RAFTER 22'S NORTHERN ELEGANCE
About
Meet Grace, our spirited blue merle Mini Aussie! Standing at 17" tall and weighing 30lbs, she’s the perfect blend of compact and agile. With her medium-high energy and drive, Grace loves to run, play fetch, and chase her siblings around the farm. I believe she would do well herding catle if given the opportunity. This goofy and fun-loving girl is not only entertaining, but also incredibly smart!

Grace as a Mama
Grace is a very attentive mama. She is constantly tending to her puppies starting the second they hit the ground. She tends to move her puppies frequently. Following in the footsteps of her own mother, Mesa, Grace has very large litters, often welcoming 8-12 puppies. She is able to produce all coat colors when paired with a red or red factored stud.
Merley's Mama
We got Mesa from Rimfire Aussies in Oregon. Her breeder, Sylvia Whitmore of Rimfire Aussies, is considered one of the foundation breeders of the Miniature Australian Shepherd. Mesa was an incredible mom to large litters of 11-13 puppies. She is incredibly intelligent, cuddly, and possesses the conformation I needed to produce well structured puppies. Mesa stands at a compact size of 16.5" tall and weighs 32lbs. Mesa retired in 2023.
Merley's Dad
Meet Aspen, a striking black tri stud from Wiggle Tail Trails in Colorado. Standing at 15 tall and weighing 24 lbs, he’s a high-energy companion with a medium drive and an eagerness to please. Aspen is intelligent, agile, loyal, and fiercely devoted to being the best dog. When he is not playing ball or hiking, he enjoys snuggling up next to us on the couch. With his captivating blue eyes and charming personality, Aspen is the perfect all-around dog for any adventure!
