Tamarani Border Collies & Miniature American Shepherds

27/09/2026

Well… we’ve finally decided it’s time to introduce these little guys. 💙🐾

We have a couple of our very special Miniature American Shepherd baby boys now available to approved homes.

They are cheeky, affectionate and incredibly loveable — full of personality, always ready to be involved in whatever is going on, and very fond of a cuddle. They’re happy, fun little characters who make us smile every day.

We’re looking for lovely homes where they’ll be very much part of the family, and as always, finding the right fit is much more important to us than simply finding a home.

And a small favour… please only enquire if you’ve already checked with your partner that now really is the right time to add a puppy to the family 😂

I love chatting about this awesome breed, but non-serious enquiries do take time away from our dogs and puppies.

Genuinely interested? Send me a message and tell me a little about yourself and what you’re looking for in your next dog. We’ll have a chat and, if it sounds like one of our boys could be a good fit, I’ll send through our Expression of Interest form.

Does anyone have two types of kids in their family?..the ones dedicated to eating breakfast and the ones who prefer to play? 😂

NB it doesn't matter how often we clean bedding, there's always one who needs to toilet 😅

Our much awaited Miniature American Shepherd litter from Kallie arrived via emergency c section 3 weeks ago, when her first bubba got a little stuck.
Thanks to Meander Valley Veterinary Service for your super care, keeping Kallie well and getting all 6 babies out safely. 💜

All are doing super well and started on solids today!

There are 5 beautiful boys and one black tri "mini Kallie" girl.

If you are interested in adding an amazing little dog to your family, send us a message with a little about yourself and the type of home you can offer.

UPDATE: Tweed found his furever home today! I am sure he and his new family will have many snuggles and adventures together xx

Tweed is looking for a couch to claim and a family to cuddle! 💙

Tweed is such an easy little guy to have around. He has a lovely sweet temperament, enjoys having fun, and gets along well with kids and other dogs.

He’s a quick learner and has very much inserted himself into our household... lol.

As much as we love having him here, Tweed is looking for a home of his own. We’re not looking for just any home, but one that will suit his friendly, affectionate nature and make him a much-loved part of the family.

If you’re looking for a loyal companion who’ll happily join in with daily life and then curl up beside you for cuddles, Tweed might be the perfect fit. So send Lani a message, with some information about how a MAS will fit into your family, and we can chat. 🐾💙

Edited: Digger has found a lovely family!

Introducing Digger! DOB 25th April 2026
If you would like a super little companion, who is equally as happy having a cuddle as he is playing and exploring, he's the boy for you.

He is a small boy, expected to mature around 14-15 inches, so will be super easy to fit into your lifestyle.
He is athletic like his mum, so would enjoy dog sports or just fitting in with an active family life. He doesn't mind a paddle in water, lol...so if that's part of your lifestyle, he will enjoy that too. 🤣

If you would like to chat about Digger, send me a message along with some info about how a puppy would fit into your life. 💜

The family coming to meet Tweed actually matched with Digger instead, so he is still available. 😊

Introducing Tweed, DOB April 25th 2026

This young man is a true delight, he has a super personality, a little bit cheeky, confident and very affectionate.
He will excel in dog sports, especially disciplines like Trick Dog and Rally. His mum also competes in agility and herding, and dad loves both the cafe and farm life.

I would love for him to go to a family that would enjoy similar pursuits.

If you would like to chat about Tweed, or our other available Miniature American Shepherd puppies, I am always happy to chat. 💜

Edit: Koda has found an amazing home,!

you have been busy and need to plant yourself for a nap 😴

🌿 Koda is searching for his forever family. 🌿

Our little budding landscaper is now ready to find a loving, dedicated home where he will be cherished as a valued member of the family.

Koda is an affectionate, intelligent and eager-to-please young boy who genuinely enjoys learning and being part of everyday life. He has lovely potential for dog sports, but he'll be just as happy sharing adventures with an active family who wants a loyal companion by their side.

We expect Koda to mature at around 17 inches, making him a wonderfully versatile size.

We believe choosing a puppy is the beginning of a relationship, not the end of a transaction. We are committed to carefully matching each puppy with the right family and providing ongoing support throughout their life, so you'll never be on your own if you need advice or guidance.

If Koda sounds like he could be the missing piece in your family, we'd love to hear from you. Send us a message to learn more about him and the Tamarani philosophy.

The kids had a fun time site supervising some temporary paving before the rain was scheduled to arrive.

Michael I am sure appreciated their "help" 😁

We are lucky to have some lovely older kids to spend time with our puppies.
Flynn, a MAS himself, has been so sweet with our first Miniature American Shepherd litter 😍

There is some availability, message us for an expression of interest form.
