Breeder of Miniature American Shepherds and Miniature Australian Shepherds

  • Stockton, MO

Meet the breeder

I'm Anne M., the breeder behind Kizmit Farmz located in Stockton, MO. At Kizmit Farmz, we love everything about Miniature American/Miniature Australian Shepherds! It is this love and passion for the breed that first inspired us to contribute to and improve the breed through thoughtful and intentional breeding practices. We are state registered hobby and show breeders focusing on superior health, temperament and confirmation in our puppies. We achieve these goals by genetically testing our dogs to ensure strong genetic lines free of common breed ailments in both parents prior to breeding. Next, we make sure our dog's temperaments are well-suited to family life and to one another, ensuring you an even-tempered partner-in-crime. Last, but not least, we actively participate in AKC confirmation & rally shows (Miniature American Shepherd) and ASDR confirmation & rally shows (Miniature Australian Shepherd). A side note on the breed title - they are the same dog, they just have a different title depending upon their registry, in our case Miniature American Shepherds through AKC and Miniature Australian Shepherds through ASDR. If you'd like to learn more about any of our parents, their puppies, or our program feel free to reach out anytime, you know we love talking Mini's!

Q. & A. with Anne

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We began breeding after falling head over heals in love with our first MAS! Once we realized how amazing this breed is, we knew we without a doubt that we wanted to help this breed grow through careful and thoughtful breeding practices. To give you an idea of what this looks like for us, each of our dogs are an active and integral part of our family which spans from competing together in the show ring to just hanging out watching TV together. When it comes to our puppies, each litter is hand delivered in my bedroom, where I carefully watch over the litter and their mom for the first few weeks of life. Once our pups transition from new born puppies, to toddler puppies they move to the main part of our house where they have a dedicated puppy room with access to an outdoor play yard via a doggy door. They also explore the main part of our home where they are pre-loved by our kids and harassed by our cat. We feel this lifestyle lets our puppies have a safe home environment where they are exposed to all the normal sounds and activities of a busy household, which will make their transition home to you as smooth as possible.

  • What makes your program special?

    Let me start by saying our dogs are spoiled family members who take center stage in our lives! We place the highest priority on their physical and emotional health. We conduct DNA testing prior to breeding, we feed Hill's Science Diet along with quality vitamins and probiotics, and we engage in age appropriate mental & physical stimulation and ongoing training all to help ensure we are producing the healthiest, happiest puppies around! We truly love what we do!

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our Miniature American Shepherd puppies include red & white, black & white, red tri-color, black tri, black, red merle, blue merle, and red. Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies include blue merle, black tri, red tri, red merle, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Anne is such a pleasure to work with. When I lost my pup's shots records I called her. She was so willing to help and was able to send the information to my vet in a timely manner. I got a great dog and had a good experience all around.

    I had an absolutely wonderful experience getting our miniature Australian Shepherd, Ruger, from Anne at Kizmit Farmz on June 28th. Anne was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Her responsiveness and flexibility made the entire process smooth and stress-free. We arrived an hour early for our meet-up, and Anne and her family graciously adjusted their schedule to accommodate us without hesitation.Ruger has been an incredible addition to our family! He’s super smart, incredibly fast, and full of personality. We’re completely smitten with him, and even our older Australian Shepherd is starting to warm up to him (which is saying something!). I highly recommend Anne and Kizmit Farmz to anyone looking for a healthy, happy pup and a breeder who truly cares. Thank you, Anne, for our amazing Ruger!

    Anne was amazing to work with and was ready to answer all questions I had! She was very professional and responsive and is just an all around kind person. We’ve had our puppy Archer for a week and half and he is already potty trained, crate trained, knows how to sit, shake and spin! Anne has proved to raise both beautiful and smart dogs and I would wholeheartedly recommend working with her!

    Anne was responsive, helpful and so very pleasant to work with in bringing home my fur baby. She made sure to follow up with us after we brought him home. He came to us at 10 weeks which made a huge difference in the transition from his liter to us and it could not have been easier. You can tell she put so much love and care into this sweet little dog before he came to us. We could not have been more pleased with the experience!

    First off i would like to say im a 18 year old graduate and i was looking for a friend to start my journey with. Anne made it really easy to pick out my new furry friends bo! The whole experience was great! I met bo when i went to go pick him up and the process was super super easy. Anne kept me updated on him and still will help out if i need help. This is the first dog i bought by myself and i was lucky to be able to work with Anne for this experience.

    Anne with Kizmit Farmz has truly been the best experience I've ever had with a breeder. She is knowledgeable, friendly and very responsive to any questions we had and helped us determine the right fit for our family. We brought our pup home 2 months ago and could not be happier with her disposition, health and overall quality. I can say without a doubt, Anne's puppies are bread for more than just "looks", but also for excellent quality in temperament. Thank you Anne!
