Hello! I am Katie, thank you for taking the time to get to know me and my story! Fawn C is located in Eugene. This is where I grew up with my family of six. My dad and mom are entrepreneurs and this way of life has been important for my three siblings and I. Each of us have our own passions and goals we have pursued. While my mom and dad had no interest in animals, somehow animals grew to be my passion. From the time I was 5 or 6 I've had a large variety of animals. Bunnies, parakeets, rabbits, goats, horses and of course dogs. In 2012 I got my first Miniature Australian Shepherd, now known as Miniature American Shepherds in AKC. I've raised prize winning rabbits and showed them nationally but sold out of them in 2016 to focus on my dogs. Raising any type of quality animal and puppies takes perseverance, strength and time. You must be able to get through the hardship of losses, sleepless nights and have a heart for cleaning, lotsss of cleaning. Going though this is worth every moment when the joy of my puppy families is spread and I see their smiles. In May of 2019 I became happily married to a amazing man, Aaron, I had known for a few years at that time. Between my dogs, amazing husband and beautiful baby girl my heart couldn't be more full. It is very important to me that what puppies I produce are healthy, have a well balanced mind are socialized. While there are things that are out of my control I do whatever I can that will put your puppy in means for a healthy life. There is no reason you as the owner should have to go through hardship when it can be prevented. Our dogs are inside dogs, they are loved and cherished. They each receive a part of my heart and I hold them very closely. When you bring one of my puppies or dogs into your home you become a part of my puppy family. I am here to support you and answer any questions you have to the best of my ability.

You mentioned raising rabbits, what breeds were they?
Over the years I had a few different breeds. This included English Lops, Mini Rex, Californians and Mini Lops. My main focus for the last few years of competing was Mini Lops and Californians.
Outside of dogs, what do you do for work?
The dogs are my full time. My life is full between our baby girl Allison and caring for my dogs. I would LOVE to become a cake baker or run a dog boarding business. I do sometimes make websites for other businesses, housesitting/petsitting services for my local friends and promote local businesses.
How did you decide to breed Miniature American Shepherds?
Since I sort of made myself a farm lifestyle, riding my mustang through crazy trails, raising goats and rabbits. I really wanted some sort of farm type dog to adventure with me. The first time I saw an Australian Shepherd I fell in LOVE with the intelligence of the breed but didn't want a dog that large. After some research I found there are minis! The way MAS want to be with their owners, have a smart mind, can be snuggle buds but are playful they really just fit into my lifestyle. Breeding is hard, there is a lot of tears and smiles throughout this beautiful venture but promoting this amazing breed is something I want to be a part of.
