I'm Cassi A., the breeder behind Salish Sport Dogs located in Skagit County, WA. We offer quality-bred sport dogs.

Our ultimate goal is to produce athletic and well-structured canines that can excel within various performance venues and have the ability to be wonderful family companions.
Q. & A. with Cassi
Why did you start breeding?
We love the Miniature American Shepherd breed. Our dogs have brought us so much joy and happiness that we wanted to give back to them by producing the highest quality puppies and providing them a wonderful life with wonderful families. We want nothing more than to see each of our dogs and puppies shine; it is because of this that we reserve the right to choose which families are best suited for each puppy.What makes your program special?
At Salish, we produce excellent sport dogs. We understand the importance of dog health, temperament, and structure, and every breeding decision is made accordingly. We are also constantly improving our breeding program and work closely within the Miniature American Shepherd community to do so. It would be our pleasure to introduce your family to your next sport dog!Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
