​​​Possible future litters:

​Bear in mind that not all litters happen in the time frame I anticipated for them.  Mating two dogs does not always produce puppies.  Timing is everything, and sometimes my timing is off.  Pairs are carefully chosen to result in the best possible puppies that will be free of genetic diseases.  Most puppies are priced at $1000, but those out of Cora, Jules, and Bindi will be priced higher.

Due March 2022:

ASDR Champion Cora X Smiley - Blues, some natural bob tails, should be 14.5 - 15" tall

Cookie X Skitter (new dog) -  Reds & blues, some natural bob tails, will be small

Upcoming litters:

Sweetpea X Captain - Should be small blues

Chrissy X Rebel - All blues, probably closer to 16" tall.  Chrissy is available to good home.

​​***Due to problems contacting people who have sent deposits, I am no longer taking deposits on unborn puppies.  When a litter is 2 - 4 weeks old, I will take deposits on the number of viable puppies, and those with deposits will choose from that litter at a few weeks old.  Email me at the address above, if you would like to be added to my puppy update email list.


***I am happy to announce that all of my breeding dogs have been tested for genetic diseases by Paw Print Genetics or Embark, and many of my puppies are tested before they leave.  Using these test results and carefully choosing which dogs to mate insures you that your puppy from JMS Mini Heelers will never go blind from PLL or PRA, which are common genetic (inherited) diseases in the Australian Cattle Dog.***  I have had 4 tested by Embark, who reported that they are 100% Australian Cattle Dog.  Those are Shelby (full sister to Smiley), Luke,  Johnny, and Bug.  

​**I have been receiving requests for stud service from my males.  I do not offer stud service to outside females.  (With the exception of one local friend's dog.)

***JMS Bug In A Rug has her own Facebook page!!  Check her out!***

Pictured below is little Speedy Gonzales.  Speedy was probably the first born from Tia's litter, and being a first time mom, she did not notice that she had had him.  I found him off to the side of the puppy room, still wet, and he was so cold that he was very stiff.  It literally felt like I had taken him out of the refrigerator when I picked him up.  I could not believe he was still alive....but he was probably only a breath or two away from death.  I warmed him under my shirt for about an hour, and he "came to life".  I believe Tia thought he was dead, because she refused to accept him.  (She was an awesome mom to the others!)  Therefore, I bottle fed Speedy since the day he was born.  First, he was too tiny to take a bottle, so I fed him with a cosmetic sponge soaked in formula.   This little guy will never be sold. He has my heart!  Speedy is neutered.  He is one of a kind!
