VERSATILE MINIATURE AUSTRALIAN SHEPHERDS
Breeding for Health, Temperament, Type and Structure
SINCE 1999
Why I am no longer a MASCA Blue Ribbon Breeder:
I am no longer a blue ribbon breeder as I accidently let my listing lapse--I
went to fill out a new Blue Ribbon Breeder Directory Form and found that in order to maintain Blue Ribbon Breeder status,
I must actively breed a litter at least once every 3 years. I feel that for me, my dogs, my breeding program and my long term
goals, that this impractical and IMO unethical. I signed a Code of Ethics in 1999 which stated that I will breed to:
1. Improve the Breed
1. A breeder should plan each breeding with the paramount intention of improving
the Miniature Australian Shepherd
and the current code of ethics states that breeders should
B) To oppose the influence by any organizations, registries, or persons whose beliefs and/or
actions might result in practices considered detrimental to the Australian Shepherd of the miniature variety.
I do not do OFA "Prelim",
in order to breed immature dogs
early and I do not breed dogs that are not pointed as adults (even though most are finished Champions under 12 mos), and I WILL
NOT breed a litter of puppies every at least once every 3-years to meet the requirements for a directory listing.
If you would like to discuss the issue further-- please feel free to call me.

CAREFULLY UNPLANNED EVENT

MINIATURE AUSTRALIAN SHEPHERDS
OUR VISION
I believe in the "true" Aussie--in a smaller package; a versatile dog with the brains and beauty to compete in all venues...natural
instinct that is easy to live with, physically and mentally sound, with an excellent temperament, loyal protectors and valuable
family companions.
First and formost my dogs are our family pets, they just happen to be pets that excel. Puppies are raised
in my home, under foot, with grandkids, kids and assorted other family pets.

Rehoming:
No reputable breeder places a puppy or dog with the idea
that it may need to be re-homed in the future, but it does happen. Death, divorce, and other life changes sometimes
make it impossible to keep their pet. On an individual basis listed on my available page I will include those looking
for just the right forever home, and the information needed to help families decide if the dog would be a good fit for their
family.
More Information
Although I currently do not have any available dogs or pups, please continue to check back
as I do help other breeders in the case of a dog that may have been returned or taken back.
