Meet the breeder
I'm Kelli R., the breeder behind Lone Pine Miniature American Shepherds located in Kalama, WA. I focus on breeding dogs with exceptional temperaments, intelligence, and versatility. My dogs excel in conformation, performance events, and companionship while also being beautiful. Each one is fully health tested to ensure a strong foundation for a happy, healthy life.
Q. & A. with Kelli
Why did you start breeding?
For several years we owned a saddle shop, where I had the opportunity to meet incredible people who introduced me to the world of breeding and showing dogs. With a lifetime of experience raising, training, and showing horses, the transition came naturally. In 2011, we moved to Washington and established a dog boarding business. We offer daycare, boarding, grooming, also raising a few litters.What makes your program special?
I prioritize exceptional temperaments in my dogs, seeking versatility in every aspect. I want intelligent, problem-solving dogs that excel in herding, performance events, and companionship—all while being visually striking. My dogs embody all of these qualities and more. Every dog in my program is fully health tested to ensure the best foundation for a long, healthy life.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red & white, red tri-color, black & white, 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 and a kennel on my property.

Parent dogs
Indy, mom
Miniature American Shepherd
About Indy
Indy is my special girl, always near by incase I need anything. Think of classic Velcro type dog. Her idea of "incase I need anything" is I need to give her pets and treats... She always lets me know when the neighbors goats, ducks or geese come over for the "grass is always greener" policy. She's a versatile dog, we are even going to try the Rally ring next year. Her puppies are going to be fabulous and I can't wait to meet them.
Great health testing
Patellar Luxation, Collie Eye Anomaly (CEA), +8 more.

About Remi
Remi is super sweet, typical "Aussie temperament" when meeting new people, otherwise she is bold and outgoing. She's not very big at 14"just the right amount of energy with equal amounts of toy drive. She likes to bug her big sister though.
Great health testing
Patellar Luxation, Neuroaxonal Dystrophy NAD, +6 more.
