Absolutely PRECIOUS red Merle boy! He is tracking to stay on the smaller side, 20-25 pounds. He is very sweet and loves to be coddled. He was born with a naturally bobbed tail 🥰

Interesting summer surrounding these gorgeous babes.

We were supposed to take the end of the summer “off” which is hard to do when you’ve got animals and live in the boonies! I hadn’t planned any breedings past Flush’s so that we could take some vacay, but the co-owner begged me to breed her girl so that she could have the litter. Sounds good, let’s do it.

Their sweet Mama was due to whelp in her co-own home July 6…and she was returned to me July 3. As frustrating as it was to have our summer plans messed up, OF COURSE I took her back. She had these gorgeous little loves on the 4th of July!

I will be uploading their photos and getting back to the few who have inquired about them 🥰 website will be updated as soon as I’ve reached out to the waitlist.

I couldn’t resist sharing this handsome guy here!

Another week starts of sweet Henry looking for his family ❤️ he is the most darling boy! He is super laid back, loves to play while still having a fantastic off-switch. We adore him! He’s got beautiful Aussie type, he’s massive b***d with a beautiful head. His personality is even prettier than his appearance!

Caster 💙 this handsome boy is now looking!

Caster is a sweet, happy, medium drive boy. He is incredibly easy to live with - litter box trained, mostly potty trained, and started in the crate.

I originally planned for him to stay here, but since Twister’s show home backed out I think that he will be staying instead.

Caster is av to the perfect pet home, but I would also love to see him in a co-own show home! He is completely clear by parentage genetically, has both of his “marbles”, and a good bite. He has a really fun personality, loves to snuggle, loves to play, and has an awesome off switch. This boy is SO smart!

Born March 2026 / ready when you are 🥰

This is a great read!

Small in stature, but with a history all its own. 🐾

Before becoming the Miniature American Shepherd we know today, the breed went by several names, and its journey to AKC recognition came with carefully defined goals, standards, and plenty of history.

📖 Discover the story behind the breed in *“Miniature American Shepherd: Backstory of the Breed”* by Karen Keller-Ross.
