Miniature American Shepherds at 3M Southwind

Leann F.

Breeder of Miniature American Shepherds

Meet the breeder

I'm Leann F., the breeder behind Miniature American Shepherds at 3M Southwind located in Chanute, KS. We are a small breeder who believe that It’s important to continually improve our program and produce puppies that make lifelong family members. Genetic testing, temperament testing and matching puppies to their families is important to us!

Q. & A. with Leann

  • What makes your program special?

    As a veterinarian, I see too many Aussies come into the clinic with behavioral problems and I think most of these develop at an early age. I like to discuss socialization and engaging play and exercise with prospective owners.
  • 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 and a kennel on my property.

  • Cardiac Evaluation (rDVM, not registered with OFA)

    Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.

  • DNA Disease Panel, Multiple Drug Sensitivity (MDR1), PRA, Rod-Cone Degeneration (PRA-prcd), Hereditary (Juvenile) Cataracts (HC; JC)

Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
