Upon doing extensive research about the breed, what would be a good fit for our family but most importantly wanting to ensure the integrity, character and ethics of the breeder were in alignment with us, this was a natural fit. The first phone call, I intuitively felt they cared about the integrity behind the privilege of what they do. No secrets and the transparency of even visiting their home is what sold me. We will welcome our newest member to our family in a month and couldn't be more excited! Bodican is reputable, reliable and has what every person/family should desire. Can't wait to see and meet another artery to my heart!
We came in to a warm welcome to visit the new member of our family. Upon months of research, phone calls and prayers, I immediately knew this was the family for my own family. Transparent, educated and invitational questions made me feel at ease. We came (three children under the age of 7) in tow. Their home is beautiful, the set-up is an exemplary testament of how they care for their litters but I couldn't believe when we met their moms and dads how extraordinarily impressive their temperaments are. My kids felt so comfortable they laid on the floor. Can't say enough good things as I know how I felt upon my search. To know our Luna is in the BEST hands is icing on the familial cake 😊

I would definitely recommend Bodican if you are looking for a Happy, Healthy Mini Aussie. We have only had Brodi for almost 2 weeks and he is such a Love. He adjusted immediately into our home and also with our 1 yr old standard size Aussie. He is so smart ! We took him to the Vet, and he is just perfect !! Thank You Dawn, you really had patience with me, it was wonderful getting to know you. Most of all, Thank you for Brodi, we can not imagine life without him!

Our pup (Naomi) from Maggie and Bodi has been the most wonderful addition to our little family. Dawn was amazing in facilitating everything in the weeks leading up to picking our girl up. She was more than accommodating in sending us picture updates and sharing her vast array of knowledge of the Aussie breed. We visited before our pickup date and we were comforted by the loving home Naomi was being raised in. The older dogs are all extremely affectionate, personable, and intelligent- definitely traits and an environment we were pleased to have Naomi in. We were sent home with a great little folder of information of everything we needed to know and even a little extra. I would highly recommend getting a dog from Bodican for a professional, yet personable, experience and a beautiful, intelligent, loving puppy. Naomi surprises us more each and every day! Thank you, Dawn!

We have had our puppy Libby for just a few short weeks, but she has already stolen our hearts. She is such a beautiful, sweet girl with a lively and playful personality. She is already great with strangers, kids, and other dogs. We just attended our first puppy class and she was such a star- so tiny but well behaved! She is adapting well to New York City and apartment life. We couldn’t be happier with her and are so thankful to Dawn and Bodican Aussies for bringing us our girl! She is a joy!

Our little Shay just turned 6 months and she is awesome. Pretty chill for a puppy (as Dawn had told us when we picked her up) and she definitely loves to observe until she's comfortable with the situation, especially at the dog park and puppy training. She's awesome with my two girls, my four year old will give her big bear hugs and she's so gentle with our baby, even when the baby grabs some of her fur. Shay is the perfect family dog- she keeps me company while I work (from home) and is the perfect "security" for when my husband is traveling for business- though she's a mush for all people she meets. We get so many compliments on her looks but for us, it's what inside that matters most and she's the perfect addition to our family!

I brought home my mini Aussie almost a year ago now, and I just wanted to let you know how incredibly happy we are with our boy, Reagan. He's our first dog, so we were a little nervous about training him. But he's so smart that training him to do anything has been a breeze. On top of being super intelligent, Reagan is the most cuddly, lovable dog I've ever met. He clearly comes from a great family, and we're so happy to have welcomed him into ours. Thank you for the perfect fluffy friend, we couldn't be happier!

From start to finish, Dawn made the process incredibly easy. We were given the option to keep his tail, name him from an early age and updated with progress photos as he got older. Upon picking the puppy up, he was already called by his name and you could tell he was raised in a great environment. Coupled with that, you could really see the professionalism and knowledge about the breed and that Dawn really cares about all the puppies there. Would highly recommend Bodican to anyone who is looking for an extremely well cared for puppy from a loving home. Thank you! 5*

I stumbled on Bodican Aussies web site as I searched for our new family member. What a blessing this was! We had just lost an 8 month old boarder collie from unforeseen circumstances and had been researching different breeds, most interested in a loving family dog/ companion to play and kayak with. We were able to set up a visit at Dawn' s home to meet her crew and learn more about the breed. All her dogs were so well behaved and loving, just what we were looking for. Dawn was very knowledgeable about the breed and answered our questions. We loved her home and the environment the dogs were in and one of her female dogs had a litter of pups, Dawn was fabulous and so reassuring to this mother dog, she allowed us to see her pups. The breed is amazingly playful and responsive to people. We brought our red Merle female pup, Reese home 4 days ago, she is adjusting well and loves to be around us, interacting and playing, she is responsive to her name and learning primary words- out, potty. She is such a wiggle butt when she comes to cuddle! Thank you Dawn for such an amazing, well adjusted, loving baby pup. We may be back for more! We recommend Dawn and Bodican mini aussies- you won't be disappointed!

We can not say enough amazing things about Dawn & Bodican Mini Aussies. Chance has been the perfect addition to our family, and we can't imagine our lives without him now. He is easily the sweetest little pup we could have ever hoped for, which we greatly attribute to Dawn and how well she cares for the puppies. Dawn was gracious enough to let us go meet Chance before bringing him home, as well as his parents (Bodi & Kocco). Dawn answered every email, question, frequently updated us with photos and went above and beyond to ensure we were ready to bring our little guy home. Thank you so much Dawn

We have now had our sweet little Chance for almost a month, and he has been the perfect addition to our family. He is easily the sweetest, most loving, and impossibly adorable puppy we could have ever asked for! He has brought us a tremendous amount of joy in such a short period of time, and never fails to make us laugh at the silly things he does! We could tell the day we picked him up to come home how loved and well cared for he was. From the very beginning we absolutely loved working with Dawn. She sent us a picture of the litter of puppies the night they were born. We were so excited! Dawn was incredible at responding to emails, answering questions, keeping us updated on every milestone (when they began to open their eyes, when they started walking, etc.), and keeping us updated with new photos. She also allowed us to go meet our puppy (we were to excited to wait until he turned 8 weeks!), which we thought was so kind. On the day we picked Chance up to take him home, she sent us home with a folder with a ton of information about the breed, wet food and dry food, a toy that smelled like his litter-mates and a blanket that smelled like his mother. She also sat with us and answered any questions we may have had before bringing him home! We have gotten so many compliments on Chance, and we can not say enough nice things about Dawn and her dogs. You can tell she loves and cares for her dogs and all of the puppies so much. If you want a Mini Aussie, Dawn is absolutely the right person to go to! You will NOT regret it!

Dawn is absolutely awesome! I brought home the sweetest puppy. The process was great and I was kept updated with photos and emails as soon as Scarlett was born. When picking up the puppy Dawn even sent her home with her first toy, a blanket smelling like her mom and both wet and dry food! It was a great experience and Scarlett is a great addition to my two other Mini Aussies. I highly recommend!!

We just brought home baby Lextington yesterday. Having worked closely with Dawn it was a pleasure to see Lexington raised in such a warm and loving home. She is exceedingly knowledgeable about the breed and goes out of her way to make sure the transition is as smooth as possible. Lexington maybe the cutest dog a live and we're so happy and grateful to have him.

I can't express enough what a beautiful pup I have. He came very well socialized and even knew his name at 8 weeks old and that is credit to his breeder. Dawn is very knowledgeable and helpful.

We are first time dog owners and fell in love with the pups from Bodican and brought home the biggest ball of energy and love to be a part of our family, Bodie. Handsome, healthy and with a big personality, getting our little Aussie was the best decision we ever made. Dawn was wonderful to work with, as she was incredibly responsive when we first decided we wanted to come visit the pups, and was patient with all of our questions, both before we took him home and in the weeks after. When we're ready for another pup, we'll be coming back to them!

We adopted our Riley from Bodican Mini Aussies five weeks ago, and we could not love our new little boy more! Dawn was an absolute pleasure to work with--from our initial inquiries, my many questions by phone, our pre-adoption visit, where we got to meet Riley's family as well as Dawn's, and finally to the exciting pick-up day, when Dawn and I spent a long, unhurried time at her kitchen table going over all of the important information we would need to know before we took our new puppy home. Riley is a healthy, happy, energetic and smart puppy (completely potty trained on door bells in less than 3 weeks!) and we already can't imagine our family without him! We highly recommend Bodican and their wonderful Mini Australian Shepherds!

Met Dawn and all of her wonderful Aussies today! All of the puppies were so adorable, we had a hard time choosing just one. Loved the amazing environment that our new puppy is coming from and we feel very at ease that we are choosing the right fur baby to add to our family of 6. I don't know how we will manage to wait 4 more weeks until we can bring baby Bella home! Thank you again!

Our experience with Bodican was better than we could have hoped for! Dawn and her family take such good care of the puppies; the puppies are raised in such a loving environment.

My girl will be 2 in February on Valentine's Day ❤ and has been the perfect addition to our family! People always stop to admire and ask about her; she has bicolored eyes and is a Merle making for a striking combination. Our experience with Bodican Miniature Aussies was better than I could have hoped for. They are very knowledgable about the breed and the pups and parents are all very well taken care of. They treat them as part of the family. I cannot thank them enough!

I purchased my first mini Aussie pup from Dawn (Bodican) after seeing another of her puppies out and about in Saratoga over a year ago. The dog was so sweet and stunning that we asked the owner where she got it. I liked Dawn's Facebook page and some time later fell in love with the picture of a new puppy we've since named Poe. He has become a local celebrity to the point that when we walk in town we overhear people saying that is Poe, he's a miniature Australian Shepherd. He is stunning, sweet, and super intelligent. He is always with me and I can't say enough good about him. For as much as we loved the look of the puppy we met in town, we were more taken with Dawn's four adults. When we went to look at Poe's litter we met Maggie and Bodi (his parents) as well as Ginger and Kocco and we could tell immediately that Dawn cares about her pets and is breeding from healthy and pleasant stock. All of her dogs are very well behaved and have remarkable temperaments. We're very happy puppy owners, satisfied that Poe comes from a loving environment and excellent lineage.

Bodican Mini Aussies is the epitome of excellence when it comes to breeders. Dawn and her family take excellent care with their puppies, socializing them in a fun, safe, family atmosphere where they obviously learn to trust and be happy! I called about an advertised puppy but it was already taken, however, she had a new unadvertised litter that was only 2 weeks old. It seemed a long time to wait to replace our beloved pet, who has just passed on, but she suggested I come look at the new puppies.
Her home is beautiful, and the parents are so very cute and friendly, that I was instantly hooked. I chosed a black tri-color male who was just too cute to describe. I knew it would be so hard to wait 6 weeks to receive our puppy, but Dawn and her family were amazing! Every week, she sent new pictures of the puppy as he grew, with updates on his personality. I started putting the pictures up as the background on my work computer, and my co-workers would all get excited along with me when new pictures were added. We named him Kody (for his mom Kocco and his dad Bodi) and she started using his name long before he came home to us. It was a wonderful experience and Kody is the center of our world now. He is so smart, and moved right in without a problem. He was paper trained the first day, and never has an accident! He loves to learn, is a bundle of energy, and is so attentive! Our Vet said he is on "cuteness overload".
We will be having Kody neutered, to leave the breeding of these wonderful pets to professionals like Dawn who know their stuff! You can do no wrong with adopting a puppy from Bodican, because they go above and beyond what you could ever possibly expect from a breeder! So glad I found them!

It's been a pleasure dealing with you Dawn. It was obvious from the beginning that you and your family really love what you do and these puppies. Thank you! Scout (we kept the name) is such a fun dog, he fits in with our family beautifully and adds a new energy. He gives us kisses everyday (all day) he's such a sweetie. xx

I found an ad on the Want ad Digest; called that day and set up an appointment to meet the puppies that weekend. Luckily because I called they did not sell all the puppies before I got there. Another person had inquired about buying the remaining two female puppies!! My daughter and I went to meet the puppies and fell in love with a little blue merle girl. Although her sister was just as sweet as she was! We were able to meet the parents and they were just as charming, I had many questions as this is our first puppy and they answered everything I threw at them. I love that the puppies are given lots of attention and were around children about my daughter's age. We named the puppy Livia and she fits in with our little family perfectly. She is smart, happy, and healthy. At 4 months she knows a few standard commands. I am very appreciative to have her in my life and am glad she came from such a wonderful home. Thank you Bodican Mini Aussies! You helped to complete our small family.

She couldnt be more perfect and the Bodican Mini Aussie Family are wonderful people! They answered all of our questions and we continue to keep in touch and share photos. I would recommend them to anyone. The dogs that live there are so happy and well cared for! A wonderful experience for all of us!

We recently adopted a puppy from Bodican Mini Aussies, I can honestly say it was a wonderful experience! For starters we were able to meet both families - the dog family, which was wonderful - beautiful bone structure and lines on both mother and father, temperament is phenomenal - a pet owners dream, the sweetest dogs you will ever meet! We also had the pleasure of meeting the human family, just like the dogs - these are the nicest people you could ever ask to meet! It comes as no surprise to me that our new puppy was so sweet and so settled, he came from excellent breeding and a wonderful environment! Within an hour of our puppy coming home he settled right in and it was as if he spent his whole life here, of course we've had tons of company to meet our new addition - he just loves everybody, and they love him! He won over the hearts of our other pets as well, cats love him, our mini aussie took right to him and my kids haven't stopped smiling since he came thru the door. This whole experience is even more than I could have asked for, I look forward to many years of happiness our new little man will bring us, and I can't thank Bodican enough for everything they've done! I can honestly say these folks not only get how to breed top quality mini aussies, but they are also top of their field when it comes to creating well rounded puppies as far as developing their personalities as well.
Thank you Bodican for giving us an awesome puppy, an wonderful experience and many years of happy memories!

Bodican Mini Aussies were wonderful to work with when we were looking for a new puppy to bring into our home. They were able to answer any questions we had, from what pet foods were best for an Aussie's diet to which shots or exams we needed to get for our new dog. Speckles (now called Pesha) is a welcome member of our family, and we enjoy the brightness and energy she brings into our lives every day.

FAQ's
Here are some frequently asked questions with answers excerpted from the United States Australian Shepherd Association.
What Are The Breed Characteristics Of Australian Shepherds?
Australian Shepherds were developed to herd livestock and work as all-purpose farm and ranch dogs. While many Aussies continue to work as stock dogs, the breed has earned recognition in a variety of other roles because of their high intelligence, train ability and eagerness to please. Australian Shepherds also work
as Search and Rescue dogs, guide dogs for the blind, therapy and hearing ear dogs, and drug detection dogs. They have become highly regarded for their skills
in the competitive sports of obedience , agility, and fly ball.And, most of all they are beloved family companions
What Is The Temperament Of Australian Shepherds?
Aussies are "people" dogs that thrive on human companionship. They have an intense need to be near their owners, following them from room to room when
indoors and staying close by their heels when outdoors. Because of this trait, your Aussie will be happiest when kept in the house as a member of your family.
Dogs kept in kennels or fenced yards need a significant amount of "people" time each day in order to remain emotionally healthy. Isolation from humans can
quickly ruin an Aussie's personality.
Australian Shepherds that have been properly socialized and trained are ideal family dogs. They are gentle guardians of small children and enthusiastic playmates of older children and adults.However, Aussies are typically reserved with strangers and can be quite protective of their family and property., Taking
your dog to training classes and introducing him to a wide variety of people and places will help him develop appropriate social behaviors.
Care For My New Australian Shepherd
Most Aussies are energetic dogs that require vigorous daily exercise to keep them healthy and happy. Running, playing with another dog, retrieving a ball or
Frisbee, swimming or participating in other activities are some ways your dog can get the exercise he needs. If exercise is not provided on a daily basis, your dog may bark or become destructive out of frustration.
Grooming My New Australian Shepherd
A healthy Australian Shepherd coat sheds dirt and does not require a great deal of maintenance. Weekly brushing down to the skin with a pin brush will
eliminate mats and tangles and remove dander and dust. A slicker brush will help remove undercoat during the shedding season.
