About Peanut
If ever I wanted a dog with all the pieces, it’s her, Peanut has been the friendliest dog with a love for people. She’s a tiny little pistol and has lots of working- play drive but good in the house too. She is great in public or on mountain trails, off leash, and on leash. She’s fearless and confident with excellent conformation. She falls about 15 inches at the shoulder and 28lbs. Testing results posted soon.

Miniature American Shepherd
About Luke
I acquired him from a well known breeder who was retiring due to declining health. I’m so blessed as he’s a fantastic- sweet, quiet, and a good natured male around other male dogs, not to mention STUNNING with correct type. He’s the whole package.
