I'm Shane D., the breeder behind War Eagle Kennel located in Ontario, OR. We have been breeding dogs for decades, starting with working stock dogs on our dairy/farm. After selling the dairy we continued to provide healthy & true to breed pups in small quantities to loving homes that vary from city to farm life and everything in between. We take a lot of pride in our work!

Our Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

Our Miniature Australian Shepherd puppies include red & white, black & white, blue merle, black tri, red tri, red, and black. Miniature American Shepherd puppies include red tri-color, black & white, black tri, black, red merle, blue merle, and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
