We’re expecting a few sport dogs, a few weekend warriors, and a few more traditionally aloof dogs. As they age we will be sharing more on each specific puppy and what kind of home each puppy will do best in!
Both Sig and Bougie absolutely love to play frisbee, love showing off, and love to hike off leash in the North Idaho wilderness. Sig is social, stable, very predictable, and easy to handle. His food drive is medium/low, bananas for a frisbee, and his personality is very much a “bro dog”. He just goes along with the flow and is just wants to be part of your day. Sig loves to swim, and loves to go fly fishing with his papa. Bougie is Susies nickname, and it’s because she is BOUGIE. She is the cleanest dog I’ve ever met, and she keeps her puppies smelling like dryer sheets somewhere I swear. She has high food drive, loves learning tricks, and loves frisbee. She LOVES to swim. She is aloof with strangers, and is full on obsessed with her people. She ignores strangers in public and off leash hiking. Both dogs are not reactive. Both are active dogs with nice off switches and good in the house, crate, yard, etc. Mini American Shepherd puppies are active, and smart and need kind but firm guidance to be super successful long term. They are not couch potatoes and they are not backyard dogs, they want to be with their people and doing fun things together. Feel free to reach out for more information!

If you are local we will have a weekly puppy group class, and if you are not local we will have a weekly Zoom group class. This is included in your puppy price.
Health testing is important and we have gone above and beyond with this litter. Both sire and dam have their OFA CHIC certificates that you can verify independently on the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals website.

They have had hips, elbows, eye exams by a ophthalmologis, and full DNA testing completed. They are both clear on all breed related genetic diseases, including: NAD, CDDY, cmr1, collie eye anomaly, CMO, day blindness, DM, hereditary cataracts, junctional epidermolysis bullosa, MDR1, NCL 6, NCL 8, and hereditary ataxia.
This extensive testing helps to ensure we give our puppies the best head start in life.
All of our adult dogs live in our homes, have multiple AKC titles, and we continue to work on adding more! They lead active lives as valued members of our family, and we raise our puppies to be the same and are here to help you and your puppy succeed.
All puppies will be sold on limited AKC registration (no breeding rights), and can start going home at 8 weeks old (May 4, 2024). Puppies are $2,500, with a deposit of $300 due to be on our list. Prices will go up with training after the age of 8 weeks old. Puppies will receive age appropriate vaccines, beginning at 6 weeks of age including DHLPP to begin. They will have multiple dewormings, and multiple fecal tests before going to their forever homes.
All puppies will be available for pickup at our home in North Idaho. Ground transport is available at the end of May anywhere between North Idaho to California, and North Idaho to Wyoming/Denver, CO area. This transport cost will be very affordable. Otherwise, there are flight nannies, and other ways to get your puppy to you safely that I recommend. Transport is an additional cost that goes directly to them.
Do you need a little help with your young puppy? I can give your puppy a solid jump start on potty training, crate training, basic leash manners, and house manners. This is great option for people ready for a new addition but don’t have the time or energy to deal with a young puppy. Pricing for this option begins at $1,500/month.
