Reno's Happy EAR (also the wind blew it up)--his ear does NOT stand up all the time _{(but the wind DOES blow most of the time)}
--all the better to hear the rabbits!

Chase N Reno (new puppy granddaddy!)
17 inch red tri stud dog with stunning conformation, striking color and points, and an amazing personality. 
Loving, devoted, hearty, and dependable.
Reno is the heart of our program, bringing us a devotion like no other, breeding body and soul and striking good looks into his pups! 

This boy has TONS of coat!

Reno has proven his NATURAL herding instincts by moving 15 cow/calf pairs solo!  He moved some cows that have never experienced a herding dog EVER..and thought he must be crazy coming after them.  The look on that cows face as this little dog seemed to GROW in size and ambition........was breathtaking.....as she turned and high tailed it along!

Reno has been our "SOCIAL BUTTERFLY" since we got him.  He can be seen regularily attending Farm Auctions in Western South Dakota.  He attends the office daily, meets our clients, and maintains that "TUXEDO" that you see standing ever vigile waiting in the truck while we tend to business that doesn't allow dogs.

Chase N It Farm difference....

Anyone can find a "Mini Aussie", so what is the difference?  The difference starts with QUALITY!  To Chase N It Farm, the QUALITY, is more important then the price.  This is not a fancy way to say our dogs are more expensive, but this is our way of Guaranteeing......you get what we say.  First and foremost we are not a kennel.  Our dogs do not live in a kennel, they live, eat, sleep and play in our home, on our carpet, in our beds, and everyone over 4mths of age IS HOUSEBROKE!

The Chase N It Farm difference.......is bringing to life dreams.  Our dogs are bred for devotion, conformation, athleticism, and personalities.  What does this mean for you?  It means our dogs will stay by you through thick and thin, are well built enough to handle the job at hand, athletic enough to do things you could only imagine, with the personalities that will make you laugh and understand when you need someone to tell your woes too!

Chase N It Farm mini aussies are our family.  They received regular vet exams, are always up to date on vaccines, worming and preventative care!  We do not cut corners to try to save a dime, we appreciate your investment of money, time and love and we want to give you the most for your money.

Chase N It Farm mini aussies are guaranteed for at least two years*......or I will provide you another puppy for shipping and health papers price only!  TO BOOT--I go further and tell you, my puppies are ALWAYS WELCOME back.  If you are struck with some tragety that forces you to part with our pups, we will take them back and guarantee we will love them forever or find a new home for them.....

Cabalina Chase N Vegas AMERICAN STOCK DOG REGISTRY
Cabalina Vegas- NSDR  (NEW PUPPIES GRANDMA)

CERF-Clear

  Vegas' beautiful babies all have wonderful forever homes.  See her new grandbabies out of Mirage!

"Vegas" brings to our breeding, not only her fabulous merle color and blue eyes, but her impeccable devotion, herding know how, universitality, and body, heart, and soul.  Vegas is a proven herding dog, companion, protector, and even a pheasant hunter!  Vegas loves playing in water, is an awesome swimmer, and a great "automatic" sprinkler service if you just let her have the hose outside.  She is an amazing mother as she cared for nine babies, but she also remained devoted to her momma, keeping an ever vigil eye over me too.  Her and Reno's pups are a living testimonial to how fabulous this little girl is.

THIS GIRL CAN WORK! Vegas' Herding Challange...  Our horse corrals were overrun by 11 cows and a calf that crawled the neighboring fence.  As I pulled up to the gate to get to the corrals, I saw what was going on........my trusty Vegas by my side.  I opened my truck door to get out and open the gate.......I simply said "Get Em going Vegas!".....and out she bounded.  Heading for the 9 cows she saw outside the corrals she rounded the calf back around and sent the 9 cows in motion away.  Not a bark, just a silent serious worker.....one the cows took VERY Seriously. 

At this point, the 1 minute that it was taking me to open the gate.....seemed endless as I have clocked Vegas at 24mph (she can now do 26MPH!)!  Seeing that she did not see the remaining 2 cows in our corral......eating our hay.....I yelled out "Come Back" and pointed to the corral and said "In THERE"......Vegas came running full speed around flew into the corral ran the remaining two cows right up and with the rest of them!  ALL THIS IN LESS THEN 60seconds..roughly.....that it took me to open the gate and get in the truck.

I drove up, following her.....telling her "GET EM OUTTA HERE".

That little girl has the heart of a lion.  I stood there in AWE as she got them through the fence and heading AWAY!  She herded those cows and calf to the next county....TRUELY, as our pastures sit on the county line.  She took them 1/4 mile and came running back to me with the biggest smile on her face EVER!  Not bad for NATURAL intinct, since she has not herded cattle before.  Somedays I believe.......mini's totally understand the English language.

Chase N Mirage had 8 puppies March 11, 2008!
(by: Chase N Reno and out of :Chase N Vegas)  CERF-Clear  American Stock Dog Registered

Chase N Mirage (or Mirage) is training to be a Search and Rescue Dog! See Chronicles of a Search Dog for updates in her training, or click here! This little girl is 16inches and is a glorious red merle with a split face and amazing blue eyes.  Her coloring is striking!  She has been given the knick name of "Little Err"(pronounced rrr).......cause since she was 4 wks old, she always says " Err" when you pick her up.  Just a fun little tid bit in her soul! Mirage has began training in Search and Rescue!  She is a natural to want to please.  Agility beyond amazing....now proving she has the "nose" for saving lives!  WHAT ABOUT MINI AUSSIES?   Miniature Australian Shepherds are derived from the Standard Australian Shepherd.  By reducing the size of the Australian Shepherd, the minis have proved to be able to maintain working status and abilities......yet seem calmer in their general nature and fit into more homes and situations.  It takes qualified breeders to attempt to maintain mini size and standard qualities. The mini aussie is a high energy dog that requires an outlet for their energy.  They need regular activity....be it ball playing, running, romping, working cattle, chasing bunnies, playing frisbee.......they NEED an outlet.  SPEED...Mini Aussies are UNBELIEVABLY fast.  I have clocked mine at a steady 26 MPH!  So they need room to run or an active home that has children that play or bike, or "parents" that are active and situations that they can participate in. My experience is some are more prone to athletic tendancies then others.  My females give over 100% all the time...for as long as they can (i.e. love to run in open spaces)......whereas the males seem more content to cuddle (they love to run too......but seem content either way).  Mini Aussies are wonderful companions!  They are compact to fit comforatably in your life, yet energetic to keep up in whatever your fun.  We have puppies that now ride four wheelers, run along on a trail ride, ride all day in a car, stay by the tractors, ever vigile towards their human children, TOTALLY FAITHFUL! Mini Aussies are very DEVOTED.  They have no desire to run off from their family once they are bonded.  Mini Aussies are very trainable.  Very intelligent.  They, like any dog, need rules, boundaries, and training. Mini Aussies can be prone to the same problems as the Standard Aussies.  The biggest defect comes from breeding two merles together.  This can create a homozygous merle (yes everyone loves merles), however doing this creates a genetic defect causing blind and/or deafness in varying degrees.  These dogs are NOT good breeding and breeders must make the choice to destroy live puppies based on a color assumption.....assuming these dogs have the blind/deaf traits.  By breeding a merle to a solid, bi, or tri.......this is totally allievated, but the # of merles are drastically reduced.    EYES-- Australian Shepherds are prone to eye disorders that breeding stock should be tested for , in an attempt to prevent further breeding of these problems.   HIPS--Australian Shephers are prone to hip disorders, again breeding stock should be tested regular, in an attempt to prevent futher breeding of these problems. Mini Aussies SHED!  Mini Aussies have coats that vary in thickness and length, some are easy keepers (we call them wash and wear) and others have these gorgeous glorious coats that require more upkeep.  EITHER COAT WILL SHED heavily at least twice a year.  They have long "britches" on their rear that require clipping or trimming to prevent fecal matter from sticking to them.  The shedded coat MUST BE REMOVED, if the shed is not removed (by a professional if you do not have the means), the skin can become air deprived and cause skin problems or infections. Mini Aussies GIVE YOU THEIR ALL! 100% of the time, you can ALWAYS count on your Mini Aussie to watch you, love you, work for you, they would......in fact.....be willing to die for you!  Mini Aussies NEED LOTS OF EARLY AND CONTINUED socializing.  They are very family oriented and protective.  They need to be trained to know how to behave in social situations.  Mini Aussies, like our RENO, can be socialized and trained to interact with many people.  WITHOUT PROPER SOCIALIZING AND TRAINING.......your Aussie (large or small) can be protective!  TRAINING IS A MUST!  Obedience, agility, flyball, and just plain doing have the greatest rewards. American Stock Dog is doing their job and doing it well.  Kudos To YOU ASDR!
