Miniature American Shepherd & Australian Shepherd Breeder - Minnesota

Mini Males

Our Mini American shepherd studs are chosen for our program because they have solid, fun loving temperaments!

They pass all health clearances suggested by the AKC Miniature American Shepherd parent club and all the newer testing that has come out! Check their health testing links to see all that has been done on each dog. We upload everything to OFA as we choose to be transparent with our breeding program as much as possible. We want it to be easy for anyone inquiring on health of our miniature Americans! We want to produce the healthiest dogs we can and use all health testing tools available. Until they are adults at 2 years old not all results will be on OFA. Click on their health testing link for each dog to see what their results are. We pay the extra fees to OFA to have all our health testing available for everyone to see. If you have any questions, please do ask.

We health test our miniature American shepherds for:

OFA or Pennhip hips and elbows to check them for dysplasia.

CAER exam with a canine opthalmologist to check for eye diseases

Full DNA panel through Pawprints, Canine health check or Embark

supplemental DNA for CDDY/IVDD

Neuroaxonal Disease and Non- HSF4 cataract testing thru Perdue University

We would love to see our Miniature American shepherds go on to finish titles in various events that will showcase their intelligence and their beauty. It is important to us to provide you with a well-balanced dog that will make not only a great family pet, but a great competitor in the ring, if you love to show your dogs. We show our mini American shepherds to prove they are quality dogs who conform to the standard for structure and movement as well as intelligence. We show our dogs in conformation for their championships, obedience, rally, nosework, fastcat, trick dog, and do canine good citizen testing. You will find many letters before and after our dogs official registered name. Those are the titles they have earned, some harder than others to attain. Many dogs we have bred are doing all the things we do as well as barn hunt, agility and herding. The Australian shepherds was developed to be an all-around versatile breed, the mini Aussie should be the same in a smaller package.

Our miniature American shepherds command attention wherever we go in public. People remark on how beautiful they are and see them perform and are astonished how smart they are. We want these traits passed on to the miniature American shepherd puppies for their new homes as well. At most shows you will find my dogs hanging out with me in the crowd answering questions about the breed and the individual dogs. If my handlers have the dogs at a show they will likely defer you to speak to me, but usually will let you pet and love on them. Some of our dogs love more attention then any one person can possibly give in a day!
