About Yogurt
This girl is the quintessential example of the breed. Weighing in at 20 lbs, she is beautiful, smart, agile, tough, yet sweet with fabulous conformation. I’m so excited about her litters. I broke the mold on this girl.
Peanut, mom
Miniature American Shepherd
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.

Kelly has been great. She shared pics and videos of our pup, Rosie (Roulette on her site). Kelly even let us visit when Rosie was just a couple weeks old. It was very cool to meet her and the pup while we were waiting things to be ready. We even got to meet Rosie’s parents … Peanut and Luke. When we picked her up Kelly had a complete folder with all pertinent info… vets records… registration forms…. Documentation of food, etc. all there and very helpful. Bottom line is we love Rosie like crazy … and Kelly made us feel part of the family while we were waiting the 8-9 weeks from her birth til when we picked her up and brought her home. The transaction and experience has been a “10”
