Meet the Family
Behind Stanleyville Farm
At Stanleyville Farm, we raise our dogs as part of the family. We have selected dogs from the best bloodlines, and they are health tested. But the thing that truly sets us apart is temperament.
The Stanleyville crew consists of ten children, ages 7-26, so the temperament of our dogs and puppies is of the highest importance to us.
Our Toy and Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies are born and raised indoors with hands-on stimulation and socialization from Day 1. This truly is the best breed in the world, and we love our dogs deeply.
When choosing a puppy from Stanleyville, you are not only adding a wonderful family member, but you also become a part of our family. We provide lifetime support for puppy families, and our goal is to make choosing a Stanleyville Aussie the best decision and most wonderful experience of your life.
**We also believe keeping a puppy the way they were born, so WE DO NOT DOCK TAILS OR FRONT DEW CLAWS. We are truly more than happy to provide research on why this is incredibly important to us and these dogs if you'd like to learn more regarding this topic.**
The Stanleyville Story
Ten years ago, shortly after moving to our farm, were gifted our first Mini Australian Shepherd. As he grew, we discovered that our "mini" wasn't quite a Mini, but instead, matured to be a Toy.
We fell head over heels for that little guy. We saw his incredible demeanor and personality, and we just had to have another! So, we began our search within our region. What we found with these "breeders", left us dumbfounded: deplorable conditions, unethical practices, and overall disgusting treatment of dogs and puppies of this breed that we had come to adore.
It was at that time that we decided we, ourselves, could raise this wonderful breed...but with ethics, morals, and compassion. We began putting in breed appropriate research, and expanded our search area to find our first breeding female. Over the years that followed, we sought out breeding stock that adhered to breed standards, asked questions, educated ourselves further, and began producing Toy & Miniature Australian Shepherds that we are proud to say came from our breeding program, through our hard work and dedication.
Ten years later, we are still going strong with our Aussies! Our reputation speaks for itself, with many families returning for a second, third, or even fourth! What a wonderful compliment! And one that we will never take for granted. We are proud to say that we have matched wonderful puppies with some of the most fantastic families all across the United States, and even Europe.
Why choose Stanleyville Farms? Because we breed with heart, and will always prioritize the happiness and well-being of our dogs and pups.
