Parent dogs
Poppy, mom
Miniature American Shepherd
About Poppy
Poppy, is by a Canadian show dog from a well-known international kennel. Her mother, was an Award of Merit winner at Westminster, as well as lots of other accolades. She was in the top five for the breed, and in addition to competing in the adult division, earned a second entry to Westminster one year with a junior kid. He ended that year as the top junior in the breed, and she retired to live with him. He was still showing her as a healthy senior when she retired. She also has done many performance events. Poppy is a half inch too tall to show conformation, so she’s focused on performance events. She lives on a farm with horses, cattle, poultry and loves meeting new people and going places. Poppy has a full breed panel DNA test, NAD test, OFA hips, elbows and eyes.
