Southern Soul Aussies

About Us

We are a small breeder located just outside Charlotte, NC. We focus on quality AKC, ASCA Australian Shepherds and AKC Miniature American Shepherds (formerly known as Mini Aussies). We have owned Australian Shepherds for 15 years and can't imagine a life without them. Here at Southern Soul, we strive to produce dogs that are structurally correct meeting the breed standard, with sound minds and great temperaments. We breed/raise Aussies that are versatile and excel in just about anything. (Performance sports, service/therapy dogs, conformation, and loyal companions).
Our dogs have access to a huge fenced yards with plenty of playtime and exercise. They spend their everyday lives with us. Aussies are known as "velcro dogs" who want to be with their human(s) at all times. We have just a small number of dogs in our pack to ensure they are getting the attention and enrichment they each deserve. Our lives really do revolve around our dogs as every day we take them somewhere that is going to be good exercise, enrichment, and/or socialization. We enjoy taking them on off leash hikes, herding, agility, dock diving, swimming at the lake, rally/obedience classes, scent work, lure coursing, therapy visits, conformation, or just running errands. At Southern Soul, our dogs are family. Our dogs travel and vacation with us because I can't imagine the thought of leaving them behind, PLUS an Aussie just makes everything more fun!
It is our goal to produce dogs that do not have issues that will effect them or their owners. Our breeding stock comes from top and current champion lines with generations of health testing. You can view breed specific recommended health testing at AKC.org. Here at Southern Soul we preserve and protect the Australian Shepherd and Miniature American Shepherd breeds we are so passionate about.
When you get a Southern Soul puppy, you become part of our "family." There is nothing we love more than Pupdates and are here to answer any questions you have for the lifetime of your dog.
