Hey there! I am Tacie, the founder of Azure Sky Minis. I have been obsessed with dogs since birth. When I was a baby my mom gave me a small stuffed-animal puppy that I brought everywhere with me. When I started talking, I called that little plush 'Oof-Oof.' I watched Disney's 101 Dalmations, with 'Oof-Oof" in my arms, every single day. My parents joke that's where Azure Sky Mini's really began. At 4 years old I was 'finally' given my very own REAL dog, Wallie! At 8 years old, I joined a local Dog 4-H Club with an amazing leader who helped me discover the many facets of dog competitions and the endless possibilities of careers with dogs. Because of my love for Wallie, I knew my breed of choice would be Mini American Shepherds, formerly known as Mini Australian Shepherds. My breeding program is called 'Azure Sky Minis' because my first two dogs (Wallie and Relic) each have beautiful blue eyes and every bright, sunny, blue-skied day on the farm are full of magical adventures. |
