Miniature American Shepherds
Miniature Australian Shepherds

“Nicole is my breeder of choice since 2014, and our family is now on our third Spur Strap Mini. Nicole is always available with patience and expertise, and her passion and love shine through in every mini Aussie pup. Our Spur Strap gets ooo’s, aaah’s, smiles, and ‘beautiful dog’ comments every single day!”

“We found Nicole 9 years ago and brought home our first pup, Otis. She truly cares about matching each puppy to the right family, and her guidance gave us the perfect fit. When our daughter was ready for her own dog, we went straight back to Spur Strap. Both of our mini Australian Shepherd dogs came well-prepared with crate training and thoughtful care, making the transition seamless. Nicole goes above and beyond. When we drove across the country for our second pup, she even prepared him for travel and sent us off with a care package. We’ll never go anywhere else for our next dog! We'll always return to Spur Strap Minis”

“We reached out to Nicole in 2015 and brought home Zuli, who quickly became the sweetest, most laid-back pup and the whole neighborhood’s favorite. A few years later we added Josie, who now faithfully walks with my husband and even accompanies him to his radio DJ shifts as his ‘K9 producer.’ Nicole’s miniature Australian Shepherd dogs have been a wonderful gift in our retirement years—they are truly the best!”

"In 2020, our 13-year-old son dreamed of a puppy and promised to handle all the responsibilities that came with it. Having known Nicole, the owner of Spur Strap Mini Aussies, since childhood, we knew exactly where to turn. She helped us hand-pick Rhino, who has become one of the smartest, most loving dogs we’ve ever had. Now, as we look to add another pup, there’s only one breeder we trust, and that is of course Spur Strap Minis."
