Meet the breeder

Q. & A. with Mary
Why did you start breeding?
I started about four years ago doing research, taking classes and talking with other breeders. I found the ways I feel that we can do better and then I carefully purchased my first breeding pair to put the things I had learned into practice. I love my dogs, I believe in the quality of my dogs and I put them first. I believe with my program we can start a change toward more ethical practice.What makes your program special?
We focus on socialization and early exposure to give our puppies the best chance for confidently taking on the world when they join their new families. We have a lifetime commitment to our dogs and owners. I believe that if I choose to bring these dogs into the world then I need to be prepared to care for them if their families cannot. Accordingly we do our best to carefully place each puppy wellWhat are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black tri, red tri-color, red merle, and blue merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Cali, mom
Miniature American Shepherd
About Cali
Darling Calli comes to us from JKKJ farms. She is petite and sweet with a very calming presence. This silly girl is naturally nurturing; she just loves being with my kids! We are so grateful to have her. When our first mama, Pheobe, needed to be unexpectedly retired, we embarked on a near impossible task: find a truly incredible mature female to continue on our program. We are thrilled to announce, that after months of research, cold calling, and countless emails, we found this wonderful girl!

Miniature American Shepherd
About Archi
Archi should have been named "Buddy." He is the epitome of man's best friend. They say no dog is perfect but honestly I've never met a dog so immediately and universally adored as this boy. He loves to learn and lives to please. Just a happy, bouncing boy who brightens our days. We are so lucky to have him.

About Pheobe
Pheobe comes from Panhandle Aussies where they specialize in excellent temperament. Pheobe is a credit to her genetics. She was an astonishingly easy puppy. She is friendly, tolerant, kind and gentle. She is also very playful and silly. We love her darling way of expressing herself.
