I have Trained, Shown, and Trialed the dogs I have owned in AKC, Canada, UKC, ASCA(Australian Shepherds), and USRC(Rottweilers), successfully since 2001. I currently only own AKC Miniature American Shepherds, although I have only owned this breed for a few years, I have owned Australian Shepherds since 2002 so I have a lot experience with where this breed has come from and want to assist in where this beautiful, smart breed is going. Before my dogs are considered for breeding, they have genetic health testing done, hips and elbows passed by OFA and they have had their eyes checked. However you will see several more health tests completed before the breeding ever takes place. I only breed dogs that I feel are a good representative of the breed, which includes temperament/health/breed standard, regardless of how many titles I have put on them or health tests they have passed. All puppies are raised following the Puppy Culture Program. They whelped and raised in the house under foot (not in a kennel), so they have plenty of socialization, are started on housebreaking through use of a dog door and crate training before leaving for their new home at 8 weeks. I am an AKC Breeder of Merit Silver Level and an AKC Bred with H.E.A.R.T Breeder. I am also a member in good standing with Miniature American Shepherd Club Of The USA, the parent club of the Miniature American Shepherd for the American Kennel Club.

Located in the mountains of Western North Carolina, we produce Miniature American Shepherds for pet owners. We are a small breeder allowing us to provide the care and attention needed for healthy, socialized puppies to become part of your family. In 2010, having had Australian Shepherds for years and being involved in ranching, we were looking for the personality of the "big" dog but one we could keep in the house as a family pet. Needless to say, we fell in love with the Minis. Tawny, a red tri female, began our journey and called us to begin breeding Miniature American Shepherds. Today, we continue to move forward in a breeding program that produces the "look" of the larger dog in a smaller package with use of conscientious genetics to eliminate potential health problems.
