Toy Australian Shepherds at Ivy Meadows

Zanny is our beautiful black bi female, red factored, with warm brown eyes and the cutest little button ears you've ever seen. She also carries her full tail, which adds to her sweet and elegant expression. Standing at 11½ inches tall and weighing around 11–12 pounds, Zanny is full panel clear aside from MDR1, and she is NAD clear. 

From the moment she joined our home, Zanny has been an absolute dream. Easygoing, willing, and wonderfully mannered right from the start, she embodies the ideal traits that make her an exceptional family companion. Today, she remains everything we could ask for—sweet, affectionate, social, and endlessly loving. Zanny has never met a stranger, and everyone who meets her falls in love just as quickly. 

Fast, very smart, and naturally low drive, Zanny is a delightful companion who thrives on attention and connection. Above all, she is a true cuddle bug. 

Her coat is beautifully sleek with a soft, medium-to-long length and minimal shedding compared to many Aussies, all while maintaining that classic, elegant Aussie coat. Zanny is hardship registered through ASDR from foundation stock, bringing valuable genetic diversity into our dog breeding program—something we greatly appreciate in our efforts to preserve high-quality Toy Australian Shepherd lines. 

Zanny is simply phenomenal. She has always been the perfect dog, and we feel incredibly lucky to have her as part of our program.

Ocean is an absolutely striking black tri female with double blue eyes that stop people in their tracks. Her tan points are minimal—often giving her a bi-colored appearance at first glance—and her overall look is wonderfully typey, thick, and beautifully balanced. As a potential addition to your dog breeding program, she brings impressive traits to the table. 

Standing 12 inches and weighing 12 pounds, she embodies that classic Aussie headpiece and build we adore: expressive, correct, and unmistakably Australian Shepherd in silhouette. Additionally, she is an NBT (natural bobtail) carrier, which means she may produce natural bobtail puppies, further enhancing her appeal in dog breeding. 

Ocean comes from a wonderfully blended pedigree. Her dam boasts highly recognized, proven lines with multiple champions, while her sire originates from strong foundation stock. By merging these two worlds—well-established lines and an exceptional foundation dog—she adds valuable genetic diversity while preserving a consistent, well-structured Toy Aussie, making her an ideal candidate for families seeking quality companions. 

Beyond her beauty, Ocean’s temperament is every bit as lovely. She is incredibly sweet and deeply affectionate in her own quiet, sincere way. While she’s perfectly content exploring independently and never causing trouble, when she chooses to come in for snuggles, they are the truest, most heartfelt cuddles—soft, close, and full of connection. She doesn’t demand constant affection but always welcomes it, and this temperament is a wonderful match for families who appreciate a dog that is loving without being overly needy. We anticipate that Ocean may pass along this beautifully balanced nature to her puppies, making her an excellent choice for families seeking devoted companions. 

Moreover, Ocean is highly intelligent, very biddable, and genuinely eager to please—hallmarks of the Aussie breed. She loves to play, work, and learn. Fetch, tug, treats, and training sessions are all among her favorite things, and she approaches life with both enthusiasm and thoughtfulness. All around, she is a fantastic dog—beautiful inside and out—and an invaluable part of our program.

Winona is our tiny little showpiece—an unbelievably cute black tri girl wrapped in rich, vibrant copper. She has one striking blue eye and another that’s mostly blue with a warm touch of brown, giving her the most expressive, unforgettable gaze. Being red factored adds even more versatility to her already lovely genetic profile, making her an ideal candidate for dog breeding enthusiasts.

Standing right at 10 inches and weighing about 9 pounds, Winona is small enough to scoop up with one hand, yet she carries truly exceptional structure. She has a perfect set of button ears and beautifully balanced conformation—qualities that are incredibly hard to find in Toys of this size, where type often starts to fade. Her remarkably thick, plush coat gives her a soft, substantial feel that adds to her overall charm and presence, making her a delightful family companion. Winona embodies correctness in every inch of her tiny frame and comes from a strong, proven lineage; she is dual registered with both AKC and ASDR.

Full of personality, Winona is fast, athletic, playful, and absolutely loves to run. But the moment she slows down, she becomes all snuggles and kisses, happily melting into your arms and offering affection with her whole heart. She is the sweetest little bundle, with the biggest desire to be close to her loved ones.

Winona joined us at eight months old when another breeder decided to downsize their program, and we still feel incredibly grateful to have found her and the opportunity to bring her home. She was such a phenomenal little surprise—one of those rare moments where everything aligns and you just know you’ve found something special.

She is a NAD carrier and is otherwise full panel clear.

Winona truly is the perfect tiny package: correct, confident, loving, and utterly adorable—making her a fantastic addition for any family looking for a loyal companion.

Eva is our beautiful red tri girl, graced with the most soulful amber eyes—soft, warm, and expressive in a way that feels almost human. She carries such a distinctly feminine look; her body type, presence, and carriage all have a natural elegance that makes her instantly recognizable. Standing at 12½ inches tall and weighing 12–14 pounds, she sports a gorgeous full, intact tail that adds to her charm and flowing silhouette.

Eva is an incredibly sweet soul, often displaying moments where she seems to truly smile, her whole face lighting up with contentment. She’s a bit of a homebody, happiest in the comfort of familiar places, and she absolutely loves food—something I tease her about often, as it makes her a girl after my own heart.

As a wonderful mother, Eva is gentle, attentive, patient, and nurturing in all the most important ways, which I believe is essential in the dog breeding community. She came to us at two years old from a breeder who was leaving the business, and she has been nothing short of a blessing. Being hardship registered from foundation stock adds valuable genetic diversity to the breed, which is incredibly important in Toy Aussies.

Toward the end of 2026, once she is retired and spayed, I will likely consider inquiries for a potential forever home for Eva, where she can be a loving family companion. There will never be any rush, and it would have to be an absolutely perfect match. I love her dearly, and she is thriving, happy, and no trouble whatsoever here. I simply believe that some dogs—especially dogs like her—have so much love and light to offer that it feels selfish to keep all of it to myself. She deserves the chance, if the right family appears, to be someone’s heart dog, someone’s constant companion, and to be doted on the way she so naturally invites.

Until then, and if that perfect situation never comes along, Eva will remain here with us, cherished and adored for the wonderful girl she is.
