I’m extra excited to share Juno, the miniature Australian Shepherd mix. Juno lives with my daughter, Abby, and her boyfriend, Kyle. When they visited recently, they had an impromptu mini studio session with Alice G Patterson Photography. Get ready to squeal a little (or a lot) because Juno is adorable! 
Looking at Juno’s ears, we think that she might be part Papillion, but she hasn’t had a DNA test.
Juno was about five months old in these photos. I gave Juno this plush red apple since she lives in New York City and her mom is an awesome science teacher! The stuffing is 100-percent post-consumer recycled plastic bottles, so it is easier on the environment than some other plush toys. Abby says it is one of Juno’s favorite toys.
Juno is thriving on her diet of freshly cooked dog food.
Juno’s hobbies include herding shoes (but not chewing on them — she just collects them into a pile), chasing balls, and snuggling. She loves everyone. Her best friend is an English Bulldog named Peaches. Juno also enjoys car rides and is always up for a road trip!
Kyle is the founder of the Regeneration Magazine, which focuses on individuals and small businesses making a positive impact on the environment. 
You can catch Juno making cameo appearances on theregenmag Instagram Stories.

That’s the breed of my friend’s new puppy! I couldn’t figure it out, but now I see the same features. Such a cutie
Cute pictures and Juno is adorable indeed! Love her colors. This reminds me of our shepherd Trixie, but she was black.
This little face has me squealing at work. What a sweet baby!!
Juno is so tiny and adorable. She looks like the perfect fur baby for her family.
You took some really amazing photos. Juno is so precious! It’s going to be great to look back at these photos once she gets bigger soon!
Oh my goodness! Juno is SO Adorable! These photos turned out fantastic.

She’s very clever!

Juno is super cute! I love his pointy ears! Also, I love your daughter’s jacket! I definitely think she should purchase it!
What an adorable dog! These pictures are wonderful. It is nice to have such high-quality pet photos!
Oh my heart I think I could see that puppy’s soul through your photos. Thank you for sharing.
Oh my dog, Juno is adorable! I really got a sense of her personality through your photos. Can you send her over to my house to herd some shoes?
She would love that!
Oh my goodness! Such an adorable pup and great pics! We have 4 dogs and 8 cats – all rescues! And we frequently get awesome and adorable spontaneous photos of any number of them.
WHAT A CUTIE!! yeah that is one sweet little pup. Great pics. Puppy shoots are so important they change so very much.
What wonderful photos! Juno is SO adorable, and looks like a very unique mix. Those long legs!! ♥
Oh my Juno is a cutie! I’ve never heard of a mini Australian Shepherd. Would be interesting to do the dna test. Very cute!
Juno is such a cutie! Does he love the big apple/NYC? I loved his recycled red apple toy too! a great pop of color to the photoshoot.
Juno is adorable! Those ears! Those toys look great too. The whole line is adorable – peas and carrots and eggplants. Would love to find a cat version (though small dog toys make good cats.) I like the commitment to the environment that they have.
Juno is adorable, and what beautiful photos! I love the one with the apple, such a wonderful pop of color and such a great meaning behind it! So clever!
Juno, you look so cute and naive!
Oh my goodness, this is just perfect. What gorgeous photographs and I just KNOW that several would look perfect as a canvas collection on the wall. Every photo is sweet and squeeworthy (can I make that a real word?) and it’s all PERFECT!!
OMG!!! Juno is adorable! I think she’s perfect without a DNA test. Actually, I think part of the fun is in the guessing. The photos are absolutely beautiful, as always!
My dog’s name is Juno too and she also has her own blog. Just like your Juno, my Juno loves collecting shoes and bringing them into her bed. She doesn’t chew them either. Your Juno is adorable. Thanks for sharing.
Juno is absolutely adorable! I loved how you described him ‘herding shoes’ haha Lucifer does the same thing in our house, but he herds socks – I’m not sure what he likes so much about them but if it’s laundry day, he can build up quite the collection lol
