Welcome to Casita Minis!
We are a small reputable hobby breeder of genetically health tested AKC Miniature American Shepherds (previously known as Mini Aussies) located in Southwest Washington. If you are looking for a dog that you can take hiking, paddle boarding, backpacking or a walk around the park and come home and lounge, a Casita puppy is for you! We have a strong focus on health, structure, and well balanced temperaments to ensure an all around high quality dog with low to medium drive and an off-switch.
In your search for a new family member please make sure you are buying from a reputable breeder. Make sure they offer a 2 year or more genetic health guarantee, health screen all of their breeding dogs for any genetic diseases -OFA Hips, OFA eye CERF, DM, HC, HUU, PRA/PRCD, MDR1- and have their dogs living in a clean environment. You may be paying a little more at first, but it will be less expensive in the long run as your new family member ages. Remember, a new puppy is a 10-15 year commitment.
The most important thing that a potential buyer can do is to find an experienced breeder that they feel they can trust. The breeder you select is probably more important than any other decision you make. A good breeder will not let you buy the wrong dog -- the key is not simply the good intentions of the breeder but also their level of experience. Expect the breeder/seller to quiz you about many of the points mentioned above. Do not take offense. The breeder/sellers are just doing their job to the best of their ability.
At Casita Minis we pride ourselves on being a genetically health tested program that also focuses on temperament, structure and heart. Whether you're looking for your next show prospect or adventure buddy, we will have exactly what you're looking for. If not, we can recommend many quality breeders for you.
Casita means "Little House" our Casita is full of love ❤️
