Shae & Cooper
We’ve got a shiny new crew aboard! Shae’s final litter has arrived, bringing us six beautiful Ridgestar babies, 2 handsome boys and 4 lovely girls! Inspired by the beloved series Firefly, these little Browncoats are ready to make their mark on the ‘Verse.
This litter holds a special place in our hearts. Cooper, formerly Dragon, comes from our own Ridgestar Wildflower litter and is a Bareback Jack son, bringing together familiar Ridgestar dogs and treasured old herding lines behind Shae and her mother.
There’s something pretty special about watching generations come together, especially when it marks the final chapter for a girl who has meant so much to our program.
We’re looking forward to watching this little crew grow, discovering their personalities and seeing all the brains, charm and unmistakable Mini Aussie spark we love.
Six little Browncoats, one very special mama and a final adventure that’s sure to be shiny! We couldn’t have imagined a better send-off for Shae, and we’ll be soaking up every moment of her grand finale.”

Hottie & Crosby
A Little Smoke, A Little Magic, and a Whole Lot of Puppy Mischief!
Hottie and Crosby’s nine little pumpkins are officially TWO weeks old, and things are starting to get interesting around here!
With 5 boys and 4 girls, this crew is growing like weeds! Eyes are opening, little legs are getting stronger, and those tiny personalities are beginning to emerge. We’re already seeing hints of who’s going to be the troublemaker, who’s happiest snuggled up, and who might just be running the show!
Hottie, for a first-time mama with Nine puppies, has certainly got her paws full! These little Aussies are getting plenty of love and attention as they grow and discover the world around them, all while being raised the Ridgestar way.
Nine little faces, Eighteen tiny ears, Thirty Six busy paws, and a whole lot of personality just waiting to shine!
Stay tuned. The real fun is just getting started!

The Grand Ole Pawpry
Nya & Megabyte
The wait is over, and we’ve got five little country stars making their debut! Nya and Megabyte have welcomed 3 boys and 2 girls, and we’re calling this talented little lineup our TWAIN litter, with each puppy named after a country music artist!
This is a pairing we’ve been looking forward to for quite some time. Nya, our ASCA Champion girl, and Megabyte, an ASCA and AKC Champion, have brought together two pedigrees we are especially excited about. We can’t wait to see how these little stars develop!
Neither Nya nor Megabyte is on the large side for an Australian Shepherd, so while these puppies will be bigger than our Mini Aussies, we’re expecting a really nice, moderate size. Plenty of Aussie without taking over the whole couch.
We’re excited for beautiful, versatile puppies with the brains, temperament and athleticism to shine wherever life takes them, whether that’s the performance ring, outdoor adventures or simply stealing the hearts of their families.
Five little stars, one country-inspired lineup and a whole lot of potential! The TWAIN litter has officially taken the stage, and we can’t wait to see which of these little performers steals the show!”

About MASCA
Through MASCA, the parent club and registry for the Australian Shepherd of the miniature variety, the mini Aussie remains a size variety of the Australian Shepherd, with a continuous gene pool. The dogs will NOT become a separate breed, UNLIKE the AKC Miniature American Shepherd.
Dog owners and future owners concerned with maintaining Australian Shepherd heritage, instinct, temperament and type in a mini Aussie, are invited to contact MASCA for additional information about the club and its goals.
A MASCA mini Aussie:
- Is not registered with the AKC as a breed other than an Australian Shepherd
- Is not the same as the AKC/FSS Miniature American Shepherd
- Is the true Aussie of the miniature variety
- Will always be an Aussie
MASCA is NOT seeking recognition as a Miniature American Shepherd with AKC/FSS.
MASCA will protect the integrity of the MASCA registry and continue to register Australian Shepherds of the miniature variety. We are true to the heritage of our dogs.
