🌴Cedar Valley Ranch🌴 Mini American Shepherds🌴

A Little about us and Mini American Shepherds

We have been raising Mini Aussies since 1996. They are now known as Mini American Shepherds recognized by AKC and part of the herding group. The females are typically between 13-17”at the shoulder and males are between 14 - 18”. On occasion we have one that is below or above the preferred size range. We cannot guarantee size although we do our best to breed within the breed standard. They are a herding breed so need to be kept busy so they don’t get in trouble. Most of mine are on the mellower side. They are extremely smart! They are still used today for herding! But also excel in obedience and agility and most anything you can think of to use them for. Because of their size they are extremely popular as traveling companions, and they are as at home on the ranch as well as they are in the city. They are quite popular both in the USA and abroad. A very unique breed with no two marked exactly alike. They come very unique colors from red and blue merles to red and black tris. And any combination of eye color! We breed for the absolute best pet we can, wanting the healthiest most beautiful pet with the best temperaments we can breed. Our dogs are guaranteed for 3 years for any genetic or congenital defect and we do a lot of genetic testing, our dogs are tested for PRA,MDR1,HC,DM and CEA. They also have their hips done, OFA’d and eyes cerfed before breeding.

We vaccinate our babies with 2 neo par shots and a da2pp before they go home, they also will have been wormed and been to the doggy ophthalmologist for an eye check up before going to their new homes at 8 weeks. They also are used to having a litter pan and or potty pads. We try to do as much as we can to make the switch from our home to yours an easy one.

We do a lot of socializing with our babies and that is VERY important with this breed. They see new people and animals all the time. They will have had a ride in the car also, and will have been on many kinds of different surfaces such as tiles carpet dirt grass cement.

if you have any questions now or ever please don’t hesitate to ask, our babies come with lifelong support!!!
