Meet the breeder
I'm Tori L., the breeder behind LF Ranch located in Franklin, KY. The loyalty and loving disposition of this breed are simply the best! We put a great deal of effort into raising our litters to ensure our puppy families will have the best experience raising their new family members.
Q. & A. with Tori
Why did you start breeding?
When I was younger I showed agility with my Miniature poodle, Paris. I also showed a little conformation with Paris and American Hairless Terriers. My mom has been breeding for over 20 years (Rat Terriers and American Hairless Terriers). I decided to follow the breeding pathway because of my love of genetics and improving and preserving breeds.What makes your program special?
I strive to produce versatile Miniature American Shepherds that are conformationally correct, capable of performing their job and have excellent temperaments. My goal is to have a dog that can easily thrive as both a performance dog and a family companion. My puppies have a unique opportunity to be raised using a mixture of puppy culture and exposure of everyday farm life.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red tri-color, black tri, red merle, and blue merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
