Meet the breeder
I'm Kiana B., the breeder behind Shamayim Shepherds located in Olympia, WA. The name “Shamayim” (שָׁמַיִם) is a Hebrew word meaning “heavens” or “sky,” and it reflects the heart and purpose behind our breeding program. At Shamayim Shepherds, we believe that these incredible dogs are truly a gift from above — bringing joy, devotion, and companionship to our lives every single day. Just like the boundless skies, our passion for Miniature American Shepherds knows no limits. Our goal is to breed sound, beautiful dogs that excel both in the show ring and as cherished family companions. Our dogs are loved like family and nurtured with devotion, celebrating their lineage and striving for the highest quality. Each puppy raised is a reflection of the spirit which ‘Shamayim,’ represents- reaching toward a future as bright as the heavens above.. We invite you to explore our site and get to know more about our program, our dogs, and the values that inspire us. Thank you for visiting Shamayim Shepherds!
Q. & A. with Kiana
What makes your program special?
My breeding program is small and unique- I spend all of my time with my dogs and they are all well adjusted to a family atmosphere. The puppies are born and raised in my bedroom, so I am always close by to keep a caring watch over them. They are all socialized with children from day one, and we have an array of other animals on our farm, which makes them the perfect family and farm dogs!What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black & white, black tri, and blue merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Litter update on 08 Oct. •…✨ Gandalf ✨ Our most easygoing boy! 💙 Nothing ever seems to ruffle this sweet soul!! he’s happy to just go with the flow, take in the world around him, and be near his people. Whether it’s romping around the farm, hanging out quietly while we do chores, or curling up for a snuggle, Gandalf is always calm, gentle, and content. 🥰 He’s that puppy who makes everything feel peaceful — the kind of companion that brings balance and joy wherever he goes. 🌿💫

Litter update on 04 Oct. •…We held back two puppies for our program, and after much thought, we’ve officially made our pick. ✨ That means our handsome boy Aragorn is now available to a new family! This decision is truly no fault of his own - this boy is my first pick puppy, but my program needs a girl. He’s an absolute stunner with striking looks and a confident, bold demeanor. Aragorn is full of personality and sure to captivate attention wherever he goes. 💙 He’d make an excellent hiking buddy for an active home, always ready for adventure and full of confidence. If you’re looking for a puppy with beauty, brains, and plenty of spirit, Aragorn may be your perfect match! 🐾

Litter update on 02 Oct. •…Bilbo & Gandalf spend their days romping through the orchard like it’s their own secret kingdom — racing between apple trees, tumbling in the clover, and filling the farm with laughter. 🍎🐾 They’ve soaked up sunshine, autumn breezes, and all the love our little farm can offer… now they’re ready to share that joy with their forever families. Could one of these adventurous boys be yours? 🌾✨

Litter update on 28 Sept. •…✨ Important Update on Meet & Greets & Puppy Availability ✨ Due to my full schedule and a deep commitment to prioritizing the well being of our puppies, I will no longer be offering in person meet & greets to non clients. If you’re still unsure about bringing a puppy home, I’m more than happy to connect via phone or Zoom to answer all of your questions beforehand. This helps ensure the puppies are not exposed to unnecessary germs or stress, and allows me to protect valuable time for my own family and the daily care of our dogs. Thank you so much for understanding and respecting this boundary! 💞 🐾 Current Availability We now have only two puppies still available for consideration: Bilbo & Gandalf, and they are so eager to meet their forever families! They’re both little charmers! Please note: while they are still being offered at a discounted rate, the previous steep discounts have now concluded, as I am investing extra time into their training and grooming to ensure they are well prepared for their new homes! See website for current pricing. If you’d like to schedule a call or learn more about Bilbo or Gandalf, just reach out, I’d love to chat! 🐶💫
