDR, MTACK, IABCA, ICE, and ICKC
Whether you’re looking for a Toy or Miniature Aussie, these dogs are incredibly loyal and make wonderful companions.
📞 Let’s Connect
We occasionally have puppies available and would love to talk with you about them. If you have any questions about our dogs, our breeding program, or the breed in general, please don’t hesitate to email or call. We’re always happy to chat about our pups and their amazing personalities.
We adore this breed and are utterly smitten with each and every one of our dogs.
