Here at East Coast Aussies, we don’t have anything to hide. For more than 40 years we have welcomed people to come visit, meet our dogs, play with the puppies, ask questions, and learn more about the breed for themselves.

Our Aussies are part of our family. Yes, we may have a few more dogs than the average household, but every one of them is known, loved and cared for as an individual. They’re our companions. They travel with us, spend time with us, and are very much a part of our everyday lives.



We raise Toy and Mini Australian Shepherds, and one of the things we love most about them is how adaptable they are. They can be just as happy running around a farm as they are living with a family in a smaller home. Aussies can make wonderful companions for children, older adults and homes with other animals.

And don’t underestimate the Toys.

People sometimes assume that because they’re small, they must be fragile. They aren’t. A good little Toy Aussie can spend the day keeping up with the bigger dogs and then curl up in your lap when the day is over. Before deciding they’re “too small,” come meet one. They might surprise you.

We are not puppy brokers. On occasion, we may help place puppies produced by one of our studs, because we still consider those puppies part of our extended East Coast Aussies family.

East Coast Aussies maintains the appropriate kennel breeding license in accordance with state requirements and is inspected annually. We take a great deal of pride in our breeding program, our dogs, and the family we’ve built around them.

Once you’ve loved an Aussie, it’s awfully hard to imagine life without one.
