Meet the breeder

I'm RACHEL H., the breeder behind Magnolia Tree Miniature American Shepherds located in Douglass Ks, KS. We are a small breeding program that focuses on improving the breed by focusing on temperament first, structure, and outstanding breed type. My goal is to place puppies in loving homes where they will spend their whole life.

Q. & A. with RACHEL

Why did you start breeding?
I started in dogs by assisting my 4H project leader with her collie breeding program by training, raising and showing her dogs alone side of her. Over the years I have had several show dogs that were unable to be bred for various reasons or I simply wasn't in position to do so. In the last several years I have finally gotten a quality brood bitch that was proven in the show ring, sports and at home just have the best temperament!
What makes your program special?
My dogs are all around dogs focusing on temperament first, but also keeping a high standard for quality of breed type, health and structure.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black tri and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.

Parent dogs

Loui, mom
Miniature American Shepherd
About Loui
Loui is highly driven while still being very biddable. She has a beautiful off switch. She warms up to strangers quickly. Her coat is very low maintenance aside from blowing twice a year. She is very tolerant of grooming and has always just got into our life whether that's climbing mountains, paddle boarding on lakes or rivers, doing dog sports or conformation. We got Loui after our Papillon passed away. My husband wanted another dog to be his adventure buddy. Loui became available and we snapped her up! She has succeeded at everything we have asked if her. She has been highly successful in her short career as a show dog, she is a awesome at dock diving, frisbee, fetch and rally. She can hike all day up a mountain or ride on your paddle board. Loui is ready for anything. But she can still have a day to relax by the fire or watch a movie.
