We can not guarantee eye color. Our past litters have ranged from 4-9 puppies.

At this time we are not offer for puppies to return for pet sitting. If you need additional time to pickup your puppy the first four days is free after eight weeks, than there is a $10 care fee for each additional day. We have heard good things about rover.com if you are needing pet sitting after this.
6. When will you have puppies available? Do you have a waiting list?
Generally when we do have puppies they are sold pretty fast after birth. We do have a waiting list of people we will notify first from top to bottom before making them available to the public. Please also see our planned litters page. **If we are holding a litter for elevation we will accept deposits for up to the amount of puppies. Starting around the age of four to five weeks we will post availability on their description. Picking order will go in the order of deposits received. Anyone who does not get a puppy from the litter will have the option to transfer their deposits to the next litter. Deposits are nonrefundable.

Depending on who the parents are our puppies generally mature around 14-18” tall at the withers. Miniature American Shepherds are not measured by weight. They can have narrower or stockier body types depending on the dog and vary between 20-40lbs. We cannot guarantee size of our puppies but can offer an educated guess and the sizes of the parents and grandparents.
8. Having a dog no longer works for me, can you take him back?
While we do want to ensure our dogs are being homed into lifetime families we do realize life happens and sometimes you will be unable to keep your beloved dog. Yes, we do take our dogs back and rehome into good homes. PLEASE if you cannot keep your dog contact me before rehoming. We do not want anyone ending up in a shelter or bad situation! We will work with you to make you both comfortable. This is written into the contract.
9. How are the temperaments of the parents?
Each dog is different in their individual personality but I strive for each of my dogs to be socialized, obedience trained and good inside our home. They are all loving and aim to please. Because I do not use my dogs for herding and they are house pets their energy levels are matched to this. In my lines I look to have low/medium energy. They enjoy playing and running around outside but will also lay around the house and have lazy days.
10. Do your puppies come potty trained?
While we can’t guarantee they will be perfect with the new environment we have had a lot of luck getting our puppies trained before leaving at eight weeks. They get let out multiple times a day and have puppy pads for when they can no longer hold themselves if we don’t let them outside in time.
11. What do you feed your dogs?
We have been trying new foods lately. Recently we began trying Victor Classic High-Pro to our adults and to the babies. We also feed Nuvet Plus on top of their food daily. For an easier transition we will be sending each puppy with a supply of food. You can mix this with your new food to help their tummy. For more information visit the bottom of our shopping list page.
12. We would love a puppy but live out of state. Do you ship?
Yes we do ship. Most of the time the cost for this is around $400-500. We really prefer to not ship our puppies so we can meet the new owners of our puppies.

Also visit our transport page for more information.
