Stevie has a spring to her that makes her seem to defy gravity. She somehow manages to meet me at eye level when I least expect it, multiple times a day. Parkour is a close second to her favorite activity in the world: scent work! She’s endlessly curious and deeply loyal, always busy and always entertaining. Even with all that energy, Stevie is incredibly social and sweet. She’s up for anything as long as it’s means she gets to be close to her people - car rides, adventures, or a quiet cuddle session with the softest little hugs. She’s full of life and pure happiness and is truly a party girl.

Cera is a dual registered Mini Aussie and Mini American Shepherd with a calm, thoughtful way about her. She’s smart and incredibly sweet, with an easygoing personality that makes her an easy, happy presence. She’s a soft, cuddly, and always considerate friend. Her bond with her bestie Vienna is something special. Cera’s usually quiet and well-mannered, never pushy for attention but always nearby with gentle eyes and a little lean in for love. She’s never destructive, though every now and then, a sock might disappear to her bed for a snuggle. She’s also our little alert dog, quick to let us know when someone’s at the door, but all tail wags once she knows they’re welcome. She tends to take new things in slowly, but with a little reassurance, she warms right up. With her natural willingness to please and strong food drive, Cera is a breeze to train and a steady, loyal companion.

Meet Echo! She’s the embodiment of sweetness and affection. Echo loves to be close to her people and brings such a fun, silly energy to the day, all while staying gentle and thoughtful. She’s known for her expressive little barks that sound like she’s really trying to have a conversation, and sometimes, it feels like she is. In our program, Echo brings so much to the table, from her lovely temperament to her structure and genetic diversity. She does have a bit of a stubborn streak and has been known to roll over and pretend she doesn’t hear or see me when it’s bedtime, hoping to negotiate for a treat before heading to her crate. I always cave, because she deserves all the cookies. Echo’s playful antics and lovable nature have made her such a special part of our family.

Vienna is a true love bug who lives for affection. She’s all sugar and warmth with everyone she meets, but don’t let her soft side fool you! She’s got a little spice mixed in there, too. This tiny girl holds her own with the bigger and/or more mischievous members of the pack and handles it all with confidence. Her favorite place is tucked into your arms, happily handing out snuggles to anyone lucky enough to be nearby. Vienna has lovely manners and an easygoing nature that makes her such a joy to have around.

Shampoo is our little spitfire. This pint sized powerhouse is dual registered as a toy Aussie and Mini American shepherd. She has been my youngest child's agility buddy and my middle child’s constant sidekick. While they haven't yet ventured into competitive arenas, Shampoo's remarkable ability to work with a young child speaks volumes about her adaptability and eagerness to learn. With the fastest recall of all our dogs, she's a standout in both speed and intelligence. Though Shampoo may be tiny, she commands respect within our fur family, holding her ground among dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Shampoo is a special girl in our program, carrying the legacy of Nyomi — our very first Mini American Shepherd and the foundation of where it all began. Nyomi was incredibly smart and gentle, and those traits left a lasting mark on us. We see so much of her in Shampoo and are excited to preserve and build on what made Nyomi so special through her daughter.
