WHO WE ARE

Our History

The Nisley family, celebrating 30 years of marriage, is a close-knit unit consisting of Paul and his wife Rebecca alongside their nine children and four grandchildren. Together, they manage an organic dairy farm, supplying Horizon Organics with premium organic milk. In addition to dairy farming, the Nisleys are passionate about training colts and farming horses on their family farm, where a flock of chickens also roams freely.

For the past decade, the Nisleys have been actively involved in breeding mini-Australian shepherds, drawn not only to the breed’s charming personality but also recognizing their natural aptitude as excellent herding companions, ideal for their family farm operations.

Their daily routine revolves around shared activities, including tending to the dairy farm, horse training sessions, and nurturing their beloved dogs. The family harbors aspirations of venturing out west one day to reconnect with relatives and explore historical settlements.

Beyond their agricultural pursuits, Paul manages Penwood Manufacturing, a venture specializing in crafting custom cabinetry and heirloom-quality furniture. Their craftsmanship can be explored on their website at www.penwoodbrands.com.

Three of the boys have farmettes of their own and have added 2 more favorite breeds;
The Springer Spaniel water dogs
And all time favorite Yorkies

The Nisleys eagerly await connections from individuals interested in adopting one of their cherished mini-Australian pups, ready to become lifelong companions for new families. Whether through text, email, or phone, they invite inquiries to learn more about their pups and the adoption process.

Is my deposit refundable?
Your deposit is fully refundable within a 48-hour window. Alternatively, you can transfer the deposit to reserve another puppy
Is my purchase refundable?
Once a puppy is paid in full, refunds are not available, nor do we accommodate refunds for buyer’s remorse. Please review our health guarantee in our Refunds and Returns Policy page which includes a 30-day money-back health guarantee.
Do you provide a health guarantee?
We want every puppy to go home happy and healthy. To ensure that all is well in its new environment, we ask that if possible you get your puppy checked by a vet within 10 days of going home. We also recommend not placing your puppy down on any grass where other dogs have gone to potty until your puppy is seen by a vet. To view the whole health guarantee, please visit our Refunds and Returns page.
