Experienced Miniature American Shepherd Breeder in Minnesota

I have been breeding and raising Australian shepherds in Minnesota for 29 years. For us it is about the health of our dogs so we check for every known testable disease to the breed. The Miniature American Shepherd was originally the Miniature Australian Shepherd. In 2015 they were fully accepted into AKC as the Miniature American Shepherd. Herding dogs of all breeds are well known as some of the smartest dogs and because of that they are highly sought after to do many things. Mini Australian shepherds have been in demand for awhile as companions and for small farms. 

We started in Miniature American Shepherds in 2019 and are enjoying the smaller size of their bigger counterparts, the Australian Shepherd, and we hope you do too! Our dogs have made wonderful family companions in many types of homes, and it is our mission to place the right Miniature American Shepherd puppy in the right homes based on temperament of the puppy and the type of lifestyle you live and how the puppy will be involved in your life. All of our Miniature American Shepherds are dual registed in AKC and UKC. We love having the opportunity to showcase our dogs in both venues! We show our Minis in Conformation, rally, obedience, trick dog, scentwork, fastcat, barnhunt and some previous buyers also include agility, herding and dock diving. As an added bonus several pups have went on to be working Therapy dogs in a variety of situations.

Happy, Healthy Aussie Bloodline

Our dog’s longevity means a lot to us. We want your mini Aussie puppy to be around in your family for as long as possible. With health testing, proper diet and exercise your miniature American shepherds can live to be 15 years old. We have personally had several live over the age of 15! We test all our potential parents for hip and elbow dysplasia, all our dogs also see a canine ophthalmologist yearly, we also run a full DNA profile for all diseases that the Australian Shepherd and Miniature American Shepherds have available tests for. When we can we also participate in new genetic testing to further make our aussies as healthy as possible. We participate in many seminars throughout the year to learn about updated health information, training, and studies of all things canine.

We ensure our Miniature American Shepherd puppies and adults are socialized from birth. We use a few different ideas on raising pups for what I believe is the most effective way to have a well-rounded Miniature American Shepherd that is the perfect family companion! Early neurological stimulation, early sound and tactile stimulation has set our puppies up for continued success in everyday life as a dog in all types of households. We set the foundation of a great dog and want our new families to continue on with that foundation by enrolling in obedience classes and more, so that the dogs can live their best lives and you can understand what your miniature American shepherd puppy is trying to tell you. This should not stop here as we expect you to continue to get your pup out and about through its life so it can handle what you want to do with it. Socializing does not end with us.
