a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved.”
William Jennings Bryan
Thank you for visiting
and your interest in the small Australian Shepherd –
commonly known as the miniature Australian Shepherd. Since
1985, Destiny has specialized in the small Australian
Shepherd.
I first discovered the
joy of owning a small Aussie with my first little blue
dog, Riley. Riley was a joy to own and in typical Aussie
fashion he was a quick study, a clown, a gentleman, a
guardian and my very best friend. Riley was my pet companion,
but I was so taken by these little Aussies that I decided
to acquire a breed quality blue merle female who was related
to Riley from which to start my breeding program. I named
her Kit (RBKC Ch. Croswhite's Miss Kitty Fox, HC). Kit
was a tiny blue merle female with azure blue eyes and
strong Aussie type who went on to become the first mini
Aussie conformation champion of record as well as the
first mini Aussie to be herding instinct certified by
the AHBA.
My dogs are my best friends,
constant companions and breeding dogs that share my home
with me (I don’t have a “kennel”).
Their lineage traces back to my original little blue dog
“Kit” and I’m grateful that her legacy
lives on today.
Destiny is located in Northern Nevada
in the beautiful high desert valley known as the Truckee
Meadows. The Truckee Meadows sits at the northeastern
base of the spectacular Sierra Nevada Mountains and Lake
Tahoe . It's a beautiful setting with over 250 days of
sunshine per year, a dry climate that inhibits pesky insects
(we have no fleas!), lots of fresh clean air and a small
town atmosphere. Enjoy your visit through my site. I always
welcome input and feedback, so I'd love to hear from you!
