Rest-A-Bit Farms is located in eastern North Carolina.  We have had Australian Shepherds for 23 years.  We became interested in the toy, miniature, and teacup breeds when we first saw them eight years ago.  We found that they are identical to the standard breed but only a smaller version.  Our bloodlines come from Wagontail, Rimfire Knight, Beamer, Rafter Bottle, Pruitt's, Driscolls, Benchmark, Patchwork, and Fairplay.  We have traveled the country to find these top bloodlines including the states of OR, WA, PA, NC, AL, KY, WV, and SD. 

Many of the offspring from our dogs are being shown in agility and obedience classes.  Our dogs and puppies are raised indoors and are walked on a large farm daily.  They are socialized and generally good with children and other animals.  We take all precautions for the health of each puppy.  Their tails are docked, they are wormed, and have had all of their necessary shots from a veternarian to ensure quality before you take your puppy home.  We've learned that, in the long run, saving a few dollars by doing it ourselves doesn't pay.  The risk of obtaining an outdated vaccine and leaving your baby unprotected against disease is too great.
