Meet the breeder
I'm Milinda R., the breeder behind Sherwood Miniature American Shepherds located in Rensselaer, IN. We focus on carefully planned breeding so that we can produce quality puppies that are excellent representations of the standard. Our goal is to produce puppies that are capable of participating in sports and conformation, but that are also happy to be companionable, entertaining house dogs that enjoy quieter moments as well. We want our pups to be adaptable and thrive with their families wherever they are.
