Q. & A. with Caitlin
Why did you start breeding?
I started breeding Australian shepherds and moved to the mini American shepherds due to their versatility in a smaller stature. I have been focusing on getting into the show world and the confirmation of my dogs to follow the AKC standard in order to better the breed.What makes your program special?
I focus on low to medium drive dogs to better fit the modern family while still retaining the qualities of what the breed was bred from and for. I want to better the breed and further contribute to the breed. I have close ties to my local rescues, community, and shelters so that I can both better the breed I focus on, but also the owners that take any pet home.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black tri, red tri-color, red merle, and blue merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.

Litter and program updates
Caitlin W.
Program update on 09 Dec. •…We have two planned litters for next year. One will be a repeat litter so they will be full siblings to those pictured above. The other litter will be with our very promising show dog who is an older sibling to our last litter. We are anticipating the day she obtains her championship in confirmation! Both litters have a wait list that has already started a queue. We love getting to know our future puppy owners and are happy to discuss with all interested parties about our program.

We are so happy we found Catlin thru the Good Dog web site. My wife and I are retired and our yellow lab of almost 14 years recently passed. My daughter said we should get another puppy right away and after serching the good dog web site we fell in love with Catlins litter of minature american shepards. Catin and her assistant, Tia, respond immediately to all my concerns . Our new family member, Bailey, was beautifully socialized prior to recieving her. ( we live in Wellington ,FL. and Tia met us half way in Jacksonville). Catlin has sent me all the Dam and Sire AKC data and health records. We are very impressed by their continued intrest in Bailey's progress. Azure is a wonderful breeder. Regards

+7I never leave reviews, but my experience with Caitlin was so amazing that I had to. Getting our Mini American Shepherd, Roman, from her was genuinely wonderful. From the very beginning, she was easy to talk to, incredibly knowledgeable, and always quick to respond. She kept us updated with so many pictures and videos that we felt connected to Roman way before we met him. We drove all the way from Massachusetts, and Caitlin offered to meet us partway to make things easier. That is something we appreciated more than she probably knows. When we finally got Roman, it was obvious how loved and cared for he’d been. He came home healthy, well socialized, and full of confidence, exactly what you'd hope for. And on top of that, he’s the sweetest boy... clumsy, playful, and a huge cuddle bug. What meant the most is that even after we brought him home, Caitlin has stayed in touch and continues to check in. That kind of kindness and dedication is rare, and it really shows how much she cares about her puppies and the families they go to. I would recommend her in a heartbeat! When Roman is ready for a little friend, I hope we get to meet again because I won’t trust anyone else the way I trust her.
