Our Four-Legged FamilY
Zina is the foundation and heart of Stanford Mini Aussies. She’s our loyal, affectionate girl—known for being a bit of a Velcro dog, always close by and in tune with her people. Despite her deep bond with us, Zina remains incredibly balanced and even-tempered, which has made her a natural, nurturing mother.
Since joining our family, Zina has lovingly raised three litters, with a full year of rest and recovery between each one. We’ve always prioritized her health and happiness above all, ensuring that each step of her journey as a mom was handled with care, patience, and respect.
Now, with her final litter behind her, Zina is approaching a well-deserved retirement—and we’re so excited for her to enjoy this next chapter filled with cuddles, freedom, and well-earned rest. She has given so much to our family and the families of her puppies, and we are endlessly grateful for the loving legacy she leaves behind.
Zina ( Zizi-Bear)
Blue is our charming and spirited blue merle male—a loyal companion with a big personality and an even bigger heart. Smart, affectionate, and always full of energy, Blue has been a joyful presence in our home from the start. He’s incredibly sociable, gets along well with people and other animals, and thrives on outdoor adventures—whether it’s hiking, running, or chasing squirrels (his favorite pastime).
So far, Blue has only been paired with Zina—his one and only mate—producing four beautiful and healthy litters together. Both dogs come from different responsible breeders, and each pairing was planned thoughtfully, with plenty of time between litters to prioritize their well-being.
Looking ahead, Blue will be selectively bred for two more litters, each spaced responsibly and with carefully chosen, unrelated females. Our goal is to honor his outstanding temperament and lineage while remaining true to the ethical standards that guide Stanford Mini Aussies.
Blue isn’t just a sire—he’s a beloved member of our family, and his joyful, adventurous spirit continues to brighten our lives and those of his puppies.

Shadow is our beautiful black-tri toy Australian Shepherd with striking deep-blue eyes and a personality that is every bit as unforgettable as her name.
She may be the size of an almond, but don’t let that fool you! Shadow has energy to spare. She is a jumper like a tennis ball, an adventurous little climber, and an expert stalker—the . kind who will happily follow you everywhere, just like your shadow.
But beneath all that playful energy is a deeply affectionate and protective girl. Shadow loves being close to her people and has a natural instin ct to keep an eye on those she loves. She is curious, intelligent, spirited, and incredibly loving.
Shadow is truly a little dog with a big personality and an even bigger heart.
